Hickory by the numbers

We’re 5 years old now and still as strong as ever.  No, that’s not correct.  We’re much stronger than when we first started.  Expansion into Burke County starts this month…..Morganton, we got our eyes on you.  Still working on the men of Exodus to start an AO in SW Hickory.  Something is going to work […]

I’m not crying, that’s just sweat in my eyes….

YHC pulled up to Prison Break with a few minutes to spare this AM to find Bizmark and Swinger laying on the ground, in the dark, stretching out. I hopped out and began my laps around the parking lot to try to wake up my knees (getting old is the worst!). Real soon we had […]

Rummy!

Pulled in to find the Pax waiting patiently for my arrival. I was late.  Everyone made fun of YHC’s voice. I think I sound strong and mysterious, like Tom Waits. But really I sound tired and soul sucking like Patty and Selma Bouvier. Warm-up Guys, I made made it through three whole exercises without messing […]

F3 Granite Falls Q School, Part 3

“Wait . . . there is a third part to F3 Q School?  I knew about part one, where we discuss the history, structure and reasoning behind the three Fs over a beer or sweet tea.  And, of course, the beatdown portion was a no brainer; I knew that was coming.  But what is this […]

A Coolish Start at Infinity

YHC had read the mumblechatter on Slack yesterday about sick Q’s, who’s going to be Q, and nothing about who was posting. In fact, YHC wasn’t sure if I would post. YHC does, in fact, get out of the ol’ fartsack and made the long .5 mile trek to Infinity. Rolled in to a parking […]

Block work

I pulled up to Prison Break and saw an empty parking lot. What is this? Everyone only skips on PBR’s Qs!! After a few minutes, the PAX started rolling in just in time. And then a few late arrivals made it a nice sized group! With everyone finally out and moving, we got started…. Warmup […]

Leaning in to infinity ♾

Perhaps YHC should not play on the phone late at night. Especially as I’m starting my vacation early with an extra beer (or two) before heading to bed. Sometimes a call goes out for a Substi-Q, and bad decisions are made—at least bad decisions at 39 equal an early morning workout and not nicknaming myself […]
