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,ContinueContinue 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 whereContinueContinue 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 bodiesContinueContinue 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 weekContinueContinue 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 mightContinueContinue 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 theContinueContinue 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,ContinueContinue 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.ContinueContinue 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  AsianContinueContinue 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 forContinueContinue 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 departureContinueContinue 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 aContinueContinue 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 – AYPContinueContinue 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-straddleContinueContinue reading “Back-blast 4-14-2021 DeVitto Q at the Foundry”

Come out tomorrow for a full body, strengthening session with limited running. If you have been having some joint pain, then this one will grease up those joints. Bring a coupon and gloves and an FNG or 2. We will work everything and will move for 45 minutes! Lots of different exercises tomorrow, some newContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast 4-14-21 for The Foundry at The County”

Shake off the cobwebs from St. Patty’s day and keep the party train going. March Madness starts tomorrow and, despite the lack of local teams in the tourney, we will add some excitement and a bit of trivia. Coupons, gloves, and running shoes will be a great idea. Rain gear not necessary (hehe)…… SYITG -ContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast: 3/18/21 The Agony at the County”

Could not have asked for better weather for this one! Of course, we had some REAL HIMs do a BO ruck before the Q.  Kudos to those who participated in that.

If you end up tilting at the Poker Ruck tonight, then I bet you can get your mojo back tomorrow morning at the Nest.  Sunny and 75 is the forecast.  I could be blind to the fact that it might be a touch on the cold side,  but don’t let the turn you into aContinueContinue reading “2.20.21 The Nest at the County”

I apologize for this BB being a day late! We had 5 solid PAX come out for a stroll around the County: Yankovic, Brown Water, Holy Roller, Gisele, and yours truly. Our warm-up included side straddle hops (15), toy soldiers (15), grass grabbers (10), and then some stretching consisting of DD, cobra, right knee/right shoulderContinueContinue reading “BB DeVitto The Foundry at the County 1.13.2021”

Come on out tomorrow as we will go around the County with yours truly. Weather will be warm(er) but you won’t have to worry about having to warm-up! Bring a coupon, gloves, and a bit of humor. 90s Rock-N-Roll playlist is ready! SYITG!

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Come out to the County tomorrow for some Christmas cheer. It will be warm – trust me. A good, old-school grinder workout is in order. Bring a coupon and gloves. SYITG!

Legs, Legs, Legs!   It’s leg day and we will be working…. OUR LEGS (and a bit of core. We might do some back abs as a shout out to LePew)!  Bring gloves and coupon/ruck and the shortest shorts you can find.   Just ask Alexa for some shorts if you don’t have any.  GQ might haveContinueContinue reading “11-24-20 DeVitto Pre-Blast– The Planetarium at the Boondocks”

Although it was a bit damp, 6 men braved the not so cool and wet conditions in honor of Veteran’s Day. We had 2 veterans in our midst – Launch Pad and Colonel Klink. (Gentlemen, thank you both for your service). Other PAX in attendance included Gisele, Brown Water, and Dauber. After a brief warmupContinueContinue reading “11/11 BB: DeVitto Veteran’s Day Q at The Foundry”

Tomorrow, we will honor the blood, sweat, and tears that our Veterans have sacrificed to protect our great nation and allow us the freedoms that we have.   We will suffer together but we will pick up each other and battle through it.  The weather will be great – rainy and cool.  Bring a coupon andContinueContinue reading “11/11 – Veteran’s Day PreBlast – DeVitto Q at The Foundry”

On a nice Saturday in the County, 19 souls came out for a dance with Dora. We started with the usual warm-up of side-straddle hops, toy soldiers, grass grabbers, etc. and then moved into the workout. Everyone had a partner and performed the following as a team: 50 burpees – one partner did burpees untilContinueContinue reading “BB DeVitto Q at the County, 9.26.2020”
