Let’s have a monster turnout next Wednesday at all of our glorious AOs to support mental health awareness.   This struggle is very real, and should NOT be taboo for a man to talk about. Bump your coffee meeting.  Reschedule your morning hot yoga.  Submit your TPS report early. Get there.

By now, everyone knows the goals that were set for the week.  Revisit the core principles of F3, reinforce the important components of Qing a workout, and ignite the leader that each of us has inside.  I will use bullet points to entice Mouth to read to the end. PAX (15) – Bo Schembechler (DRContinueContinue reading “10.24.18 – Blender – Q school back blast with Old Bay.”

No matter where you go, it’s back to basics tomorrow boys.  Come join in the fun, and don’t sit in the back row of class like you did in grade school.

Well, it was hot Monday night in October, and I found myself without a Q for the Blender.  I (half) threatened a nasty WO if no one stepped up, and sure enough, Hot Wheels took the reigns.  He was the one to deliver the beat down instead of me – Woof.  Then OJ said heContinueContinue reading “10.11.18 – T.O.G. back blast with Old Bay at the helm”

Let’s do some dumb things together tomorrow morning.  We will make  ourselves a little bit faster, a little bit stronger, a little bit handsomer, a little bit better. Defeat the fartsack.  Come get after it  with me ITG at the glorious O.  I’ll be pulling out some old tricks, and we’ll try something new IContinueContinue reading “Pre Blast Temple of Gloom 10/11/18 – Old Bay at the Helm”

Short and sweet today boys: 6 PAX defeated the fart sack, and braved the mosquito-infested grounds of Joe Creason Park.  Grinder, Trump, Zoolander, Flo Jo, Starchild, Old Bay (Q).  At the beginning of the WO, our boy Lung Dart had not yet arrived, and we were concerned for his well being. Mosey to tennis courtContinueContinue reading “10.02.18 – Carpenter backblast – Old Bay”

Old Bay at the helm. “It’s 0529, and we are shockingly dry””

I just listened to episode 14 of the F3 43 Feet podcast, and it really resonated with me.   Dredd proposes that to increase consistency, you must remove decision making.  You get dressed the same way every day without thinking about it.  You do automatic bill pay so you don’t have to think about it.ContinueContinue reading “09.25.18 Rooster Pre-blast. Old Bay at the helm.”

Short on time this morning, short back blast.  I was pumped to roll out to Bayside to deliver an Old Bay beat down.  I scouted the location on Friday afternoon on my way back from Lexington.  I was getting some strange looks from the staff as I circled the parking lot multiple times.  I decidedContinueContinue reading “08.18.18 Backblast from Shelby County. Old Bay at the Helm.”

1 + 2 + 3 does not equal 6.  It equals awesome.  Come get some ITG.  0600.

2 weeks ago I Q’d the Rooster at the Mutt during a pretty severe thunderstorm.  This morning I Q’d the Extender at the Mutt during a pretty sever thunderstorm.   Truth be told, I was annoyed when I looked out the window this morning.  Was anyone going to come this time?  Would I give theContinueContinue reading “08.16.18 Extender Back Blast – Old Bay waterboarding…again”

I’ve thought long and hard about this, so let’s get right to it:  I love you boys, but I just can’t do this F3 thing any longer.  Old Bay out. I’m tired all the time.  I’m sore all the time.  I’m hungry all the time.  I’ve had to buy smaller clothes…dumb base layers for theContinueContinue reading “08.16.18 Extender Pre Blast. Old Bay’s farewell.”

We Mutts get our balls busted for not leaving the friendly confines of Holy Trinity very often.  While this is sometimes true, we also step up when called.  There was a general shit-talking neighborhood text going around, and I made a shameless plug for my Agony Q.  I asked “which of you jerks is comingContinueContinue reading “08.09.18 Backblast. Old Bay at the Helm of Agony.”

Who says Mutts don’t travel?  Well, everyone, because they’re often right.  That changes tomorrow, at least for me.  Come get wrecked ITG.  My last post at the Agony was the Board of Pain day.   I intend to repay that debt. We will do some stuff and some other stuff and some things, and we willContinueContinue reading “08.09 P.B. Old Bay bringing the Agony to St. Al’s.”

