They say home is where you hang your hat. But in your Bird’s case, it’s where you come to Nest. Saturday mornings are where it’s at! No 9-5 work, a later start and slapping your weekend in the face with doing something tough with your buddies to start your day! Thanks to Dauber for invitingContinue reading “6.3.23 Pre Blast: The Nest @ The County – BigBird Q”

Didn’t sleep much last night. In part because I was really excited to show my wienke to The O fellers. But mostly because I didn’t know who would make it out. I mean you had the Fountain of Youth at The Boondocks, Huggies celebrating his birthday, Ed getting in his 32nd Q of the month,Continue reading “5.23.23 Back Blast: Bag of Wrenches @ The O, riginal”

Do you like to be motivated and inspired to push your hardest? I sure do and I’ll make sure you have the tools needed to come away feeling jacked up at this Tuesday’s hardest working AO! We’ll run, we’ll Bear Crawl, we’ll Bernie and we’ll reach for greatness! We will do all of these thingsContinue reading “5.23.23 – PreBlast: Bag ‘o Wrenches @ The O – BigBird Q”

Mom Suit’s the man! Dude’s been coming out for less than 9 months. He’s got 177 total posts, 88 this year and 15 of those…he had the Q. I’ve never witnessed the dude backing down from a challenge and when Glowsticks asked him to take on site Q duties at The Baptizer I would expectContinue reading “5.12.23 Back Blast: The Baptizer @ El Jardín”

Picture this: You’re at Golden Corral and on a very rare, once in a blue moon, everything is super fresh, right out of the oven. You look at the buffet and you load your plate up with a little bit of everything. On a separate occasion you go to an all you can eat iceContinue reading “5.12.23 Pre Blast: The Baptizer @ The Garden -BigBird Q”

This challenge is centered around the Back Blast. The winner of this challenge will win the soon to be coveted, Walt Whitman trophy for excellence in literary mastery and good with words. What is this Back Blast you speak of Bird? Well, you know what a Pre Blast is, right? Most of you participate andContinue reading “Walt Whitman Challenge”

I would like for you first to make some “you time” for reflection. During that reflection I want you to think about who you were before coming out to F3. Your moment could have been in 2017, after COVID, last week or anywhere in between. Try to think about how you felt about the personContinue reading “2023 Challenge Yourself challenge”

86,102 27 18 86,102 is the # of pull-ups your boys knocked out in 3 short months. 27 is the number of HIM that achieved the goal of at least 2023 pull-ups in the aforementioned three short months. And 18 is the number of men that were new to this challenge, eager to get afterContinue reading “BackBlast: 2023 Pull-up challenge”

About two weeks before the start of Extreme week, Furdays reached out and asked my thoughts on doing a Co-Q with my boy Worm for an evening workout at The County. A few things here: 1) I’m still a sucker for a call out. 2) Honored to be thought of, and 3) if it wasContinue reading “4.18.23 Back Blast: Extreme week @ The County – PM Beatdown”

You may have heard said, “early bird gets worm…” However, on this day it’s not as early (as a matter of fact, it’s in the evening…this evening…at 1830), and if you show up at The County, you don’t just get Worm you also get Bird! Your Q’s are fired up for Extreme Week and weContinue reading “4.18.23 Extreme Week! Evening BO @ The County – Worm & BigBird Co-Q”

If you like the Mutt you should come out. If you like raising your heart rate and making some good sweat, you should come out. If you like some profanity free Biggie, you should come out. If you like the fact that there will be no coupons but a little running, you should come out.Continue reading “4.11.23 PreBlast: The Rooster @ The Mutt – BigBird Q”

HODGEPODGE: A confused mixture. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve had the Q. I’m looking into my bag of tricks to amaze and delight for a solid 45 minutes. Who knows? It may even be 45:23 before time is called…We will be sure to move to get our heart rates up and open upContinue reading “2.28.23 Pre Blast: The Planetarium @ The Boondocks – BigBird Q”

Wednesday’s Parkland’s AO is the Bridge, however, we will have none of that. As a matter of fact to keep the suspense at a minimum, we will use the Egg Lawn, we will get in a set of 11’s, we will listen to a playlist that gets your Bird’s wings a flappin and we willContinue reading “1.11.23 Pre-Blast – The Bridge @Poshland: BigBird Q”

Tomorrow is National Spaghetti Day! I don’t know that it means anything for the beatdown but Yankovic always has some sort of Nation Day of…themed workout so I figure I’ll steal one out of his playbook. I’m looking forward to showing up for a big crowd and sharing a bit of what’s in the secretContinue reading “1.4.23 Pre Blast – The Range @ the Patriot: BigBird Q”

A star, a star, a wonderful bright shining star! Whiter and brighter than any by far…A star, a star, a star! Thursday’s the first day of December and we are officially into the Christmas season. And even though the Magi didn’t see the star until like, 13 days or so after the birth of Jesus,Continue reading “12.1.22 Pre Blast: The Big Kapowski @ Bayside – BigBird Q”

