Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Da Parish, Happy Birthday to me. YHC is not sure who started this tradition of Qing a PAX special day, but the gloom was not the first thing I wanted to greet on the first day of my 37th …
5 Studs showed up for some F3 Poker this morning. But first the disclaimer…”If you or someone you know has a gambling problem….” Warm-up A standard Hawgcycle warm-up, start with SSH to 31 then loosen the hips with some Imperial Walkers. Next, stretch the Hammies with some Abe Vigodas. Then …
YHC enjoyed the Easter weekend with Friends and Family and was a bit tardy with this backblast. Well off we go. YHC wanted the workout to focus on our “ABS”. Also wanted to focus on some pull-ups as I don’t think we do these often enough. On to the warmup …
Our prayers go out to our brother Hawg as his mother went home to Jesus Christ after a battle with cancer. Pray for Hawg’s family and especially his father during this time. Since Hawg is returning from Arkansas today, YHC picked up the Q for our monthly RED Friday Hero …
It’s been awhile since YHC was at The Uptowner. Inertia–and the ability to fartsack for another ten minutes–had been drawing him to Wolf Pack Mountain for many weeks, as it’s just a stone’s throw (well, if Mahatma is throwing stones, not YHC) from YHC’s home. So back to roots for …

Today’s RED Friday was in honor of Cpl. William Crouch from Zachary, LA. Cpl. Crouch was killed by a roadside bomb in June of 2007 in Hadid, Iraq. He was a Calvary Scout for the 2nd Squadron, 1st Calvary Regiment of the 4th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division of the United …
The Uptowner was greeted with 14 fiends this week itching to get their Friday fix. Although YHC had been voluntold to Q weeks ago, he slacked on working up a fancy workout with a cool theme, laminated weinkie, or pre-arranged cones. Therefore, back to basics for the PAX with 45 …
The title is a quote from Left Eye, and you can understand where he is coming from. Uptowners stay in one place. That’s what you expect. So what’s happened the last three weeks at The Uptowner? Three weeks ago – A Murph, by definition it includes 2 miles of running …
We had a dirty dozen for the Murph this morning at The Uptowner. Given the limited pull-up bar space, we broke up the run into 4 half – mile runs, staggering groups of 6ish. The Murph never disappoints. Lots of us struggle with pull-ups and how do you get better …
