Tomorrow at the Mutt it’s going to be down right frigid. We’re going to get the toys out of the toy box and move some weight so we can stay warm. If you want to run, this is not the place for you. If you want to get better by lifting heavy things then comeContinue reading “Plumb Bob Heavy at the Mutt Preblast”

The weather tomorrow at the Vet will be perfect for a cardio beatdown. We’re gonna do burpees. We’re gonna bear crawl. We’re gonna suffer. We’re gonna get better. Bring a coupon or sandbag. If you don’t have one, come anyway, there will be loaners. SYITG Plumb Bob

Tomorrow at Big Mo it’s gonna be cold. Bring a coupon or ruck because we’re going to be lifting. If you don’t have one, don’t let that stop you form coming out. I’m sure there will be extras to borrow. Don’t let pitiful excuses stop you from coming out and getting better. We don’t getContinue reading “1/18/21 Big Mo Pre-Blast”

Tomorrow at the O it’s going to be another cold one with some possible snow. I don’t want to get your little toes wet and cold so I will be sure to stay off the grass. However, I can’t promise that you won’t be sitting or laying in snow. We will do a bit ofContinue reading “1/16/21 The Ruiner at The O Pre-blast”

For those of that gave blood today, you were told not to do any heavy lifting. So out of respect for those that gave, tomorrow at the Posh we are going to move and move a lot. The weather will be perfect for a good cardio and running workout. No coupons needed but good runningContinue reading “1/11/21 Incubator at the Posh Pre Blast”

Come out to the Mutt tomorrow for a full body HEAVY beatdown from Hot Wheels and Plumb Bob. We won’t use the equipment but a coupon or ruck will be required. If you don’t have a coupon, then there are plenty of coupons that are probably not covered in Coronavirus in the Mutt’s Coupon Garden.Continue reading “1/6/21 Heavy at the Mutt Pre-Blast”

Tomorrow at the Vet we’re going to continue with the Ruck PT workouts to get us ready for GrowRuck. However, if you’re not doing GrowRuck or you don’t have a ruck, don’t let that stop you from joining the fun. After last week’s mumblechatter about Jamie Lee Curtis, who knows what it’s in store forContinue reading “Pre-Blast 9/21/20 Big Mo at Vets”

Tomorrow marks the 2 Year anniversary of the day that Abacus almost killed me on a blazing hot Saturday morning at the Big Four Bridge. But I’m still here and a better man for it. I’m in better shape now at 42 than I was at 22. (That’s more of an indictment of how unhealthyContinue reading “Plumb Bob 2 Year Postiversary Q”

According to the Weasel Shaker, which I’m sure is 100% accurate, tomorrow will be my 400th post. Come celebrate with me as we do 400 of something. Mostly lifting of your own body weight, not a whole lot of running. You will get better! Come over to the Sunny Side and join us. Plumb Bob

That’s right gentlemen. Zoolander is making a glorious appearance at the Mutt to Q tomorrow. What? How on Earth is this happening? Well it’s happening! Just not the Zoolander you think. Zoolander from F3 Indy is coming down to help out YHC. We met in college and have been friends ever since. Mainly because IContinue reading “7/25/20 Pre-Blast Zoolander and Plumb Bob Co-Q at the Mutt”

I dropped a ruck plate on my ankle this morning and it’s pretty swollen and sore.  We’ll move some but not a whole lot of running.  Come on out to the newest BO spot.  All the cool kids are doing it and you should too.  The weather forecast looks as about as good and weContinue reading “Plumb Bob Q @ Chapel Lake Park”

There had been talk of starting a black ops (and soon to be a permanent AO) in Indiana since the beginning of 2020 with a start date in early April.  We all know what happened instead. Once the restrictions started to let up and we started to get more comfortable with getting out in theContinue reading “Back Blast BO at Chapel Lake Park”

Tomorrow is the day we’ve all been waiting for!!  We’re going to get things running in Southern Indiana.  Like all great experiments, (ie. the first polio vaccine, Pavlov and his dog, Democracy) there’s going to be a few bumps in the road.  The only way we can make those bumps smaller is through the supportContinue reading “Pre-Blast 7/7/20 Southern Indiana BO”

Plumb Bob, people will come Plumb Bob. They’ll come to The Mutt for reasons they can’t even fathom. They’ll turn up Cherrywood Drive not knowing for sure why they’re doing it. They’ll arrive at The Mutt as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won’t mind if you look around, you’ll say.Continue reading “Pre Blast 7/4/20- Baseball at The Mutt”

Since we have been directed by leadership to refrain from using coupons the Heavy Blender as we know it is going to have to take a bit of a sabbatical. Never fear my friends that still want to get swole, we will still have a Heavy.  How heavy depends on how heavy you are.  We’reContinue reading “Not Heavy 3/18/20 at the Mutt Pre-blast”

