I was excited when Kilo asked for people to step up and Q at The Tank. This was my first opportunity to Q at a site other than Bayside. I will admit that it is a little bit intimidating to lead a group of men who you’ve mostly just met. After it was over IContinueContinue reading “BackBlast @ “The Chopper”: Guest Q 7/13″

The conditions were a little sticky at Bayside this morning. 7 PAX were present and pushed through the humidity to get better.

It was a perfect morning for a workout at Bayside. We’ve got a lot of regular PAX on vacation and other places so the numbers were a little down.

We started F3 in Shelby County in March of this year. I think our initial workout was in late February. I remember going through that workout thinking there is no way I’m going to be able to do this. Then, we had some guys from Louisville F3 come and lead a workout. They were crushingContinueContinue reading “BackBlast: Bayside 5/24”

What I love most about F3 is the varied workouts and how nothing ever seems to get old. For this workout, I found a back blast from another Q and thought it looked tough. However, it also looked really enjoyable. I swiped it, modified it because I hate burpees, and created a workout that hadContinueContinue reading “Bayside Pre-Blast 5/24: I love F3 & Merkins”

What a beautiful morning at Bayside. We certainly didn’t waste it. It was a morning in the lower 60s with a slight breeze.

Days like this one are a blessing to be able to be outside grinding with other HIMs. Pax: BananaContinueContinue reading “Backblast: Bayside 5/10”
