The mindset: After a few months of baptism by fire beatdowns at the Stage YHCs first Peltier Park Q was set with great anticipation. Was the confidence there? Was my cadence on point? Enough props? What if it rains? Will Cardinal ask fine print questions? Will Goose undoubtedly question my …
Everything had come together. It was time. Late night event meant YHC didn’t have much time to plan for the next morning’s beatdown, and the newer guys were dropping like flies with excuses as to why they weren’t gonna make it. So, knowing that there would just be three to …
YHC was excited about the potential for record breaking numbers at the Houma location, Lumen Christi, including a unique FNG: priest #2 for the Bayou PAX! (Fr. J.D. Matherne, pastor of St. Hilary in Raceland will heretofore be known as Cutthroat!). However, at 5:45am, with what sounded like a Category …
A beatdown on the Saturday of Mardi Gras weekend couldn’t leave the PAX unprepared for the festivities that awaited them. So out of charity for the brothers, YHC couldn’t let them down for his first Q. The indisputable best way to pass the time as you’re tailgating waiting for the …
Every group needs a prop guy ,I thought as a peered into my garage (“beatdown laboratory”) for Q inspiration. Heavy bar? old bands? Lonely kettlebell? Abandoned pool noodle? A plan formed for a “prop guy” workout at the Stage on a warm (return of the warmup sweat) bayou morning. The …

A solid 9 PAX (ultimately) gathered in the frozen gloom, though Goats in the Machine and the newly named Sonic rolled in a little late and had to meet us on the football field due to a classic 4-year-old shoe hunt. PAX: Enron, Cardinal, Kilo, Dumpster Fire, Goats in the …
Started the morning off with a special F3 Thibodaux Ceremony. 4 PAX assembled on the Stage. One of our founding fathers placed our very own shovel flag at the stage and we watched it flap gently in the dawn breeze. Shout out to Goose and Enron for the work on …
YHC decided to give the props a break and go back old school with an ALARM coupon workout picked fresh from the Lexicon. 3 Pax assembled at the stage in a still but chilly bayou gloom. WarmoRama: Usuals SSH, IW, Windmills (requested by master sensei Goose), arm circles, self love, …
YHC rolled up to the stage at exactly 6:15 to see 4 PAX waiting patiently to get started. I then had to inform them that help was needed moving the bricks gathered from my back yard over to the front of “the stage”. Grateful this morning to make it out …
