Nine men got together for Halloween festivities at Phoenix on Saturday. Glad at least one person got dressed up! Identity Thief It’s too bad he was late… Warm-up: Eight men started off with the Pledge at 6:30AM. The parking lot was mostly empty, save for the approximately 793 sundry signs in Red, Blue and Yellow. Early voting closes at 3PM today so it’s going to be a busy day. After the pledge, we mosey out of the parking lot towards the big field just as a car comes rounding the corner. [Read More]

I like this AO site…there’s a reason it hosts 3 of CARPEX’s workouts every week. I posted a bit early to scout the site for my ideas, said farewell to the EC bubbas and headed into the Gloom of Apex Community Park. I had originally planned on the Dora encompassing the loop from the pavilion all the way around the utility access trail and back through the parking lots (approx. . [Read More]

YHC got late notice on Monday from Frisco that he was isolating due to possible COVID exposure, so he would not be able to Q. YHC’s Qs had been in a rut of late: Dora, Sevens, blah… wanted to do something different this time and given the short notice, would be doing so more or less on the fly. Seven PAX at the start in a damp, but well-lit Claymore parking lot. [Read More]

Wait there’s an AO in my neighborhood? Yes, yes there is. It’s a wonderful low impact AO designed to make men stronger with their own body weight and rocks. It’s also run by two high impact men in @Pickles and @Frisco. Who knows what @Frisco’s actual nom de guerre is today, as he and the site flag were MIA. Although he did give a head’s up that he might be absent due to working 0000-0400. [Read More]

Last week I was in a COP with Repeato, and somehow Chumbawumba’s earworm Tubthumping came up. He said “oh yeah, you can do burpees to that song.” It inspired me to cook up a Q where we did the three musically-synced workouts that immediately come to mind. I figured my birthday Q would be a good time to debut this. I was a little aggressive on the “filler material” yesterday, and we only got one song in, much to Hotspot’s disappointment. [Read More]

I haven’t been posting very consistently over the past 6 months but I have been doing the 2020 Core Challenge on an almost daily basis since the beginning of February. Therefore I thought it was appropriate to do a fair bit of core work for this (3rd) Anniversary Q. Also, considering the fact that due to the nature of my work, I’m holding a squat position for a good part of the day I wanted to incorporate some squat work as well. [Read More]

So last week I had a brutal beatdown planned to end my one year anniversary week, but some unforeseen circumstances prevented that. Luckily Wrench is a true HIM and stepped in and even luckier the Q was open this week so I had a second chance to bring some pain. EC For those who don’t know, Wrench’s DES this year is to run the Maynard and then do a murph and I’m guessing probably a triathlon in the afternoon. [Read More]
