Too cold for city boys
“Sometimes I wonder if the Star boys could hang at an Expresso workout. Try it out, we won’t bite.” This morning’s workout was an Alexander County special. The Spoke. Brought to you by former Bethlehem resident Abraham and adjusted to fit the parking deck at the ER. YHC calls it the concentric spoke. The original […]
Members Only?
Whipping Stick. I’m not sure who dubbed Hickory’s original AO, but I’m sure the name stems from Hickory…tree….stick…Whipping Stick. It’s not a bad name, and I only mention this in jest but I wonder if we should change the name to Members Only? It has clearly become the most exclusive AO in all of Hickory’s […]
Parade of Horribles
Monkey see, Monkey do. Copy and paste. Copy cat. Call it however you see it because I’m not ashamed to let you know that I rarely have an original idea, but Your Boy is fairly talented at taking someone else’s idea and trying to make to make it horribler. Or is it worster? Badder? When […]
Arm Downpainment
I tried a gentle EH on the PAX Monday late afternoon to get more to post…happy for the six that posted but we are missing those that have said they would support our weekday bootcamp workouts. Nevertheless, I’ll get to the workout that ensued… Weather- 38°F, Wind 3MPH from the North (felt stronger), 32° F […]
Changing of the Q
I drove all the way to the AO and realized I forgot the flag. So I had to run back and pick it up. Today I would pass the torch to Baby Face. He is now the Master Q of The Den. 8 Way was kind enough to let me Q the last workout of […]
Pleasantly Surprised
Well Woody was supposed to have the Q today, but he is MIA. Hope he’s still alive…..we should probably check on him. So as the Master Q, I decided I would answer the bell. It was pretty convenient since I was supposed to Q on Thursday and didn’t. So I already had the workout planned. […]
Some New Stuff for Lenoir
I have nothing witty to say today…… Warm Up Jackee Ladder – This is a Burpee with a SSH at the top instead of a jump. Start with 10 and work out way down to 1. Did an extra 10 for a victory lap Reverse bear crawl up the hill to the upper parking lot […]
Old School Expresso
Conditions: 29F The Thang: YHC literally cannot remember the last time he Q’d Expresso. Thanks to Goodwill for adding him to the list, it’s been way too long. YHC dug up some of his old school Expresso favorites then it went like this: Warm up IC 20 X SSH 20 X ATT 20 X High […]
Better Late than Never!!
YHC realizes that it has taken a while to finally get this backblast out, and that I am short a couple PAX on this list (my fault fellas). If you were there, you know it and same if you weren’t. It was rainy….Shocking!! YHC is 100% a one trick pony when it comes to RAM. […]
Infinity Numero Uno
Infinity, the only thing accurate about this A/O’s name is that it accurately describes all the amount of excuses people to have to fartsack it. Anyway, three PAX rolled up and ran a little over 3 miles together…by together I mean PBR and I ran together and DB stayed about a tenth mile ahead of […]
