Deep in the depths of the Paradox iPhone lives a playlist that has no name. It feeds on the souls of poor burpee form. It has daily injections of AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. It never stops looking for repetitive songs to link with even more repetitive exercises. It delights at …
The number 40 is clearly a big deal–it shows up in some of the most important events in Scripture, and it’s a turning point in the lives of most people. So, this day being that turning point for YHC, I decided to take a dive into some of those important …
When YHC was driving home last night, I noticed a large speed checking radar display set up in the neighborhood, and this morning’s beatdown materialized around it. It was only a matter of coming up with how to make it work with only one man sprinting and the rest not …
YHC rolled up to the stage only to be greeted with 35th Birthday wishes from Percleator, Cardinal, and Paradox. I instructed them that we would need to unload not only bricks, but hoping that Goose would arrive soon, coupons as well. As Goose arrived, dangerously close to 5:30, the work …
YHC was too lazy to unload the coupons from the truck after yesterday, so we used them again this morning. A lot. PAX: Paradox, Paradiddle, Elmer’s, Tighty Whitey, and Goose Warmup: SSH, WM, AC, IW, SL, all while staring at the ominous pile of blocks on top of the hill. …

Dense bayou gloom surrounded the stage this morning for what was planned to be a traditional beatdown. YHC and JBL were in the middle of some light stretching when a bus full of PAX arrived: Eminem, Led Zeppelin, the Peppers, AC/DC, and Axel Rose stepped off a tricked-out tour bus …
It’s tough when FNG’s come on weekdays. Smaller number of PAX means there’s nowhere to hide when you’re just trying to survive, but the soon to be named Roughneck never gave up despite the feeling of drowning that we all remember too well from our own first beatdowns. With YHC, …
“I guess it comes down to a simple choice, get busy living or get busy dying”- Andy Dufrene “Owens, you have to stop opening essays with Shawshank Redemption quotes”- YHC’s Junior English teacher Birthdays make YHC emotional. This is a known fact. A day for self-deprecating humor about YHCs body …
As the PAX slowly trickled in at the Peltch on the morning of Holy Saturday, we tried to guess whose car was pulling in as soon as we could see the headlights down the road. But one car mystified us, even as it pulled to a stop in the parking …
