No bacon, no end zone dances just a piping hot serving of maple glazed, candied pain. Triple Threat Style with burpees taboot!

Date: 4/2/19 QIC: WWW AO: FWD PAX: Kitty Litter, Lite Brite, Oofta, Smokey, Titanic, WWW, Yoga Mat My quest to Q once a week is still going strong. I drove the FWD proper yesterday, after work, to recon the AO. What’s deceiving is when you are driving in your car, you do not realize that FWD is in a valley; therefore, to get out of it, there is an incline no matter which direction you chose and venture off to.

Pre-Blast 15 men grew stronger together physically, relationally, and spiritually at Apex’s premier limited run work out on Wednesday that meets at Sovereign Grace Church, Tortoises. Incredible extended COT with several men sharing about their struggles and victories related to mental health. After a raise of hands, we realized that virtually everyone in the circle had dealt with one or more of the issues we discussed in their life. I especially loved seeing the young guys learning from the older guys who’ve really been through. [Read More]

F3 #NoOyo

One day after a heavy morning across Carpex and F3 Nation c/o #F3MentalBattle, YHC thought the pax needed some good ole fashioned BO fellowship. But, before that 3 (YHC, Burt and Old Maid) for EC around DTC, and wait a 4th arrives at the end as well. What up, Term Paper? As for the ME, we set out to do some Strava art (and YHC got the pax in on it early… smart strategy). [Read More]

Stay In It

Preparing for a Bombing Run ... Bombs Away!!!

Date: 3/26 QIC: WWW AO: Claymore PAX: Bo Jackson, Dice, Ezekiel, Leprechaun, Pickles, Skipper, Press On, WWW The toughest part about wanting to Q every week is not being predictable. With that said, it’s fun combing through the Exicon to find some new workouts and exercises. There are so many choices to choose from and many ways to create a devilish routine. I got the though of creating a different workout. [Read More]

Tears of Pain

A beautiful, God-given morning greets 18 HIM for an impromptu, Earhart beatdown (get better Riptide). Most of the PAX show-up on time, so quick disclaimer and pledge allegiance then a quick mosey around the big parking lot. Circle up for: Warm Up Good Mornings Combo of shoulder work including arm circle twirlies, overhead claps, behind the back claps Cotton Pickers Windmills The Thang Done with warm-ups, each PAX grab a bell, Sega grab the 15lb medicine ball and head to the back shelter.

As Easy as 1-2-4

It’s a little known secret that when YHC Qs sometimes I transpose numbers or leave out/imply the unimportant ones. It isn’t really an issue though because I am still considered the best Q in Carpex (In fact, Ma Bell has even taken me aside a number of times and offered to pay for me to attend an elite Q school called Camp Gladiator for the next few years.) But there is always room for improvement so YHC thought long and hard about how to deal with all of these ’numbers’. [Read More]

Kotters, Crimson

A lot of chatter the night before about the amount of chatter coming YHC’s way this morning. Had a nice little vanilla workout planned, but the return of our brother Crimson pulled big crowd, and most of them are big talkers. Modify as needed has a new meaning. Warm-Up Mosey over to the church entrance and circle up for side straddle hops, hillbillies (cause we’re in Apex), Sir Fazios and cotton pickers. [Read More]

#HelloBrother

YHC went to a multi faith prayer vigil at Broughton high school with 2.1 in remembrance of those killed in the mass shooting in Christchurch New Zealand. One of the speakers was Farris Barakat, brother to Deah Shaddy Barakat, a second year dental student at UNC, who was murdered 2-10-15 at his home in Chapel Hill. Farris shared the story of the Muslim man, Daoud Nabi, at the mosque in Christchurch. [Read More]

Twas a starry night in the gloom which was ideal to bring on some Thunderstruck!

Date: 3/18/2019 QIC: WWW AO: A Team PAX: 15 For some reason, Sky Q forgot to turn on the heater. Albeit being a crisp / brisk morning, it was a blessing to be out there leading the PAX in the workout. Sooey graced us with his presence to get his walk in. Sooey is da Man because he did not wait long to get back out in the gloom. There is always one or two PAX that would not mind taking a walk with him. [Read More]
