Hello again. I am back with a new routine and some choices the PAX gets to make to determine their future destruction. Just like in Ghostbusters you all get to pick your destroyer.

7.2.18 Mutt BO BB: I will have one shaved Grinder and a couple of coupons on the side
In true BlackOp form, today’s WO was born out of one mans desire to post when other options would not accommodate his schedule. That man was me, obviously, and an early work meeting kept me from posting at either option at Poshlands. Point is this: If you want to do something different from what’s normallyContinueContinue reading “7.2.18 Mutt BO BB: I will have one shaved Grinder and a couple of coupons on the side”
7.2.18 Mutt BO

Kilo informed me that he needed a Q for this BO. I needed a reason to post. Perfect fit.

5.17.18 Mary T BlackOp: Addition by Division
It has been stated that YHC is hosting BlackOps at locations near the Mutt on the same day as Mutt WOs. This statement is 100% true. In order to continue our growth it is critical we thin the ranks on WOs that are trending into the high 20’s week after week. Imagine an FNG whoContinueContinue reading “5.17.18 Mary T BlackOp: Addition by Division”
5.15.18 Sojourn BlackOp BB: Sloop John B
So sometimes using Mechanix gloves to protect your manicured hands has negative consequences. And other times a fat fingered Tabata App tap skips a Thin Lizzy song and lands you squarely in a Beach Boys playlist. The result: beautiful. Any way, we pushed the non running WO to the limits today and I am prettyContinueContinue reading “5.15.18 Sojourn BlackOp BB: Sloop John B”
