Posted on December 31, 2018 | 2 minutes | 384 words |

13 optimistic HIM showed up in the gloomiest of glooms to ring out the old year in style. YHC was looking for a way to celebrate 2018 while looking into 2019 filled with hope. Being the 365th day of the year, a theme emerged. 365, you say? Could it be another Hi-Liter style burpee-fest?, the PAX wondered aloud. Read on to find out… Warmup After a quick tribute to our nation ‘round Old Glory, we moseyed to the basketball courts. [Read More]

Head-to-Toe, Let Yourself Swoll, Slow and Low that is the Tempo

Posted on December 29, 2018 | 3 minutes | 452 words |

On a balmy and moist December morn, a handful of PAX gathered at Danger Zone to slow down, take a deep breath, and ready themselves to finish up an amazing year in Carpex. While others may opt for a quicker pace, YHC decided it was time to slow down and focus on form and strength. Some of the toughest workouts I’ve endured featured tempo Merkins and long-hold planks, so I thought I’d put together a workout of nothing but Slow and Low exercises. [Read More]

Pain Stick Party

Posted on December 27, 2018 | 2 minutes | 234 words |

Pre-Blast 8 for a pain stick party at BO. YHC worked with the fellas to make sure we ALL counted during exercises. There’s only one way to learn to count cadence when you Q a workout… You have to practice by counting aloud when someone else is leading. It is definitely more difficult to breathe, but that’s the point: you learn and grow stronger. WWW led the pace back to the flag. [Read More]

The Making of A Champion

Posted on December 19, 2018 | 3 minutes | 633 words |

The idea for this workout just fell into my lap. On Tuesday, there was some debate on Slack about what it takes to be a champion. Some would posit that showing up and staying makes you a champion. YHC would posit that deciding to get up at butt crack of dawn to attend a workout and sticking around is laudable, but is just a prerequisite to becoming a champion. Since YHC is the QIC, YHC gets to decide what constitutes a champion. [Read More]

OGs of DZ

Uuuughh Maybe 5 hours of sleep just isn’t enough to fully recover from a holiday party as lit as a Carpex party. It was in the 40’s, cloudy with a chance of rain (and/or merlot), and multiple PAX were feeling ROOOOUUGH. Burt, evidently, wasn’t one of them. He instead was up to his usual antics of yelling loudly. Flacco was not appreciative. Nor was I. YHC saw it was 0545 and took off around the pickle. [Read More]
