9.21.18 Ruck Training Back Blast

Just like yesterday’s pre-blast, I plan to keep this simple as well. Sometimes I spend to much time overthinking a workout when most of the time the simplest ideas get the best results.

ToG Pre-blast – 8.16.18

McAfee blends up the Mutt – Back Blast – 8.8.18

After a brutal Iron PAX workout yesterday, the Mutt crew might have thought this morning was going to be a little easier.

The Silo Back Blast – 7.30.18

After a long day on the lake yesterday, I woke up this morning feeling quite sore.

As I pulled up theContinueContinue reading “The Silo Back Blast – 7.30.18”

Inaugural Crucible Backblast – 7.17.18

A couple of weeks ago I was approached about starting a Black Ops site near the Poshlands and the County on Tuesdays due to the increasing number of PAX posting on Tuesdays.
