YHC had the alarm set for 5:00 sharp this morning…but hit the snooze once and rose from the fartsack at 5:08 after convincing myself to get to Wolverine today. As I exited the house, I pulled up the Q sheet to see who was going to lead this beatdown…I was just glad it wasn’t me today! Oh Sh*t!! With approximately 4 minutes of prep time, we are off! Warm-Up Brisk jog down the path to the parking lot Hit the lines Circle up SSH Poorly executed cadence for Hillbillies…. [Read More]

AO: The Lion’s Den PAX: Disco Duck, Hi-Liter, Imp, Nerf, Red Ryder, Sub, Sour Mash, WWW The thought for the workout today has been planned for some time. I kept charting the time when it would be light enough to bring back ultimate frisbee/burpee. For the past week, the average time for sunrise was 0545 hrs. I just had to warm the PAX up and then do one round of a thang. [Read More]

It was a glorious day at Camp Frisco…uh, Bounty Hunters. 56 PAX showed up ready to work. I realized however that Hi-Liter, Pet Sounds, and Red Ryder were probably alone at their sites. After a few rounds of Rock-Paper-Scissors (and two recounts demanded by Cool Beans–TYFYL) 33 PAX were shipped off to other AOs. There would be penalty burpees in store for them, but none of them had contributed to my HIM of the Year campaign PAC so they were quickly dismissed from my thoughts. [Read More]

Amazingly fresh & a bit brisk this morning at FMJ! Nice size group of 11 – we got to know each other a bit better, got some sweat going, & had some fun! Here’s what happened in brief: Warm-up -- on the mosey around the soccer field/pond we made several stops along the way for good mornings, windmills, calf stretch merkins, burpees, SSH, hill billies, imperial walkers, etc. Thang 1: Aussie pull-ups on the even numbers 20 on down.

YHC felt a little Gumpy this morning, so I took advantage of the opportunity at Carpex’s finest High-Tempo bootcamp to get our run on. Warm-up: Good Mornings in honor of the missing Nature Boy SSH The Thang: One line of 9 for an Indian Run towards Mo-Ville Parkway One Stop for a set of WW2’s Back to Indian Run Continue on to corner, turning right on Mo-Ville Parkway after a set of merkins, then WW2’s Back to Indian Run Run towards the sun, stopping for a quick set of LBC’s, merkins, and WW2’s Back to Indian Run We found ourselves a dam with very tall grass, and an opportunity to do control freak incline partner sit-ups, truly a fun time.

It sure felt like that on the trek to Apex for this morning’s romp. I forget the disclaimer and pledge. I guess I was distraught about not being able to go to toshi station to pick up some power converters. Stupid uncle Owen. 29 of us moseyed to the parking lot for warm-ups Han Solo Hops Princess Leia Lunges Chewbacca Merkins (on my grunt) Obi Squat Kenobis Imperial Walkers Leia secured the Death Star plans and was subsequently chased by Darth Vader.

Date: 5/6/2019, AO: Wolverine QIC: Parker 18 gathered in the beautiful Wolverine gloom, officially the gloomiest AO in all of Carpex. No FNGs, YHC really butchered the disclaimer this morning, and was hoping the beatdown would only get better from there. Pledge, and off we go. Warm up: 1/2 mile mosey to the parking lot near the basketball court at Davis Dr. Middle. Circle up for 20 SSH, calf stretch left x 10 count, 10 merkins IC, calf stretch right x 10 count, 15 merkins IC.

Date: 5/2/2019 AO: Bounty Hunters PAX: Cataracts, Cheddar Bo, Crimson, Freebird, Frisco, Honeycomb, Imp, Kitty Litter, Michelob, Mud Buddy, Old Maid, Orphan, Oxtail, Pivot, Quequeg, Qwerty, Rooney, Schlitz, Slappy, Smokey, Sooey, Sooey’s Dad, Sub, Traffic Cone, Ultra, Wonderbread, Whirlie, WWW As I continue my quest to Q every week for 2019, my fear is to run out of exercises to do or create a workout that will challenge the HIMs. As for running out of exercises, that won’t happen because F3 created a great document with all kinds of things to do.

8 brave (or just sympathetic/misguided?) PAX came out to HARES @ Sovereign Grace Church this morning to attend YHC’s VQ! Rookie mistakes were made. Lessons were learned. The mumblechatter a constant. But in the end we all got to play with some coupons, hopefully got slightly wrecked, and we all came out the other side better than when we began. 0500 - Sub and 3 others kicked the morning off with some EC mileage and pullups.

Taking a page from Smokey’s playbook (although truth be known I had been planning this for years and YEARS so… yeah), YHC wanted to bring a soundtrack to this morning’s beatdown. Sadly, it turns out 1976 was quite a transitional year. The world was introduced to the Space Shuttle and the Concorde as people were not longer satisfied with the regular ways of getting from point A to B. Now we needed to do it in style! [Read More]