It had been a while since I had Q’d at the O.  I made sure I had this one in my rotation for the Iron Horse Challenge.  On a side note, there was no playing with anyone’s balls in this workout. (See Viking) PAX(12): Grinder, Tron, Loco, Russdiculous, Violet, Cookie, Vincent(R), Jitterbug(R), TicTok(FNG)(R) , Jewel,Continue reading “Backblast Temple Of Gloom 3/5/20”

Come out to the O for a full body workout.  We will run some but not long distances. (Unless I change my mind. Who knows?)  We won’t do burpees. (I definately won’t doubt I’ll change my mind about that.) Bring some gloves, or not.  Whatever, I don’t care. It’s up to you. You’re a bigContinue reading “Preblast 3/5/20 Temple of Gloom”

It was my first time leading the HIMs at the Posh.  In fact I hadn’t visited there too many times. It’s a pretty long drive at 0500.  However I was looking forward to finally getting out there to Q.  I didn’t want to get too far out of the box with it since I wasContinue reading “2/19/20 The Bridge at The Posh Back Blast”

I’l be making my first ever Q at the Posh.  My body is accustomed to doing the Heavy at the Mutt on Wednesdays and I don’t want to put it into shock so we’ll be moving some coupons around for a full body smoke session.  Not a lot of running involved in this one. TheContinue reading “2/19/20 The Bridge at the Posh Pre-Blast”

  WEATHER: Frigid, 17°, 5° wind chill, cloudy PAX (13): Geppetto, Pope, Glen Ross, Fergie, Buschhhhh, Duckling, Snowman, Sump Pump, Zima, Wham!, Fridge, PED, Plumb Bob (Q) I don’t like Valentine’s Day.  I don’t dislike it either.  Truth is, I just don’t care.  If that’s your thing then by all means go out do yourContinue reading “Valentine’s Day 2020 Back Blast”

Come to the 40206 and celebrate the most dreaded day of the year tomorrow with Mary T.  It’s going to be cold but dry.  A full body workout is planned with a bit of running.  We’re going to stay moving and stay warm.  Bring some good shoes and gloves. Plumb Bob

I love The Garden. It’s a bit too far for me to drive to on a daily, or even weekly, basis but I enjoy going there.  There’s tons of space, coupons and hills. Those Hills!! WEATHER: 35°, cloudy, light wind, wind chill 28° PAX: Methane, Wide Right, Nice and Slow, Frosted Tips, Domino, Meter Maid,Continue reading “2/6/20 Cloverfield at the Garden Back Blast”

Come out to the Garden for my first Q at The Garden.  When the Iron Horse was announced and we had to Q some different sites, I knew I wanted to visit The Garden.  This site has it all and I can’t wait to get out there.  I’m planning a complete workout with emphasis onContinue reading “2/6/20 Pre-blast Cloverfield at the Garden”

When Old Bay and I sat down to plan the January Ruck Event, our goal was not to try and “one up” the previous events we just wanted to plan something that was truly ours.  Let’s face it, no one is going to out do Zartan and his partner’s yearly beer rucks.  We wanted toContinue reading “January Ruck Event Back Blast 1/17/20”

DANG was it cold this morning! It was 17deg with a light wind and a few snow flurries.  However, 9 men, including an FNG showed up at Vets to get better and move some weight. PAX: (10) Flounder, Backdraft, Meatball, Geppetto, Whitney (R), Sticky (FNG)(R), Diablo, Kilo, Worm, Plumb Bob (Q) It was important toContinue reading “1/20/20 Big Mo Back Blast”

Tomorrow is a special day.  Yes, it is Martin Luther Day, and I mean no disrespect to Dr. King when I say it is also a very important day for another reason.  It is the 28 year anniversary of a very monumental day in the history of hip hop.  It was 28 years ago tomorrowContinue reading “1/20 Big Mo Pre-Blast”

As of yesterday they were predicting 100% chance of rain on Saturday morning.  As of this moment, the forecast is 35%.  I predict that by 7:00 it will be down to 0%.  So I’m planning a workout based on my uneducated opinion.  The temps are going to be in the 60s so get out thereContinue reading “Preblast 1/11 The Hurt at The Mutt”

When trying to prepare my wenkie for this workout it dawned on me that today was 12 days before Christmas.  Boom! I had my theme for the workout.  Now I just had to come up with 12 exercises (without the use of coupons) to sufficiently challenge the PAX.  So here’s how it went down. PAX(9):Continue reading “12/13/19 The Chopper at the Vets Back-Blast”

Fun Fact #1: In the original lyrics to the Twelve Days of Christmas, the fourth gift was “four colly birds”.  Colly was a regional English term meaning “coal black”.  Due to the obscurity of the word, over time it has been replaced with canary birds, collie birds, colored birds, and finally our standard calling birds.Continue reading “12/13 The Chopper at the Vets Pre-Blast”
