Getting FAT w/ Red Baron aka Eagle One

With Eagle One in town, you know him as F3 Red Baron (but truth be told he will always be Dad), I had to ask the QIC’s for this day if YHC could steal a spot. Tclaps to Red Ryder for stepping aside. Brother, I owe you one. So, with Red Baron sitting shot-gun to Wolverine we went. Pax huddled up, with an FNG on-hand and a stellar disclaimer, we were off. [Read More]

Bruising Phoenix

QIC: WWW PAX: Ezekiel, WWW Thank goodness for the bruiser option. During the FMJ workout with GTL as the Q, we did some hill work which is always an awesome workout. However, because of my knee issue, I was trying to be too careful and somehow on the way down the hill trying not to slip, I felt a sharp pain in the knee. So I modified to bear crawl up the hill and crawl bear down the hill. [Read More]

Ruck Takeover

Friday, February 1, 2019 - Cary, NC. Those attending what was purported to be a high-tempo bootcamp workout at Gran Torino were shocked and amazed to arrive and discover the site had been taken over by shady characters wearing “military-style” backpacks. Assault backpacks, even. With carrying handles and other menacing features. They did their best to shrug it off and proceed with their running around, while the ruckers got after it. [Read More]

Super Supermen and Pull-Ups from down under, just another typical morning at Bradford's Ordinary.

YHC woke up early on this Thursday morning, fine tuning the v-beatdown and concerned that there was not enough goodness on the agenda. The perfect weather and Burt’s bag o tanks (which appeared to be a schmedium on YHC) put my mind at ease. Warm Up - Flacco took us through the Pledge, then on the scenic mosey to the bank where we indulged in Good Mornings, Side Straddle Hops, Standard Merkins, along with a lovely Runner’s Stretch.
