Another great group I was honored to lead today. The boys pushed hard and humidity was nice and high ugh… The chatter seemed to be a minimum ( Even Schneider) so I assume everyone was happy with the workout. Sledge o Matic pushed himself hard today and this was the first we ever partner up- nice work brother. Sledge, also finished the workout and look like he rolled down Crowder Mountain, you might need a little extra detergent in the wash, Surge, Ricky Bobby, Schneider and Rockwell crushed it today. Spits when not at home photo shopping the chicken in a towel is rising to the Gazelle level right before our eyes- excellent work brother. Falco, this is my first time meeting you brother– WELCOME and I look forward to posting with you more- heck of a job bro.
Announcements
Ricky Bobby was the 6th man- name from his work since he was at Fox sports and mainly works on NASCAR. Ricky is from the great community of Briarcrest and was Ehed out to the workout by Chicken Little and Schneider and he is held accountable by O-69, Schneider and Chicken ( Briarcrest WOLFPACK ). Ricky is down around 30-35 lbs and is moving from the back of the pack when he started to the front of the pack and loves the push from others. Ricky Bobby made a great point today– When he started and was the 6th it meant a lot when the faster guys come back and gave him encouragement— Remember boys it is more than a workout and encouraging your brothers goes a long way.
Keep Tayler in your thoughts and prayers– 31 year old man who Mayhem is connected with has passed away..

Watchtower is meeting at Weddington Middle School
Waxhaw Express meeting 5:15 am at Cuthberson challenge yourselff
Chicken Little on Q at Watchtower
What: A workout celebrating our country’s independence
When: Monday, July 5th at 8:00 AM
Where: Launching spot for The Brave. The Community House shopping center with Another Broken Egg and the bar/restaurant formerly known as The Gibson.
July 5th celebration you ask???? That’s right we are extending the celebration of our country’s independence with a workout on Monday, July 5th, since most of us will be off from work that day. And not just any workout, this is a 2.0 friendly workout. But do I need to bring a 2.0 for admission into this exclusive workout you ask? Not at all…this workout will be suited for kids of all ages including the Pax that are kids at heart.
We will meet at the launch site of The Brave and head over to F3 SOB’s newest playground, Ballantyne’s Backyard. 100 acres of sprawling fairways, tee boxes and putting greens. There we will have several workouts capped off with the most intense game of kickball this side of the Four Mile Creek greenway.
This will be a great reason for your 2.0 to get out of bed and not waste the day away (shakes fist at sky) and a great reason to invite that FNG that keeps mentioning that he wishes he had a way to celebrate Independence Day with a kickball game.
-War Eagle, Midriff and Mary Kay
8 pax at Clemson did some circuit work. Not gonna give the details because it was fun and I plan to unleash it on the pax in the nearish future.
Down here for vacation and discovered Monday’s site is less than 0.5 miles from the AirBNB I’m in. Did a little pre-run to the AO worked out with some dudes and ran back.
Prior to the workout I did a few laps around the track. If there’s ever a time to be wearing a headlamp it was today. Glad I packed mine. Midway around the first lap the beam of my headlamp caught to glowing eyes in the middle of my path about 15 feet ahead. It took me a few steps to register and another few to stop. Good thing I did as the two glowing eyes I thought belonged to a cat instead belonged to a skunk. We stared at each other as I quickly, but not suddenly, reversed directions and ceded the track to him.
I’m glad we didn’t have a closer encounter or I might be sporting a new name upon my return to Waxhaw

As always I leading the group and today was no different. I do not post much at Asylum mainly because Chickens need their beauty rest– but this site has many so much to offer from benches, Large Lots, hoods to run around.. Today the PAX pushed themselves as usual and with the added humidity it pretty much sucked in a good way. Thanks for allowing me to lead.

