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

I love a Saturday Q. It’s a bit later than throughout the week. Most everyone is off of work so one doesn’t have the daily grind on their mind. And In The Gloom turns a bit into “In the Dawn.” In my experience, it’s an environment that’s more conducive for a bit of fun andContinueContinue reading “4.13.19 Back Blast for The Nest @ The County”

YHC has been doing a lot of running lately. For tomorrow’s beatdown we’re going to keep the running a bit light. But we will still keep it all in the family and maybe use a past tense of the word. Oh, and I plan on bringing one of the girls out. SYITG

After a full year of posts and 15 total Q’s under my belt, I figure I got this thang figured out. I can put a workout together with relative ease and I usually don’t have to pull my wienke out anymore. I like to incorporate a bit of BigBird avianallity into my workouts, try toContinueContinue reading “3.27.19 BB for The Bridge at Posh #F3mentalbattle”

Did you ever think about the timing around why things happen? Do you then go on to think, perhaps it is just where I am supposed to be at that moment doing what I am supposed to be doing and with the people I am meant to be with? I raised my hand to QContinueContinue reading “3.27.19 #The Bridge-Pre Blast #F3MentalBattle”

When the DD Challenge rolled out, I wanted to make sure I met that challenge. Then it would turn into trying to hit every AO at least once. From there, I found myself getting out at least 5 days/week and it became not just about the challenge but more about being JOMO if I skippedContinueContinue reading “3.12.19 BackBlast-Bag of Wrenches at The O”

The O would become my regular AO a year ago. So much has evolved in F3 Louisville since then and as a result, I personally have evolved, continuing to work on the best possible version of myself. This will be my VQ at the site I consider to be on such hallowed grounds. I’d beContinueContinue reading “3.12.19 Pre-Blast BOW at The O”

Alexa has done a nice job getting the Heavy started at The County. Between him and Bulletin, they have laid down some solid free weight workouts, keeping us moving and working the entire time. When I signed up to Q a Heavy, I knew I would have my work cut out for me to continueContinueContinue reading “2.13.19 BB The Heavy at The County”

It’s all a matter of perspective. Looking at the forecast for Thursday I was cursing Mother Nature. C’mon! I got the Q! How could you dump rain on what I had planned? But you know what? It was almost 60 degrees at O dark thirty in the morning…in February! I take that back Mother Nature.ContinueContinue reading “2.7.19 BB for The Agony at The County”

You may need one of these for Thursday’s workout. If you don’t have one, you might at least want to bring a towel for the ride home. But definitely don’t bring your rubber ducky. Mother Nature might confiscate it. But do bring your willingness to work and a “can do” attitude. Not sure if myContinueContinue reading “2.7.19 PB The Agony at The County”

Alright PAX! February is the month for love and I have a challenge for you should you choose to accept it. Allow me to preface with a story. About 6 weeks ago, I was writing a Back Blast from a workout that I had Q’d. I don’t know about you, but I put a lotContinueContinue reading “February “M”Challenge”

1/28, checked the calendar and…Shoot! No one scheduled for The Nest at The County this coming Saturday. As the site Q there, I’ve been spoiled for the last 6 weeks having been fully booked up with a group of fine HIM that killed it from week to week. Well, it’s about time I step upContinueContinue reading “2.2.19 BB at The Nest-Groundhog Day”

Double Down’s the man! I’ve posted where he’s posted, we’ve partnered up quite a few times and during COT I’ve found myself next to him enough times to notice how strange it is that with out planning, I end up on his right or left. When the DD challenge rolled out, I wanted to doContinueContinue reading “1.31.19 BB for The Big Kapowski”

I don’t know about you but for me this past week was a rough one with the weather and cold temperatures. Many of us still said “pashaw” to you old man winter and still made it out ITG to continue to get better. Whether the sun comes out Saturday morning and the groundhog sees shadowContinueContinue reading “2.2.19 PB The Nest @ The County”

Eggs? Milk? Maybe a can opener? These are some of the things you might borrow from your neighbor. Your friendly neighbor BigBird from The County would like to offer up a pectoral blast to the Bayside boys borrowed from my neighbor from the Vets, Worm. After he visited The County on 1/15, and unleashed hisContinueContinue reading “1.31.19 PB for The Big Kapowski at Bayside”

