Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your Garden Grow? Well, it’s easy. You get one dude (Husky) to ask another dude to lead (plant the seed). Then you reach out on your text thread to get the chatter going (ample water and sunshine). Follow that up with relentless asks from Glowsticks for HCs to showContinueContinue reading “12.16.25 BackBlast: The Cliffs @ The Garden”

https://f3louisville.slack.com/files/U91UTMJE8/F097R7A03JR/slt.pdf Your 2025/26 SLT (Shared Leadership Team) is on fire this year! So much good stuff happening around the region that your fellas have been compelled to be Freed to Lead with. Today’s shared beatdown was just one example. It’s no surprise that your boy Wax-On (current 2rdF Q), who’s been known for his creativeContinueContinue reading “7.29.25 Back Blast: SLT takeover day – A Bird’s eye view from the Hawk’s Nest”

The above photo has absolutely nothing to do with today’s beatdown…unless you’re missing your Chase, Paw Patrol toy car. If that’s the case, you can find it on a bench around the Egg Lawn. I’m going to venture to say that there was no better mumble chatter in The Gloom this morning than there wasContinueContinue reading “7.9.25 Back Blast: The Bridge @ Posh”

Toad reaches out to me on Monday asking if I could pick up the Q on this, the 4th of July, 249th year of our Independence. See, he’s been doing something special trying to line up Q’s on his Fridays for those that are in the 1000 post club. Not that I keep track butContinueContinue reading “7.4.25 Back Blast – The Chopper @ Veterans Memorial”

All you have to do is 1) show up. 2)ContinueContinue reading “Free Bird, Milkshake, All 3 F’s, Last One Best One Challenge”

K.I.S.S. Keep it Simple Stupid. I love these workouts because there is very little instruction. No big, fat wienkes to expose, no talking over Tony Malito to explain it over and again, no confusion. Just good ole fashioned hard work for the duration of our time together. The chicken came before the egg, where YHCContinueContinue reading “2.7.24 BackBlast: The Choppa at Vets”

We’re going to get after it plain and simple tomorrow ITG. The only downtime will be the brief amount of dancing around the seal we’ll do to get loose. From there your Bird will give you a giant K.I.S.S. Don’t know what that means? Show up to find out. Rest assured, you won’t regret smashingContinueContinue reading “3.7.25 Pre-Blast: The Chopper @ Vets – BigBird Q”

It’s gonna be a bit chilly at zero dark thirty in the morning. Your Bird doesn’t like to be cold so we’re going to warm up quick!

What I know and what I don’t… I don’t know what Big Lots has to do with Vets. Is it close? Is that an alternate parking place when the monument circle has succumbed to snowmageddeon? Is it just another of the many clever posts that Lockbox throws out; and in this case, when the wordContinueContinue reading “1.15.25 PreBlast: The Tank @ Vets – BigBird Q”

What it will be, what it ain’t… The Loco at The County will be crazy but there will be no burpees because of a train. There will be burpees though. There will be some running but not the usual amount for a Bird Q. There will be a playlist but it will not be BubbleContinueContinue reading “1.14.25 PreBlast: The Loco @ The County – BigBird Q”

Well…we won’t have Huskies pulling sleds…we won’t have balloons to go with our burpees…and there definitely will NOT be any penguins. But…what I will have is the EXACT playlist that Dauber will be laying down at The County tomorrow ITG. In case you are curious of the magic that is entailed and how you willContinueContinue reading “1.8.25 PreBlast: The Bridge @ Posh – BigBird Q”

There once was a bird. This bird was supposed to lead a flock into the unknown in an effort to achieve greatness and earn the weekend. This bird found himself to be possibly overextended with the prospect migrating his own flock of Eagles around town to compete in sport. Another bird, your Bird, was thenContinueContinue reading “11.16.24 PreBlast: The Avenger @ The Patriot – BigBird Q”

Sweet, simple & to the point: we’ll run around a couple of times to get warmed up. We’ll stretch out to get loose. Well DORA a bit and then play some four corners. We’ll finish up with some core before we circle up to thank the Sky Q for all of our blessings. No coupons.ContinueContinue reading “11.13.24 Pre Blast: The Tank @ Vets – BigBird Q”

I feel like this photo is an appropriate depiction of “out with the old and in with the new” pertaining to the current old man that’s been capably running this Friday site for well over a year. YHC has humbly been asked to assist in the monumental event of the passing of the torch, theContinueContinue reading “11.8.24 PreBlast: The Chopper @ Vets – passing the torch”

This is my favorite time of year! The cooler weather, the changing of the leaves…. Halloween! By far my favorite holiday! Maybe it’s the spookiness of it all. Maybe it’s being able to step into another character and be whomever you want, if only for a short while. Follow this up with one of myContinueContinue reading “10.31.24 BackBlast: The Agony @ The County – Halloween Ghost Q”

Entering underneath the bridge at Tyler Park is like stepping into another world, if only for 45 minutes. A world where pain and suffering are endured and made tolerable due to the fact that you ain’t going through it alone. Your brothers to the left and to the right of you also made the decisionContinueContinue reading “8.28.24 Pre Blast: The Bunker @ Tyler Park – BigBird Q”
