Friar Tuck: (a few days ago) “So, Mr Rogers, do you guys try to keep The Forge on the lighter side for guys who are getting acclimated?”
Mr Rogers: “Well, it’s billed as an FNG-friendly workout…but no, not really.”
All YHC needed to hear.
Recalling sage wisdom conveyed from the local F3 Jefes, which posits the truth that men do not come and come back because it’s soft but because it hurts, this Friar retreated to the Woodshed to construct a Mechanism for Demolition. It’s the prerogative of the Q.
And credit the PAX. The men of The Forge met this Mechanism with momentum and might. In the words of other F3 Jefes, “Embrace the Suck.” Embrace it we did.

There was some discussion of highly irregular man waxing whilst the PAX sojourned across the grounds of NCSU. The exact phraseology is mercifully erased from the mind of this Friar, but suffice it to say that it was a kind of engineering that should not be found in future Wolfpack Course Catalogues.
