YHC at the Agony tomorrow unless American Airlines decides to cancel my flight home today.  Bring a coupon just in case.  A bit of running and no tabata.   Full body routine and some joint friendly strengthening.  (Does not mean easy!) #MTCGA

Looking forward to making my first appearance out to Goshen and meeting some of the newer PAX and some OGs. Coupons and gloves will be needed. For those looking forward to Iron Pax, this one will be good practice! Don’t shy away from the challenge. Modify as necessary. Your brothers will also be there toContinue reading “PB 5-24-2022 BO – Goshen”

I was glad that Meter Maid asked me to Q a Foundry Workout.  It has been way too long and the time was right.  I was getting a little lazy with certain things going in my life i.e. not being the best person that I could be, not putting out my best effort, etc.  WhenContinue reading “BB 5-18-2022 The Foundry at the County – DeVitto Q”

Now that my running season has taken a slight pause, I am eager to get back out to the Foundry to lead a hard, yet effective strengthening routine. This one will be a grinder, but relatively joint-friendly i.e. non-running. That does not mean easy! Come on out and enjoy the comfortable temps in the morning!Continue reading “5-18-2022 The Foundry at the County – DeVitto Q”

No coupons necessary for tomorrow. We will play on the playground with an assortment of exercises followed with some running. Thus, it would be a good idea to bring some gloves and some running shoes. SYTIG!

There will be some March Madness at the Minutemen tomorrow. So, bring a coupon and get strapped in for 40 minutes of hell. We will cover a little bit of ground and enjoy the finer parts of the LaGrange Town Square. SYITG!

A bit of insanity might be in store at the LOCO tomorrow morning. We will have a rock block of The Power Station (hint?) and we even might introduce a couple of new exercises and maybe a couple that we have not been performed for awhile. There will be running, there will be pushing, thereContinue reading “PB 2-8-2022 The Loco at the County”

It seems like it rains every Thursday at the Agony!  Despite the rain, 4 HIMs braved an annoying light rain and got some good, up temp work accomplished.   We also learned that the Beatles first hit “ I want to hold your hand” was recorded on this date in 1964.   Thus, the Beatles was theContinue reading “BB 2-3-2021 The Agony at the County – DeVitto Q”

February is finally here and is greeting us with a bit of a warm spell – at least for a couple of days. We will do a little bit of coupon work and a whole lot of moving. Running shoes are a must. Bring an FNG. SYITG.

Great time to get out to the Foundry tomorrow for a circuit-type heavy workout. There will be minimal running but lots of movement. Rain will be out of here with temps in 50s. Bring a coupon. SYITG.

Who does not love the day before Christmas? Being off work, enjoying the time with friends and family, etc. all add to the eager anticipation of Christmas, the day our savior came into the world. The weather was un-Christmas-like, but who could complain with 50 degree temperatures! I am not sure if the HIMs whoContinue reading “BB 12.24.2021 The Gladiator at the Abyss”

Santa will be swooping into the Abyss tomorrow morning as he makes his trip around the globe. He plans to bring some mad beats so that can make room for all the treats that you will eat over the next week (or day). Speaking of treats, there will be doughnuts and coffee after. Trust me,Continue reading “12.24.2021 The Gladiator at the Abyss”

 Wherever you were for this morning’s post on this Veterans Day, you were not the timid, you were a man in the arena.  We ended with this favorite quote of mine from Teddy Roosevelt… “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or whereContinue reading “Back-Blast: The Agony at the County – 11.11.2021 – Little Jerry Veteran’s Day Q”

16 Pax were in attendance for this pre-race primer.  The attendees were…. Big Bird Widlflower Little Jerry (R) Double Down (R) Bulletin (R) Backflop Valdez Jolly Rancher Captain Crunchberry Virginia Slims Dauber Kitty Litter Gisele Trebek Abacus (Q) DeVitto (Q) Although it was not a typical Agony beatdown, the purpose was to get our bodiesContinue reading “BB for 11.4.21 The Agony at the County”

This Q will be a pre-race primer for the races this weekend. It will include some flexibility, some core strengthening and some run drills.  Focus will be on run and exercise technique. No coupons but gloves are a good idea. Lace’em up!