If you got out today and put in work after the most gluttonous holiday of the year…Good on you! You’re now better equipped to get beat down tomorrow. If you chose to take advantage of a day to sleep in…good on you for that as well. You will feel well rested and be ready toContinue reading “11.26.22 PreBlast: The Fog @ Posh – BigBird Q”

The Chopper ain’t just a vehicle for the road. It ain’t just an aerial transport method. Hell, it ain’t just an AO either. It’s an attitude! It’s for those mumble mouth bada$$es that choose to peel themselves out of the fart sack to commit to doing something tough together on a Friday to earn theContinue reading “11.18.22 PreBlast – The Chopper at Vets: BigBird Q”

Preface 1: 6 weeks is a long time to wait for a back blast. Apologies to those that have been anticipating it. I will tell you though I’ve been working on this one for a minute with the intention to do justice to our journey. Looking at the positive: All of us in Van 1Continue reading “Ragnar Bourbon Chase Relay – Van 1: Back Blast”

You know how when you were a kid you used to love having sleepovers at your friend’s house? As fun as it usually was, in the words of Judy Garland’s Dorothy, “there’s no place like home.” I feel like this in our little F3 Louisville Nation. I love getting out and about, reconnecting with andContinue reading “10.4.22 Back Blast: the Loco @ The County”

If WordPress allowed me to post a hype picture it would probably include something from Smokey and the Bandit with the caption “10-4 good buddy!” Since it doesn’t you will have to use your imagination and pretend that its here. Tomorrow ITG we will celebrate 10/4 by putting in some hard work, murdering some bunniesContinue reading “10.4.22 Pre Blast: The Loco @ The County – BigBird Q”

Handbook sweet talked me into this one. For your Bird, it don’t take much but I believe the two words “amazing” and “leader” were put together. I don’t know about that but how can one say no when found being held in such high regard? Besides, I was going somewhere on Thursday morning; why notContinue reading “9.22.22 Back Blast: Temple of Gloom @ The O”

A little behind on this one but I promised Lockbox I would get it out. The days are long, the years are short and in the F3 world two weeks is an eternity. That said, it’s strange how I struggle to remember what I had for lunch yesterday but I have no trouble remembering theContinue reading “9.9.22 Way Back Blast: The Chopper @ Vets”

Its funny how our F3 names are a piece of who we are. And sometimes, the more that time goes on the more you somehow relate and take ownership over your name. Viking knows what I’m talking about. Bunghole, Eye Booger, Mom Suit and Tramp Stamp…I can’t speak for you. And Toots…well, he still doesn’tContinue reading “9.22.22 Pre Blast – The Temple of Gloom at the O: BigBird Q”

Remember how when you were a single guy all that you had to worry about was yourself? It’s good for a while but then you end up searching for deeper meaning in your life. You then find the one that puts up with your shenanigans and marry up before she gets away. And then afterContinue reading “9.17.22 Pre Blast: The Nest @ The County – Cochran & BigBird Co-Q postiversary”

You run me right round baby right round, like the choppa blades right round round round! Now that we have that song stuck in your head come out to Vets tomorrow ITG as we’ll get a good look at the monument…again, and again and again. We’ll run, do some exercises and make sure that theContinue reading “9.9.22 Pre Blast – The Choppa @ Vets: BigBird Q”

No creative theme. No pic to entice you make it out (mostly because WordPress sux for me lately). No semi witty segue creating mystery and clues as of what to expect. Just know that YHC promises two things to you ITG. 1) We will work hard. And 2) you will leave feeling better than whenContinue reading “8.17.22 Pre Blast: The Range @ The Patriot – BigBird Q”

Insta Doodle and I have gotten pretty close over the last couple of months. The first time I met him was at a P’Ville beatdown. Immediately after the workout I go into my gym at work for some EC weightlifting before the workday and this dude comes up to me and says, “weren’t you justContinue reading “8.5.22 Back Blast: Wisteria @ Pleasantville”

Holy hell!! What’s that flying in at 0530 in the morning? Is that a DoodleBird?! Not sure what that is? We’ll…come to the place where false advertisement will be at an all time high. Where the most pleasant of all AO’s will not be pleasant at all. Where you will find that hybridization couldn’t haveContinue reading “8.5.22 Pre Blast: Wisteria @ Pleasantville – Instadoodle /BigBird Co-Q”

It was an Abacus Q on 7.18.22. When PAX gathered together, a touch before 0530, it didn’t take PK long to realize that everyone in attendance began their F3 journeys in 2017. To describe these PAX some might even throw out the acronym “OGs.” PK certainly did and felt moved to, at that moment, announceContinue reading “8.1.22 Back Blast: The Incubator @ Posh”
