Read moreMoving Blocks Around at Parliament
YHC and company (Froman and Tonka) rolled in and the Q descended from the passenger side just a few seconds before official time. The entrance, and the Q’s confusion about up and down dogs, amused the PAX. WARM UPS SSH / IS / arm swirly...
Read moreMost Relaxing Q
Warm-O-Rama: 30 SSHs since it was March 30, Abe Vigoda, Whirly with a clap, Arm swirlie things both ways, Michael Phelps. At Mayhem you say relax instead of recover, which made High Cotton very proud it’s catching on. The Thang: Before we even...
Read moreComplaints, pomegranates, and a big hill at Conspiracy
Thankful for the opportunity to Q at the Mothership AO for the first time in a long time, and fresh off the randomness that is a Lamb Chop Q at Flatline, YHC thought the pax deserved a lovely dose of the classics on this prestigious locale. It...

Read moreKeep It Simple Silly
kept it real simple… we took advantage of it being just 3 dudes and warmed up properly! After 5 minutes of that, we jogged over to the bank water feature I promised once we got there the workout would be easy to follow. And here it is: 1...
Read moreMr. Q, Tear Down Those Lanterns!
YHC started by reciting the core principles and only missing 1 (the one about being free). The irony was that I had David Hasselhoff’s “I’ve been looking for Freedom” on the track list. Lucky for all of us, it...
Read moreDoes This Road Go Anywhere?
Warmarama: Started slowly, at pax’s request, with typical hamstring stretches, up/down dawg combo, SSHs, Abe Vigodas, Whirlies, and Cherry Pies. The Thang: Mosey to bottom of Hill to Nowhere and partner up for round 1 of mountain ascent. Partner...
Read moreSt. Paddy’s Day WIB
YHC was excited to have the Q for WIB for the first time in a while. All of my previous WIB’s have been held at the Whitaker Square Harris Teeter and have typically been just plain awful. But this time, YHC was feeling particularly selfish...
