The Thang: Leave No Man (or Object) Behind

The premise was simple. The execution? Absolutely brutal.

Mission: Transport every object from the bottom of “The Hill to Nowhere” to the top… and then back down again. No shortcuts. No skips. Every item had to make the full round trip and return to its original place.

How It Worked:

PAX 1 grabbed an object and carried it as far up the hill as possible. Once gassed, he ran back.
PAX 2 followed, grabbing the next closest object and pushing it farther.
This leapfrog of sweat and suffering continued until every last object returned to the starting point safely.

While waiting their turn, PAX kept the tempo with Side-Straddle Hops performed with robotic precision. Estimates suggest each HIM knocked out between 6,000 and 60,000 SSHs (give or take).

The Tools of Torment:

Each object had a prescribed method of transport — all of which would make a sadist smile:

Small cinder block – Bear crawl + push
Standard cinder block – Murder bunny
Big Bertha cinder block – Rifle carry
5-gallon water jug – Hug-a-jug
60 lb dumbbell – Suitcase carry
Lunge stick (4×4 post) – Lunge walk
The Duck Stick (post with concrete base) – Carry and shuffle

Final Word:

No man (or object) was left behind.
What started as a simple plan turned into a gritty, grind-it-out mission of strength, teamwork, and sheer determination.

This one was personal to me as I dedicated this to the memory of Captain T. He was a good man that wrestled with demons that took him from this earth too soon. Check in with your brothers today (F3 and those not in F3 alike). Someone may be in a fight you know nothing about and needs to be reminded that they are loved and that they have value.

Strong work, men. Mayhem delivered.