Well, all of the rain jokes have been made.  Lieutenant Dan pictures have been posted.  We all patted ourselves on the ass for coming out this morning.  How about a few quotes from the M’s after the gloom? Wham! – “My wife said we will ‘catch our death’ in this weather.”  What is she anContinueContinue reading “07.31.18 Rooster Back Blast – Old Bay at the helm”

Tomorrow there is a crucible, a VQ, and 17 other workouts for you to choose from.  How am I gonna bring the boys to the yard?  I guess I’ll just promise to keep it spicy.  You know what you get with me.  Or do you? Come do some stuff and some things, and get betterContinueContinue reading “07.31 Rooster PreBlast – Old Bay back at the Helm”

Men, A new challenge has been launched, and yes, it started yesterday!  Great job so far!  The idea behind this CSBNRP (completely stupid but not really pointless) is to encourage YOU to visit other AOs.  I am an absolute Mutt homer, I admit it.  The Mutt is 0.25 miles away from my fart sack.  LessContinueContinue reading “Congratulations! You’re already late!”

Seneca.  The Big O.  Our own Mecca in Louisville KY.  The land of broken ankles, a 1.25 mile track, and urine-soaked coupons.  This AO will always be my jam, even though I don’t get here nearly enough.  To be fair, I think a fat kid eats the cake in his backyard more often that theContinueContinue reading “06.26.18 – Bag O’ Wrenches – Old Bay BB”

Ahhhhh….the O.  This is where my F3 journey began last summer.  I don’t get here enough.  The forecast looks eerily similar to what I experienced that fateful morning in June of 2017. There are lots of good choices for you to post at tomorrow.  The only bad decision you can make is to not post.ContinueContinue reading “06.26.18 Bag O’ Wrenches Pre-Blast – Old Bay at the Helm.”

  As I previously stated, I hadn’t Q’d a Saturday in a while, so I had been tinkering with my weinke (heh-heh) all week. I was jacked for the WO that I came up with, but I slept surprisingly well Friday night. My alarm goes off at 0615, I get up, drop the kids offContinueContinue reading “06.08.18 The Hurt BackBlast – Old Bay, eventually, at the Helm.”

Men, I haven’t Q’d a Saturday in quite some time, so I’m gonna make it up to you.  I think I have a good one put together for us.  We will frolic, we will mosey, we will laugh, we will cry.   I will show you all that the glorious Mutt AO has to offer.  NoContinueContinue reading “06/08/18 – The Hurt Pre-Blast – Old Bay at the helm.”

Short on time today = Short pre-blast.  We will do some stuff and some things tomorrow, and we will all get better. Some running, some coupons, shit, some of everything if there’s time. Come get smoked ITG with me and one of my new friends.  You know you want to! ~Old Bay

I don’t care if you call it the GlenBay show, or the OldRoss extravaganza, but you better sit up and take notice….GR and OB are at the helm for tomorrow’s Co-Q beat down at the Mutt.  The gloom looks tasty in the morning.  (Actually I haven’t even looked).   Per usual, we will do someContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast 05/10/18 The Extender @ the Mutt”

My hamstrings and boobies are still sore from the insanity this morning.  The BBlasts were some of the best I’ve seen.  I never would have thought that a brutal WO like that would bring the PAX so much pleasure.  That fact is really pretty disturbing, but this is a conversation for another day. Come outContinueContinue reading “Norton Commons Black-Ops Pre-Blast. 04.13.18 at 0530. Grinder and Old Bay at the helm.”

PAX: 16.  Country Boy, Glen Ross, Grinder, Left Eye, Geppetto, P.E.D., Spreadhsheet, Zartan, Insane-O, Zoolander, Pope, Buschhh, Nugget, Red Roof, OJ, Old Bay (Q). Does he have enough left in the tank for another spicy WO?  Will Captain Insane-O show up now that burpees have been mentioned?  How is it even possible that asparagus makesContinueContinue reading “Da Blender BB 03.14.18. OldBay at the helm.”

It’s possible I just wanted to ensure my Iron Horse eligibility.  It’s possible that I just wanted to see what it felt like to Q back to back days, or 3 times in 9 days .  It’s possible that I signed up after a few healthy glasses of brown water, and completely forgot that IContinueContinue reading “Blender Pre-Blast 03.14. OldBay at the helm.”

Ah Seneca…how I’ve missed you.  Your beautiful terrain, your sketchy bathroom, your PAX that doesn’t quit.  This is where it all started for me last year, and I wanted to capture a few elements of my first post back in June. PAX 16:  Double Down (R), Wham!, Diablo, Peach, Lil Jerry (R), Pope, Vincent (R),ContinueContinue reading “Bag O’ Wrenches BB – 03.13.18 – OldBay at the helm”
