So today was FINALLY the official soft launch for Carpex’s newest AO, Wile Wild West at Apex Friendship High School! Sir Chicken Little and I are fortunate enough to be your site Qs for this AO. SCL was just coming back from a week of drinking at the beach so I told him I’d take the reigns this morning for the beat down. He’ll have the Q next Monday for the official hard launch. [Read More]

Eric Carmen

This Guy! for a solo EC run. While running I couldn’t get the song “All by Myself” out of my head, when I thought I might be all alone for the workout. So I’d like to present for discussion a new word to the Lexicon… The Eric Carmen, a workout where you are all by yourself. However that didn’t last long as I saw Pet Sounds and Theismann pull into the parking lot for the ME [Read More]

Antisocial Distance

The original plan for this morning involved some partner work and pull ups, but in keeping with the current SD policy YHC decided to save that workout for a later date. As of Wednesday afternoon YHC had been stuck at home all week without running since Sunday, so the PAX were instructed via pre-blast that we would do some running. YHC rolled up at 0501 with Revere and Mohawk, we split up and did some EC running and pull ups. [Read More]

A Year Goes By Fast

Posted on March 11, 2020 | 3 minutes | 522 words |

A little over a year ago, YHC was talking with our awesome 1st F Qs about a new Wednesday workout. Numbers were problematic across all the AOs, and I had some ideas about where might be a good place to launch. We talked about a number of options, and through those conversations I learned another PAX was interested in the same thing. To this point, I didn’t know Sour Mash very well - 99% sure that this was my fault. [Read More]

All right, maybe not. But the GPS made an interesting pattern and there were a bunch of He-Men out at Gran Torino this AM: 10 Boot Camp, 6 Runners, and 4 Ruckers. Disclaimer disclaimed to FNG Steve Beaker’s beginnings (The Warm-Up) Mosey around the school, stopping along the way at some spots along the way for: Accelerating Side-Straddle Hops Sir-Fazio Arm Circles Wille-Mays Hayes Daisy Pickers Mountain Climbers Beaker’s Beatdown (The Thang) [Read More]

“Hey, it’s 5:43, we should probably stop doing pull-ups and head over to the flag.” With that, 3 of the 8 total PAX we’d have for Claymore today made their way to the area where the flag sometimes rests. That is, when a site Q shows up to Claymore and has a flag. And with that, Frisco comes in hot, on 2 wheels tearing into the parking lot. With the flag. [Read More]

Musical Monday with Hanson, Ep. 1

Posted on February 25, 2020 | 3 minutes | 546 words |

A few weeks back YHC was bemoaning the fact that we have an AO named Hells Bells but rarely have any music. Then I had a revelation. The Q picks the soundtrack. Also, I had been planning to Q more this year. Thus the PAX were stuck with YHC for 45 minutes this beautiful Monday morning. YHC arrived around 4:50 and hit the pull up bars while Revere and Mohawk went for a run. [Read More]

Box Jumps for Breakfast

It was another cold morning, but actually felt pretty good. Maybe F3 is making me tougher. Warm-Up Mosey around the school parking lot and circle up for hillbillies (cause we’re in Apex), Sir Fazios, cherry pickers, burpees, monkey humpers and Carolina Dry Docks. The Thang Mosey to the stairs for three rounds of 22’s. Round 1 - Australian mountain climbers and box jumps Round 2 - Irkins and dips Round 3 - Wonder bras and derkins [Read More]

Backblast for my VQ, so I guess this is my VBB. As I was reviewing the extensive F3 Exicon for exercises/routines for my VQ, I saw the Racoon Crawl. I knew I had to incorporate that into the Q. So the whole Q was built around doing that exercise. There are a lot of animal crawls, walks, etc. That’s for another Q. No FNG’s, No Disclaimer, Mission, Pledge. Warm Up: [Read More]

Accountability 2020

Posted on January 19, 2020 | 2 minutes | 238 words |

The new year brings new goals. YHC has not been very good at stepping up to Q as often as I should. So, what do you do about it? You get an accountability partner and make a pack. So, for 2020, YHC and my accountability partner @Deuce will hold each other accountable to Q at least once a month. In that vain, January kicks off the accountability pack with a Co-Q at Dazed and Confused. [Read More]
