Weather Conditions: 72° 3 Pax bested the fartsack and emerged at Shawshank this morning ready to work. Upon realizing that YHC would be StrideLiting alone, an alternate opportunity for some pre-boot camp setup presented itself. A few bricks and cones were laid out and a loose idea of what would take place was formulated. To …
Although YHC attended The Hollow on a few occasions, I never had the pleasure of taking a Q there; mainly due to a time conflict with YHC’s home at Surge. So when the chance came to help a fellow AO and grab a Q it was a no brainer to pick it up. The campus …

June 25, 2008 was a big day in the Price household as our youngest son Cooper was born. YHC decided to honor him on his 13th birthday. You’ll see the rep counts are all 6, 25, 8, or 13. The quest for the perfect Q continues as YHC botched the SSH reps then YHC couldn’t …

18 PAX (including 8 Ozzies) emerged from the #Fartsack this morning in search of a way to #GetBetter.

Well, YHC had the Q today after our VQ announced he had to pull with a leg injury. Talk about a let down. Guys were excited for a VQ only to read the announcement that Soaker was taking the lead. Guys decided they would be DR, slept through alarms, blamed the 2.0’s for being up …
YHC swore into this BB by putting his right foot a book that looked similar to a Bible. The morning started out like most average gloom Rooster mornings.

It’s hard to believe that it has been just over a year since YHC was dragged out to the Gloom and introduced to the HIMs of Surge. YHC still remembers the apprehension of heading to an elementary school parking lot at a God-forsaken hour to workout of all things! How ridiculous and how strange of …

An out of town visitor, Squid from Kanapolis NC, pulled into the AO this morning and with a TBD looming on the Q sheet the Smokehouse PAX had to make due.

YHC quietly signed to Q today’s workout to mark the 7th year to the day that Turning Point was launched. Ironic that we had 7 posts for the occasion.
