Today 20 men came out in the gloom to honor the fallen soldiers from TF 1-18IN who paid the ultimate sacrifice during Operation Iraqi Freedom II (2004). This workout was especially personal to me as these were all of the men that I deployed with who paid the ultimate sacrifice and did not come home […]

“It’s only 2 minutes…”
Is NOT something heard during this mornings workout…especially as we pressed the log over our head from shoulder to shoulder for that length of time😊. I want to be sure to give full credit for the idea to use the logs to grinder for the great recommendation. It was already over 60 degrees at 0530 […]
Impromptu Birthday Party!!!
This morning 29 men came out for their usual Highlands beatdown and were treated to a Birthday Party instead. Brinkley was nice enough to allow me to lead my bday Q (my virgin Q with the HC pax) and unfortunately I was turning 41, not 18. Thanks for allowing a crazy skywalker native come lead you […]
Tribute to Pearl Harbor
10 men came out this this cold and foggy morning to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in the attack on Pearl Harbor. We did everything in increments of 7, 12, 19, 41, 75 to align to the 75th anniversary and today’s date of December 7, 1941. This was a tough workout, but everyone pushed through all […]
I DEMAND A RE-COUNT!!!
This is turning out to be a week full of tough decisions, the biggest was probably the one that these 8 pax made to fight through the election hangover and join their brothers in the gloom for an opportunity to jump start their day. Inspired by our Tuesday workout at Rolling Stone where we paired […]
Lumberjack birthday beatdown
This morning 11 pax made the best decision they will make all day as they came out to join their brothers in a birthday beatdown for Dirty Martino. After this morning’s workout I can say with complete confidence that these men earned their hot dogs at the intimidators game this evening. These logs were larger than […]
The BIG 3-0!!!
This morning 16 men came out to join Genie for his milestone birthday beatdown…as stated in the title, the entire beatdown was inspired by his new age:) Even the route appears to look at little like the number 30 (ok, so the 0 looks like it is a bit deflated, but so did many of […]
Songs we know & love…
or at least we used to love. It was a beautiful morning to stand around in a circle and listen to some music…so that is exactly what we did (minus the standing around and maybe threw in a couple burpees and merkins). After this morning, I am confident that I may have ruined the nostalgic joy […]
Finish the week strong!!
With Genie being out of town, the 10 men who converged on Skywalker arrived to a surprise QJ We proceeded to push ourselves to the brink of exhaustion, but there really is no better way to start the day. I am super proud of Monie (FNG) for coming out and pushing through one of our […]
22 Until None – a tribute to our veterans
15 men chose to leave their fartsacks to help me pay a special tribute to all the veterans who struggle with PTSD / Depression and honor a close friend and war hero who lost his battle last week. We drew our inspiration from the “22” veterans who lose this battle daily, the fact that those […]
