SlingGate, I mean StarBlade
I got double booked this week as I had the Q for both Stargate and Slingblade. These 2 running workouts happen at the same time – one in Lenoir and the other in Granite Falls. I realize I am good, but not nearly that good! Friar handled Stargate for me – thanks man. Slingblade happened […]

And Why Are You Here?
When you don’t show up for a particular AO for months, I guess you deserve a little ribbing and to be asked the question “Why are you here?” My excuse is purely digestive. Dinner taste better the first time you eat it and not all throughout the workout. But when YHC has Q, then peanut […]
Takin Care of Burpees at The Rock
Enjoyed my first Q at The Rock in Valdese. 3 Pax joined me for some good cardio warmups, slinging some coupons, incline pullups/chin-ups with squats thrown in for fun, a mosey to the fountain for wide-fly incline mericans/dips/jab combo/R&R, followed by walls squats celebrating our favorite boxers. Another mosey back to The Rock for front/side […]

Road Trip Audible
Not really a Hemi when it is all GF Pax. More of a RoadTrip. Oh well, I’m sure we’ll return the favor one day, if we haven’t already. So…with only 3 of us…the partner work I had planned is a big ol bust. Time for a full on audible. LittleArmCircles x 12 FD x12 BW Mtn […]
The Walls of Granite Falls

Pail of Pain @ 300
Better late than never I guess with this late post from our 300 workout. This idea is complements of Snips (Nathan Miller) when he did the “Mystery Box” workout @ Prison Break. YHC decided to add a little twist, but the same concept. The Thang: 6 PAX showed up on this cool Saturday morning @ […]
The ballad of Granite Falls
The night prior when sleep was dire a baby stirs, the little dude, he’s a crier. To bed at last, half past twelve, up again, in my sleepless realm, once, twice, three times more, about this Q… I’m not so sure. 4:55, the alarm clock rings, birdies chirp, angels sing, that’s a lie, I hear […]

BandCamp leads a group of HIMs on a pleasant 5 mile journey on the beautiful streets of Granite Falls. Upon arrival back at the AO it’s obvious that more PAX are moving in. Then another group […]
