Is it a left? Is it a right?…More than likely it’s a South Paw left but you’ll have to roll the dice to find out. Come to The Nest ITG at 0700 and and see if your luck has run out or is just beginning. Either way…YOU’LL GET BETTER! We’ll do a modest amount ofContinueContinue reading “10.5.19 Pre-Blast for The Nest@ The County: Rocky Q”

So this is how it all went down: Fungi, the site Q at The County’s newest BO location needed Qs. I hadn’t Q’d there yet and I love me some Fungi, so sign me up! In wienke preparation, I scrolled through my phone and found a saved workout that I hadn’t yet broken out yetContinueContinue reading “9.26.19 Back Blast-PWVFD BO”

I like to keep the mystery alive for my Q’s leaving just the right amount of details combined with a touch of, “what does Bird have up his sleeve for this one?” For tomorrow, it will likely be my last post before leaving on a week long vacation so…I want to make it tough. ThatContinueContinue reading “9.26.19 PeWee Valley FD Pre-Blast: BigBird Q”

This was my Q so I’m allowed to preach, right? Well let me say this: If you’ve been out for a while and you are comfortable at your home AO, go visit some other places. What’s better, if you have some Q experience, share some of yourself, your personality and creativity with other dudes. NoContinueContinue reading “9.17.19 Back Blast-Bag of Wrenches @ The O”

Wonky: Crooked; Off center; askew; shaky or unsteady; not functioning correctly; faulty Our Four Corners will be an almost perfect square and will be none of those things above.

I’ll proveContinueContinue reading “9.17.19 PreBlast-BoW@The O-BigBird Q”

I do love a theme. What’s more, I do love a good song to go with it. Rewind, if you will, about three months ago: Driving home from work I hear a gem of a song on 91.9 WFPK titled, “I’m So Glad” by Cream (https://youtu.be/L3GIQ86eu6c). I’m thinking to myself, “this will be a perfectContinueContinue reading “9.12.19 The Extender at Le Mutt- Back Blast-BigBird-Q”

At some point on Friday, Airplane and Alexa decided that a workout would be organized for Labor Day morning. Alexa being the HIM he is stepped up to grab it. Now it was just a matter of whether or not it would be the Iron PAX challenge or a regular workout. Consensus would be thatContinueContinue reading “9.2.19 Black Ops at The County-Amelia and BigBird Co-Q”

School’s been back in session for just over a week and already The GOAT has managed to come home and give me a case of the Bird flu. On 8/21, as I was day three into feeling the full effects of my now seasonal cold, WILDflower reaches out to me at 1615 and asks, “howContinueContinue reading “8.22.19 The Agony @ The County Back Blast”

ag·o·ny /ˈaɡənē/ Learn to pronounce noun extreme physical or mental suffering. Come to The County tomorrow and we’ll take a master class on the definition. We will run just a bit. We will use some coupons and exert an appropriate amount energy to equip us to dominate the day. SYITG

I take this F3 Thang very seriously. Now, you might be saying to yourself, “yeah right Bird! If that’s the case, what takes you so long to get your Back Blasts out?” Well, I’ll give you a few reasons: 1) Your Bird suffers from writers block. 2) I think and reflect over several days aboutContinueContinue reading “8.10.19 End of Q School Week Back Blast-The Nest @ The County”

On Saturday, 7.27, As I was on the long drive home from a vacation on Hilton Head island, I had a lot of time to think and reflect. I was the driver, my hard-of- hearing mother-in-law was the copilot, and everyone else in tow was engrossed in their devices. Suffice it to say, there wasContinueContinue reading “7.28.19 Black Ops@ The County-Back Blast”

It was June 26th. Zartan had the Q at the Blender. He had put us through a so terrible it was good, progressive beatdown all around the campus. At COT, he called the group out about stepping up to Q. He had an audience of about 25 PAX with the hopes that he could getContinueContinue reading “7.18.19 The Extender @ The Mutt-Back Blast”

Have you heard??

It’s been a while since I’ve Q’d at the County on a Tuesday. History shows over the last several months that Tuesday’s bring out the largest #’s. I’d be lying if I told you that YHC wasn’t a little bit nervous about putting together a beatdown suitable to accommodate a large crowd of HIM eagerContinueContinue reading “7.9.19 The Loco @The County-Back Blast”

Come out at 0530 and train your body and your mind. You will leave better for it and be ready to crush the day! SYITG

Once again Mother Nature had me guessing. After a dicey weather week, Saturday would be no different. I had been obsessively checking the forecast on Saturday eve like Rain Man needing to be in front of the tv at Wheel of Fortune time. No choice but to prepare two different workouts. As I peeled myselfContinueContinue reading “6.22.19 The Nest @The County: Back Blast”

A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. BUT TODAY IS NOT THIS DAY! An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down. BUT TODAY IS NOT THIS DAY! On this day we are all KingsContinueContinue reading “6.22.19 Pre-Blast: The Nest @ The County”

Those Shelby County Boys know how get after it and push each other. When Sadie asked if I’d pick up the Q this day, there was little thought I’d have to give to HC for two reasons. 1: The aforementioned and 2: It was rumored that the Ghost Flag was there. A bit about heContinueContinue reading “5.16.19 The Big Kapowski @Bayside Back Blast”

N Posh has been ever evolving. It started as N Posh, shortly thereafter, given the name The Silo. Then due to the site Q, the appropriately named addition “Beast Mode” Mondays was given and once more changed and emerged as “Run Heavy” Monday’s. You see, it may be cliche, but change is the spice ofContinueContinue reading “5.13.19 The Silo @ N Posh Back Blast”

I’ll be headed out to Bayside ITG on Thursday. I’ll be bringing the HIIT with me and we won’t stop moving until you are saved by the bell at 0615. Come out and Get Better!!

I have an equation for you: Beast Mode + Run Heavy + A-Olympics training = Terror? Excitement? You be the judge but regardless we will work hard, get better and start our week off saying, “a case of the Mondays?” Pshaw! Let’s own the week! SYITG!!

I love me some County Boys! We have a solid, core group of guys that just keeps getting bigger, we travel and we are always there for each other. When I Q away from my home AO, I never campaign to get guys out. Especially on a Saturday. You see, I am the Site QContinueContinue reading “4.5.19 Derby Day beat down at The Fog-Back Blast”

Last year at this time I was a nervous wreck! I was getting ready for my first Q. I had been HL’d in to making it happen but I felt like I wasn’t ready. I mean, do we ever feel absolutely “ready” to jump outside of our comfort zone and lead a group of menContinueContinue reading “5.4.19 The Fog at The Poshlands PB”

So I’m sitting here in my car, in the rain, following a Fungi beat down at PV. You see I have to make time to get this BB out before he gets his out. Reason being: he is a HIM that always seems to be “on top of it” and I have no doubt youContinueContinue reading “4.26.19 Pleasantville at Wisteria BB”

If you made it out for last year’s Passion Ruck hosted by Skid and Kilo, you were there to witness a pretty neat experience. It was so impactful as a matter of stating, that Skid decided to do a 2nd annual, repeat performance. I will spare you the details of how I became involved toContinueContinue reading “4.19.19 April Passion Ruck Skid and BigBird Co-Q Back Blast”

We will likely get some water at 0530 but it will be crystal clear that if you give me 100% of your…, I’ll gladly return the favor. SYITG