Work Hard…was in my mind overnight. 0415 alarm sounds. Hit snooze. Rinse and repeat 3 times. Check the temp: 24 degrees. Gonna have to warm up the PAX pretty quick. Pull myself out of bed to get ready. Staying at the in-laws all week due to home renovations and my timing is off. Show upContinueContinue reading “1.24.18 Extender at The Mutt BB”

We will work. It will be hard. We will put in some Hard Work! But at 0615 you will feel better and be ready to own the day! SYITG

To those 5 HIM that made it out for a Beastmode Monday morning workout…on 12/10…, my apologies on getting this out so late. And by late, I mean unacceptably late. As the workweek got underway, I succumbed to the demands of work, family, a brief moment of quiet time in the evening and rinse andContinueContinue reading “12.10.18 Silo at N Posh BB”

Has your weekend flown by? Hard to believe that it is already Monday again? Does the thought of going back to work so soon make you wanna say a bad word? Come out to the Silo Monday morning and let BigBird give you something for a case of the Mondays. It’ll be guaranteed to beContinueContinue reading “12.10.18 The Silo at N. Posh-Beastmode: Pre Blast”

When Snow Day asked me to Q about a month back, I was eager to say yes and excited to lead at the refurbished Veterans park. (And yes, it is as cool as you can imagine!) I have to tell you, as the day came closer I was nervous. Vets always has such a strongContinueContinue reading “11.30.18 The Chopper at Vets Back Blast”

Have you Heard about the Word? If you haven’t Heard come for a beatdown and get enlightened! Oh, a word is a gem, or a stone, or a song, Or a flame, or a two-edged sword; Or a rose in bloom, or a sweet perfume, Or a drop of gall is a word. You mayContinueContinue reading “11.30 Pre Blast Chopper at Vets”

What was I thinking?! Taking the Q after an Abacus Ruck? Well, truth be told, I wasn’t. And it’s my opinion that sometimes that can be a good way to approach life. In the moment, taking challenges as the come up and learning a bit about one’s self and what you are capable of. LetContinueContinue reading “11.17.18 BO at The County”

What I love about this group is you never know what to expect when you show up for a workout. Now when you Q, you at least you know what beatdown you are getting ready to hand out to the PAX. But still, you don’t know how it’s going to unfold or what dudes youContinueContinue reading “10.13.18 BB The County BO”

For those of you looking forward to an Abacus beat down, Mick Jagger said it best, “You can’t always get what you want.” But if you come out tomorrow and let BigBird work you over, you might just find…you get what you need!

First off, apologies gents for the delay in getting this out. You HIM went through it with me on Saturday and it was a very ungentlemanly-like thing to do to wait this long. Now that that’s out of the way, let me get on with the courteous and honorable. I had not planned on leadingContinueContinue reading “The County BO Back Blast 9.29.18”

Gentleman: A chivalrous, courteous and honorable man. (Read aloud and in a British accent)Come out to The County and I will gladly extend to you a beatdown of epic proportions and will leave you feeling as though you have already won the day! I will also demonstrate that chivalry lives on!

One year ago Abacus was in full on HL mode. It’s hard to say just how many men he brought to F3 since he joined early September of 2017. But I know of at least two. Myself and Cochran. First post: 9.16.2017. And although, for me, it’s debatable whether his communication skills or my listeningContinueContinue reading “9.15.18 Black Ops at the County-Back Blast”

Could you be mine? Won’t you be mine? Please won’t you be…my neighbor! When Old Bay was looking for someone to Q the Blender for this day I felt an obligation to step outside of my comfort zone. I’ve posted at the Mutt a few times before. I have Q’d a total of times lessContinueContinue reading “8.29.18 Blender Back Blast at Le Mutt”

Hello there neighbors! Won’t you come out to Le Mutt ITG at the Blender and join me for a workout? We’ll wake up, get out of the fart sack, and we’ll exchange our outlook on the day as we would exchange dress shoes for tennies. Or as we would exchange a blazer for a comfortableContinueContinue reading “8.29.18 Blender Pre Blast”