I have not been to the Foundry in awhile …. And now I know why I miss it.  I love the heavy workouts and they are ones that you can do anywhere.  What’s even better is when you have few good HIMs who can join you for a beatdown!  This week must be monsoon weekContinue reading “BB 9/22/21 The Foundry at the County – DeVitto Q”

An old-fashioned grinder PT session is in store at the County tomorrow. Bring a coupon and gloves. We might be under the Portico for the majority of the time, but we might venture out into the monsoon as well. SYITG! – DeVito

Asian Zing has the Agony Q tomorrow at the County.  The guy has been working his Axx off lately.  He is ready to bring an epic beat down.  So what are you waiting for? Get out to the County at 5:30 and bring a coupon. And a sad clown. SYITG.

Rabbit hunting starts (and hopefully ends) tomorrow. Bring coupons and gloves. We will be on the green space. We will do a brief warm-up to allow for time for the workout. (My guess is that it may go past 6:15). If you need more time to warm-up, then get there a bit earlier. This mightContinue reading “PB 9-9-21 Iron Pax Week 1 The Agony (at the County)”

The suspense is over. Iron Pax is here! (Woof….) Come out to the County at 5:30am tomorrow for the Week 0 workout. No coupons, but there will be copious amounts of Merkins and Running (about 3.25 miles of running if doing the non-modified version). I will have the workouts (modified and non-modified versions) on theContinue reading “PB 9/2/2021 Iron Pax Week 0 – The Agony at the County”

Installment #4 of Q School week at the Agony turned out to be an adventure around the County.  Temps were a bit tepid but bearable (and even if they were not, we would have managed because that’s what we do – rain or shine, hot or cold – “it don’t matter”).  We called the time,Continue reading “BB 8/26/21 The Agony at the County – DeVitto Q”

Day #4 of Q School Week at the County. Weather: A balmy 72 with low humidity and 0% rain which will be much different than last Thursday! We will walk through the SOP for a well-oiled Q. (Should be a 1st for yours truly). Seriously, hope we will all gain confidence in volunteering to Q.Continue reading “PB – 08.26.2021 – DeVitto – Q School at the Agony”

Do something random and get out to the County tomorrow! Randomness abounds with potted plants, rucks, sandbags, coupons, wheelbarrow etc.  Lots of toys to choose from for the chosen one! SYITG!

The Agony was a bit eery this morning.   It kind of reminded one of an old Friday the 13th type movie with the fog and dampness.  One thing was sure – the humidity was in full effect.  This was going to be a sweat-fest.   HIMs that took part …. Scratch and Dent Ashley  AsianContinue reading “BB 5.27.2021 DeVitto Q The Agony at the County”

Roll-out to the County for a run heavy, core strengthening routine manana. We might play King of the Hill for a warm-up (he, he). Might be a good way to stretch those legs after the Holy Roller beatdown from the Heavy. Maybe a bit of rain but you will be drenched any way. Hyped forContinue reading “PB 5-27-21 DeVitto Q – The Agony at the County”

This was my debut at the Patriot. What better way to start out than leading a workout at a place where you have not been. I heard great things about the uniqueness of this site and it did not disappoint. The scene was set with the flag already placed by Focker prior to his departureContinue reading “5.17.2021 BB The Minuteman at the Patriot”

Tax day! Getting ready to pay your taxes at the Patriot manana. No refunds for this one. Bring a coupon and running shoes. There might be a hefty dose of back abs and your heart might be breaking (a touch) at this one. SYITG. – DeVitto

I have not been to the Boondocks. However, I gotta say that the birds seem to chirp louder, the stars appear to shine brighter and the moon appeared to be quite majestic! (It was a full moon, btw). It certainly is my 2nd favorite AO behind the County 🙂 Suffice to say, it was aContinue reading “BB – 4/27/2021 – The Planetarium at the Boondocks”

Derby week is finally here! Next to Christmas, it could be the best week in the year. Azaleas blooming, birds singing, stars shining, etc. It should be a great morning to see the stars at the Planetarium and weather will be pristine. We will move for 40 minutes. We will do some running – AYPContinue reading “Pre-Blast -4/27/2021- The Planetarium at the Boondocks – DeVitto Q”

11 fine HIMs came out in the misty morning for a nice, little heavy beatdown. I love the HEAVY as it is great change-up into a more strengthening sort of session with a touch of cardio. We started out with the usual disclaimers, did a head-count, and got into COP which included the following: Side-straddleContinue reading “Back-blast 4-14-2021 DeVitto Q at the Foundry”
