The Combine – Opening Weekend
Before we get into the official launch of Waxhaw’s newest AO, The Combine, let’s talk Saturdays for a second.
Because honestly…They’ve been pretty dang good.
Strong turnouts. Solid weinkes. Brotherhood dialed in. If you’ve been a regular Saturday poster, thank you. You’re setting the tone. And if you’ve been hovering, thinking maybe this is the year you want to get better, stronger, more disciplined, more accountable… consider this your invitation. Come on out to The Combine.

This weekend was just a taste of what’s coming.
YHC was feeling froggy, serving up Mericans and Tysons like they were on clearance. Your boy Jitterbug couldn’t resist further torching shoulders with rifle carries and testing Pax spirit with a little hill work in homage to the great Walter Payton. Nothing fancy. Just honest work. The kind that tells you exactly where you’re at.
And that’s kind of the point.

In about a month, we roll out the first-ever Combine Performance Test. You’ll get a two-week heads-up, so stay tuned. But know this: It’s about raising the bar, measuring what matters, and building a better you… one rep, one run, one decision at a time.
Plenty more fun ahead. Plenty more work too.
