So as 23 PAX gathered in the short-lived gloom, YHC reminded everyone that this month’s ISI challenge is 10,000 Merkins in one month. Quite the task as that equates to an average of 333.33 merkins/day for those who are mathematically challenged. Merkins were promised and as you will soon see, …
Lovely Monday morning at Rock City: cool crisp 80 degree air, with 90% humidity. Great way to start the week. Pulling up to the park, I see the train on the tracks – is this going to be a repeat of last week? Momentary panic sets in – but moments …
Leading 20+ men on Saturday beat-down is a tall order, so Your Humble Correspondent (YHC) needed to prepare. On the afternoon before the workout, my 9-year-old son and I took I bike ride to City Park to survey any hidden corners typically overlooked during Mothership workouts. Whenever the Pax moseys …
At 05:30 YHC gave the disclaimer and we were off. A quick mosey over to Touchdown Jesus for the warmup: SSH x 51 IC Mosey to WPM for an Indian Run to the top. Quick round of Mary: LBC’s x 51 IC Mosey down one level to the base of …

My first Q in a while was core-focused. I rolled in hot and was the last one to join the PAX. We kicked things off with some warm-ups in place: -20 x SSH -20 x plank jacks -20 x mountain climbers Then we moseyed over to fairway near the pull …
A little slow with the bb but here it is nevertheless… Inspired by the new for sale deck of death – and realizing that as far as I know – the Uptown crew has never lived a Deck of Death. So I brought a deck and we did the deed …
YHC was going to fall short by a tenth of a point in the ISI challenge for the month of May. But yesterday YHC saw an opportunity to take the lead, but was careful not to taunt Shooter from the Northshore and chance getting crushed! Those NS Pax are relentless! …
