As seems to be a theme in Lenoir, we had another leader-less workout. Scratch that, we had a leader-full workout. We still had some tired arms from yesterday’s “capoot” Ironpax workout, so we decided early that we’d need to avoid merkins, or really any arm or chest exercises. I asked […]
Pre: YHC has spent the last few days quarantined in my mother in law apartment, away from everyone unless double masked. Every ache and pain, every sniffle and cough a possible harbinger of impending doom and mortality. So it was some relief to receive the negative test result and to […]

With the forecast of rain wasn’t sure what size group we would have. However these guys are committed and we had 7 men for the workout. Started with the usual warmups ( side straddle hops, storm troopers, humpys). Then one round of circle merkins clockwise and then circle merkins counter […]
I am late writing this and to be honest, I forgot the other 19 guys who posted. Important note – write BB as soon as possible so you can remember! I was put on the Q schedule for two AOs so I asked the ARROW pax to roam a little […]