Premature- Loved seeing you back out brother.
O-69- Thanks for knocking on my window while I was working on my Wienke and making me pretty much shit myself at 4:50 am– AWESOME JOB today as usual.
Did you ever think Turnbuckle would push you to work harder? Me neither, but he did today. Here’s that story….
I put out a call last night for the men of Waxhaw to try something new. All but 1 decided to stay with their same ole, comfy workout. Thanks TB for making it a workout of 2 instead of 1.
5:14. TB and I start to accept the fact that it will be just him and I. He suggests relocating to Cuthbertson but I know that is damn near a knock out blow to a newly opened site so I hold firm in keeping the workout here. I ask if we need to do DiCCS and TB laughs. “No, I think I go it” says TB. I make it known that I’ve got a cell phone and CPR. Watch for cars. Lets go.
WARM UP
Mosey towards bad idea. Stop at the Cemetery for stretches with merkins mixed in to keep us on our toes.
THE THANG
Jogged to the bottom of Bad Idea and then back up to the stop sign. Rest if needed then back to the bottom for round 2. I saw TB pushing hard up the hill so I decided to run with him. We got to the top and TB was a mixture of relived and proud. I didn’t have the heart to tell him he had to do it again so I audibled and we ran back to the school. Along the way TB commenting that he was struggling with the running today. More than last week. He had apparently never done a boot camp after giving blood.
We get to the back side of the school where I had developed a hybrid AMRAP course. It was only 0.12 miles around with four exercises. Merkins, Fence Squat Jumps, Walking Lunges, and Foot Release Squats. The difficult part was a decent set of stairs and a progressive count. Round 1 started with 5 of each. Round 2: 10 reps. Round 3: 15. We made it to Round 5 before I decided that was enough.
While at the bottom of the stairs, Foundation drifted into my head (Why, I do not know. But I often see Deflated day dreaming and I suppose that’s what he’s thinking of as well) and I decided that before heading to our next destination, we should do 5 calf raises on each step. TB now hates me.
Mosey to the side of the school for 10 Merkins and 10 Donkey kicks. Continue on your own down to 1 and 1.
About 3 minutes left so we mosey to the parking lot and I ask for one final jail break to the cars to empty our tanks. We get there and there is 1 minute left and we are at 1.95 miles. C’est ne pas bon (That’s no good). So I tell TB lets go walk the last minute to roll us to 2 miles. We arrive back to COT on time and at 2.01 miles. I’m about to start name-o-rama when TB hits me with a question I wasn’t prepared for. “Want to go get in another half mile?” Uh….yeah?! So off we go. The first quarter mile was at a jog. The second quarter mile was a mix of jogging and walking, and the last quarter mile (yes, we went over) was all walking. So today, The Lycan was an hour long workout. Thanks for the push TB!
MOLESKIN
15 men gathered on the eve of Fathers Day at Calvary to run some miles and take in some humidity. I had a recycled workout ready to be executed. I gave a disclaimer and told the crew we would be discussing “Dad moments” as we travelled. We took a turn toward exit 3 (I think) of the Calvary campus and ran toward Carrington Racquet Club. Here goes:
Warm Up:
IW
LSS
Merkins
The Thang:
I filled in the troops that we would be running the cul-de-sacs of Carrington and Bevington. At each cul-de-sac, we knocked out 15 of the stated exercise. I made up the exercises as we went (shocker, I know….and noted by Alf) but the ones I recall are:
Heels to Heaven
CDDs
Plank Jacks
Dolly
Merkins
HR Merkins
Freddy Mercury
Monkey Humpers
We finished up on Bevington and ran toward the South Charlotte Library. We ran past a post mortem deer on Rea which only exasperated the aggressive upward slope run. We did some Mary in the library lot followed by some calf raises while partners ran the lot loop. Some stern, angry looking librarians showed up for work so we got out of dodge.
We finished up with gassers in the Calvary lot with 10 counts and Mary exercises mixed in.
That’s a wrap….4.5 miles!
Moleskin:
During our run, I asked selected pax to answer questions about their Dads. Thanks for playing along. Here were the questions and answers by dude:
Stonecold: Q: Best vacation with your Dad? A: Surf City Beach in 1980 (bonus points for remembering the year)
Horsehead: Q: Line you always heard your Dad say? A: That’ll put spickarickum in your macaroni (copyright stolen for title)
Spackler: Q: Funniest thing your Dad did as a kid? A: Dragged weights out of the garage and lifted them in the driveway to pick up the ladies.
Prohibition: Q: What was your Dad’s favorite drink? A: Old Fashioned with cheap bourbon.
Alf: Q: What was the maddest you ever made your dad? A: Lied about turning the house upside down looking for Playboys.
My apologies if I forgot any Dad stories! Weigh in if I did. Great to be with you boys! Geraldo and Hoover, thanks for the privilege to Q! The Rock Zero site will always be dear to me! So many great memories and so many more to be made….courtesy of the men of A51! Happy Father’s Day studs!

This was a group of men that pushed themselves hard today. Mark Kay gave it his all and said he thought this was a nightmare. Wildturkey pulled up to the launch with his Ruck #beast. I am pretty sure he was drinking 4Loco before he got out of his car. Spare parts destroyed the Ben Nevis hill nice work out there. Frankie has really gotten strong and was making short work of the hills. Nice job. Billy goat put down the miles with ease.
Thanks for letting me be a small part of your day.
