6 pax assembled on a foggy chilly morning at Whipping Stick AO. YHC had the pleasure of a guest Q, courtesy of Cousin Eddie. Circle up for disclaimer and warm-o-rama consisting of: SSH 20x IC, 10x IC slow ass merkins, 10x IC Mountain Climbers, 5x Good Mornings OYO, 10x WMH […]
Ok, so you may be wondering about that title. Slack had a thread going about changing my name. I have been known to bring a snack cake to a workout to give out at the end. Most of the time, it’s honey buns or TastyKake donuts, thus the discussion to […]
Weather: Not hot, but humid Thang: Warmups. Standard issue with a little flair. We got into the mood with a little Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass “Spanish Flea” playing in the background. Most mock that song, but deep down they like it. Mosey 1/2 lap around parking lot. 1 […]
Yes – We have a Saturday AO Yes – Its called Whipping Stick Yes – Cousin Eddie bailed on his Q to shamelessly promote Dad’s Camp in Asheville – YHC offered a substi-Q Warmup: Good Mornings Side Straddle Hops Alternating Toe Touches Hill Billies Mosey around parking lot Each […]
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 […]
It was a very nice ~50 degrees for the Saturday morning beatdown at Whipping Stick. Several of the WS faithfuls met YHC in the gloom to help him load the Ark (as requested on the Voxer on Friday). The THANG Warmup: SSH ATT Windmill Humpies High Knees Butt Kickers Let’s […]
Rain + Whippin’ Stick = Grassy muddy Soup The Drainage Engineers that built Northview Middle School should be flogged. When it rains, the athletic fields become soupy and gross. YHC is keenly aware of this and therefore wore proper attire to Whippin Stick. What proper attire is that, tough guy? […]
YHC had the Q at Whipping Stick this past Saturday (yes I know the BB is late, but better late than never – like Cousin Eddie showing up for my Q). Little did the guys know that they were going to train for a Spartan race. The workout was a […]
Whipping Stick? Yeah, this thing that we have on Saturdays. Clearly it’s not for everyone. Here are our current, very exclusive demographics: 18-62 year olds only dudes in the range of 60″ – 78″ tall dudes that either do or don’t wear lots of layers when it’s cold dudes that […]
YHC knew that quite a few of the normal Whipping Stick PAX would be running up Hibriten Mountain so he was unsure if there would be anyone left to post at Hickory’s best Saturday morning AO. He was all alone in the parking lot when a white truck pulled up […]
