Bucking Tradition’s tradition of Monday Kettle Bells, YHC decided to mix up the routine with some cardio, strength and much needed stretching. It went like this: Mosey around the church SSH x 20 Bobby Hurleys x 20 Downward facing dog, 3 point, runners lunge, warrior 2 Mosey around the church SSH x 20 Merkin-to-side plank-to-Merkin-to-side […]

Tradition Iron Fist
7 men posted to Iron Fist including guest Bob Vila from Raleigh and returning FNG Royal. As usual, a bit of stretching was incorporated into YHC IF workout, so hopefully all were challenged and found some places that have not been worked in a while. It went like this… Mosey around church to cinderblock area (jogging […]
Pulsate like this
9 men gathered for Iron Fist…and probably didn’t know what is in store for a non-traditional Tradition IF with Mountaineer at the helm. It went like this… Mosey around the church clockwise to portico I’s, Y’s, T’s & W’s – 20 each OYO SSH – 20 IC Hamstring stretches 30 sec – one leg over the […]
Stretchy Iron
Four showed up for Iron First at Tradition on this cool Thanksgiving Eve Day Morning workout. The siren calls from the fartsack are becoming more entrancing as the temperature dips (trust me, I know), but we made it out and got down to business in short order to warm-up and mix some stretching into our […]
No Ties Required
9 men posted for the Iron Fist workout that (hopefully) ended with some stretched out and tired muscles! There was some mumblechatter about the relative quietness of the group, but R2D2 gladly filled the void by discussing his work attire. No ties required here, so we briskly moved through our workout. It went like this… 1) Mosey around the […]
Iron Fist Interpreted
13 men showed up this morning for a Mountaineer-interpreted Iron Fist work out. I know no running in Iron Fist, blah, blah, blah. But, boring is boring, so we had to move around a bit. It went like this… 1) Mosey around the church clockwise to the car portico thingy Arm extensions and standing snow […]
Mixing it Up
Having been MIA for several weeks, YHC had this brilliant idea of trying a bunch of exercises in succession that was intended to bring some variety to Iron Fist. The jury is out on the effectiveness of this strategy, but it hopefully had some challenging elements. After 2 cruisers set sail down Prosperity Ch., the […]
Note to Self – No Sprints in the Rain
7 men posted this morning for a mix of kettle bells and stretching. After our long mosey to the Haunted Day Care and back, the rain started, which should have been a signal to scale back on the sprinting portion of the workout. Hmmm, now I know. It went something like this… Run to Haunted Day […]
Iron Fist on the fly
11 men (and 1 Guinness) made their way to Tradition for an Iron Fist workout. As YHC signed up to Q at the last minute, the workout was…well…on the fly. It went like this, if I remember correctly… Long mosey around the church 1) IM Stretches – fly, back, breast, free – each 20 IC […]
A Mix of Bells, Cardio and Stretching for Traditioners
4 men showed up for the S.W.A.T. workout at Tradition. I believe the acronym is for Swinging Weights at Tradition, but creative liberties were taking with the actual work out…since I could. It went something like this…. Long mosey around the church Stretch: I’s, Y’s, T’s & W’s – 20 OYO High knees to pulled […]
