Oh yes, now we are in the dog days of summer. So not only did we have 80 degree temperature greeting us at 5:30 but let’s add 100% humidity as it rained the day before. Fun times and time for some upper-body work. As El Wire duly noted towards the …
When Jingle Vader said he would be out of town and needed someone to step up to Q, YHC realized this was roughly his two year F3 Anniversary, and agreed to take the reigns from the mighty JV. YHC first posted on June 11, 2016 where Maverick was the Q, …
Hurt yourself, don’t hurt yourself, your Q had disclaimer issues. Least of the Pax’ problems today…let’s mosey. Around the horn discover Brown Bag hiding in the shrubbery then over to touchdown Jesus for the first COP: SSHx 20, MC x20, HB x20, PP x20, Squat Jacks no Smurf Jacks x 20, …
This Q had me shaking in fear like night. I was not intending to Q this morning. I had made plans with Hawg to swap Qs. I would take his birdcage Q in early April, and he would take my Q in early June. I filled in admirably for him …

YHC hadn’t been to the Uptowner for almost three months–not since he banged up his right arm at the end of the Tough Mudder on St. Patty’s Day. Walleye said it’d take two months or so to start to feel right again–he was right about the “or so” part. But …
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, …
This year the first Friday of the month has been RED Friday at The Uptowner. I have to give credit to F3 Greenwood. I stole their idea and sometimes steal their workouts. Today we celebrated the life and service of Sgt. Thomas MacPherson. More on him in the NMM. Conditions: …
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 …
