Alpo delivered the beatdown, but never saw it happen
YHC has been trying to get serious about training for the upcoming Spartan and after a few weeks of being a Shipyard regular, decided to get back out to Fury in order to get in an extra 33% more work. Alpo was scheduled for the Q but rolled in at 0500 carrying a sheet of […]
Just Another Day at Fury
This was the 2nd Sat FuryQ in a row for YHC. A ton has changed at Fury since that last Q. The lock went missing, the tires left town, the weights were relocated, ThunderSticks were introduced, the tires returned from vacay, a BattleChain was born, and Alpo turned another yera wiser. It was incumbent upon […]
Back to basics
I have been wanting to bring a different type approach to Fury. Something simple, but effective. So me and Jugs went and got replacement tires yesterday and I put my thinking cap on. I wanted to add some more weight training stuff mixed with some cardio. I thought up some new movements for Fury 2min […]
Soft Rock/Hard Work
I put out the call that I needed an even number of PAX at Fury based on the entire workout being partner based. It was looking good until a pax moving at the pace of a sloth emerged from the woods while the on time PAX struggled through an endless round of SSHs. Turns out that sloth […]
Music Makes It Better
Do you have a speaker? That was the first question asked by a pax this morning upon arriving at Fury. Unfortunately, I do not and no one else did either. Others have set a standard with playing tunes during the tough workouts. The music does have a way of getting your mind off of the […]
Coming in Hot
11 PAX decided to give Fury a try this morning. For some reason, despite getting up in plenty of time, I was running late and came in on two wheels just slightly after 5:00am. My bad. I think I was still pissed about the decision to move Tsunami from Fury back to Emerald. It seems […]
3rd Time’s a Charm
On the 3rd and Final installment of Alpo’s Trifecta, things got a little interesting. Memorial Day YHC created two ThunderSticks filled with sand that shook the scales at 47 lbs. Looking to increase the difficulty, two more were created using concrete that weigh in at 63 lbs each. So today we took them to an […]

Thunder Thunder ThunderSticks Hooooaaaa!
A couple of weeks ago I came across a post from from someone gifting “pain sticks” to a new AO. The pain sticks looked to be 2-3 ft long and filled with concrete. This got me thinking about a nagging problem that has been discussed in F3 Greenwood about not having anything heavier than a […]
The Truth Is Out There…
Tough morning today. The Murph had taken it’s toll and everybody was feeling it. I decided to go with the 1300 workout mainly because I didn’t feel much like running. I was sore and didn’t feel like moving much. But then Southern Belle showed up with a weighted vest, and Alpo brought some new pieces […]
