AO: A-Team Workout Date: 06/07/21 After Slippery When Wet on Friday, I verified with site Q Henny Penny that A-Team was, indeed, a standard boot camp. The A-Team was one of my favorite television shows when I was growing up. I really wanted to have some inspired routines for this. The first one came pretty easily, Burpee-American Hammer Elevens for the A-Team’s master mechanic, B. A. Baracus. Solid! What exercises could I come up for Hannibal, Faceman, and Howlin’ Mad Murdock?

It Was My Understanding

 Posted on June 9, 2021  |  3 minutes  |  463 words  |  

AO: Slippery When Wet Workout Date: 06/04/21 I really prefer to post a new AO before Qing, but it doesn’t always happen. In these cases I perform due diligence, verifying the workout format and scoping out the AO on Google Maps. According to the F3 Carpex website, Slippery When Wet is a standard boot camp. Warm Up: Give the mission statement, check for FNGs (1), give the disclaimer, and warm up: [Read More]

Flirtin' With High Tempo

 Posted on June 1, 2021  |  3 minutes  |  469 words  |  

AO: Flirtin’ With Disaster Workout Date: 06/01/21 YHC was looking to mix things up with a set of Number of the Beast (lifted from Jimmer’s Ambassador Q), but I couldn’t find a good area with six clearly defined stations. I did check out the shopping center parking lot on my prerun, but ultimately I couldn’t get over how well the Flirtin’ With Disaster parking lot was set up for 7-11s. [Read More]

It's Only Ruck and Roll

 Posted on June 1, 2021  |  3 minutes  |  498 words  |  

AO: Rolling Stone Workout Date: 05/28/21 After Qing Quickhatch, YHC wondered how much PT was expected at a Ruck workout. The Quickatch guys were happy to just ruck a couple of miles and my called exercises seemed like an awkward novelty. I reached out to site Q Bartman to get an idea for Rolling Stone and found PT would be preferred. With a big demand for PT, I opted for the weinke and did some internet searches for good ruck exercises. [Read More]

Redemption. And socks

 Posted on May 29, 2021  |  3 minutes  |  510 words  |  

It’s easy to become complacent. And get in a rut. We all do that from time to time. Do you ever find yourself only posting at the same AOs, week after week? Well, then weeks turn into months. A few things were in play that led YHC to grab the Q for Gran Torino for May 28. First of all, I’d not Q’d this workout since last year. In fact I hadn’t been here in months. [Read More]

West to Winterfell

 Posted on May 24, 2021  |  3 minutes  |  593 words  |  

AO: Winterfell Workout Date: 05/24/21 The Wake County geography doesn’t quite overlay with fictional Westeros for me to claim I am going over the proverbial wall between Raleigh and Carpex. I do recall Winterfell being on the west side of Westeros, so I’ll go with that. It was a bit of a drive for me this morning, but not too bad (22 minutes or so). After The Farm on Saturday, I didn’t even think about it. [Read More]

2ndF Red Line Overload in the Danger Zone

 Posted on May 21, 2021  |  3 minutes  |  618 words  |  

AO: Danger Zone (duh) Workout Date: 05/21/21 Danger Zone was the first Carpex AO that YHC ever posted, way back in October 2017. I had started posting with my 2.0 BOOM! (7 years old at the time) since he was usually wide awake at 5AM. We ran into Burt at The Forge and he encouraged us to come check out his Q that week at DZ. In preparation for my Q, I dug up Burt’s old Backblast (see NMS) and had a good laugh. [Read More]

Three Mile Minimum

 Posted on May 18, 2021  |  3 minutes  |  504 words  |  

Workout Date: 05/18/21 Working on my stretch goal, YHC has been making some moves on the Carpex Q sheets. I was somewhat apprehensive about blindly signing up to Q a “high tempo” workout without posting first. I’ve seen more than one AO where this label no longer applies, and others where the label is missing. I did my due diligence, verifying with Peeping Tom that Full Metal Jacket really was high tempo and posting Kryptonite the day before to get a taste of Carpex High Tempo. [Read More]

Zero Piranhas, Three Bunnies

 Posted on May 17, 2021  |  2 minutes  |  425 words  |  

Workout Date: 05/15/21 YHC has never posted Piranha Park, but as I am stepping up my Carpex Qs, I figured a standard one hour Saturday workout would be a great start. Warm Up: Check for FNGs, give the mission statement, give the disclaimer, and warm up: Side Straddle Hop x20 In Cadence (IC) Good Morning x10 IC Imperial Walker x20 IC Sir Fazio Arm Circles x10 IC Forward x10 IC Reverse [Read More]

 Posted on May 9, 2021  |  2 minutes  |  326 words  |  

Workout Date: 04/29/21 This is my third Carpex Q of the week (and fourth overall) as I try to force myself back into a regular posting schedule. This is also my third Cornerstone Church Q of the week, a great site for the no run/low run/coupon crowd. Like the pull up bars I had incorporated yesterday, the cinder blocks were on my mind for today. Warm Up: Give the mission statement, check for FNGs, give the disclaimer, and warm up: [Read More]
