Inspiration for this WO would come easy. This week I have been doing homework listening to REO Speedwagon, Styx & Loverboy on my ad free, 6 month free trial Apple Music membership in preparation for Saturday’s concert at Riverbend. At some point during reminiscing I remembered that I had the Q at Bayside. Bayside, beingContinueContinue reading “6.9.22 Back Blast: Big Kapowski @ Bayside”

Zack: Heyyyy BigBird! Bird: Yo Zack! What it do?! Zack: Did you know that Loverboy, Styx and REO Speedwagon are coming to Riverbend this Saturday? Also I heard you have the Q at Bayside on Thursday! You should give them a blast from the past! Bird: That’s a totally rad idea Zack! Duuudes! If yourContinueContinue reading “6.9.2022 Pre Blast: The Big Kapowski @ Bayside: BigBird Q”

This is one of the mottos that I live by said by one of my favorite characters of all time. Seeing as where this is only my second trip to Goshen and my first Q, I thought it appropriate to have a little fun with it. Don’t get me wrong, we’ll still work hard butContinueContinue reading “6.7.22 Pre Blast: BO @ Goshen – BigBird Q”

Look at our boy Stick Up graduating from Site Q to 1st F Q! It’s always good to see men accelerating, injecting the region with fresh ideas and objectives. One of the last things he would do as outgoing site Q of the Incubator would be to fill up the calendar to make for aContinueContinue reading “5.23.22 Back Blast: The Incubator @ Posh”

Calling an audible here. Subprime has found himself feeling a little under the weather and asked me to step in. So for those expecting a Subprime type of workout, never fear. He has shared his wienke with me and it promises some moseying, partner work with coupons and some sprints. We’re going to turn aContinueContinue reading “5.26.22 Pre Blast: The Agony @ The County – BigBird Q”

At one time or another hopefully we were all motivated to get out to the Abyss. It really is a fantastic site. You have a playground for pullups, a basketball court for guys like Pelican to tell you how awful you are at basketball, a portico to keep you dry, benches for dips and finally,ContinueContinue reading “5.16.22 Back Blast: The Motivator @ The Abyss”

I had so much Fun at this Guy’s workout last week that I thought I’d play it back and roll it out for the Poshies. Any other visitors from around F3 Louisville ready to start your week off on the right feet are also encouraged to show up along with your Friendly New Guys. PleaseContinueContinue reading “5.23.22 Pre Blast – The Incubator @ Posh: BigBird Q”

Weekend gone by too fast? Feeling down about already having to start a new week all over? Have no fear! I have the remedy. All you have to do is show up at the darkest of AO’s at 0530 with your coupon and tow and after 45 mins your mind will be transformed from….meh…to…LET’S GO!!!ContinueContinue reading “5.16.22 Pre Blast: The Motivator @ The Abyss – BigBird Q”

5/3, and after an Asian Zing (R) birthday celebration under the portico due to the wet conditions Hush Puppy accidentally on purpose forgot to grab the shovel flag. Since I was the last one to roll out I grabbed it with the intention to post at The County the following Tuesday to return it. AContinueContinue reading “5.10.22 Back Blast: The Loco @ The County”

Man!! Today has been unbelievable! Quite possibly the most beautiful day of the year! Tomorrow looks to bless us with much of the same. Well…you know how sometimes when you go through a thing that’s difficult, coming out the victor on the other side is all the more sweet? Come out with me tomorrow ITGContinueContinue reading “5.10.22 Pre Blast: The Loco @ The County – BigBird Q”

12…1,281…40,953 Nope. They’re not coordinates that will take you to a buried treasure. It’s not any kind of new mathematical equation that will earn you the Nobel prize. These numbers are far better than that. 12 is the number of dudes that reached at least 2022 pull-ups from January 1st – March 31st. 1,281 isContinueContinue reading “Back Blast: 2022 Pull Up Challenge”

Was really looking forward to this one. I found myself in a fortunate position where I could put the cherry on top of a couple of conquests. The pull-up challenge that started January 1st along with the Iron Horse challenge that would go all of the way through the end of this day, March 31st.ContinueContinue reading “3.31.22 Back Blast: The Moonshiner @ The Boondocks”

A whole lot to be happy about! The end of another month already! The end of a quarter…which means the end of the Pull Up and Iron Horse Challenges! A full week of Spring in the books! So we’re going to celebrate with some Summer! Bring yourselves, your gloves, your running shoes and a buddy.ContinueContinue reading “3.31.22 Pre Blast: The Moonshiner @ The Boondocks – BigBird Q”

I like to consider myself a bit of a nomad. As I meet new dudes it often comes up in conversation on where my home AO is. Of course I’m a County boy through and through and have immense love for all my fellas in the GCA. But the second thing I will always sayContinueContinue reading “3.23.22 Back Blast: The Tank @ Vets”

How time it does fly…Since the beginning of the year I’ve only been to The Abyss a few times and hadn’t Q’d at all. About 6 weeks ago Harbaugh was looking to fill up the calendar so I decided to have him sign me up for this one so I could check it off myContinueContinue reading “3.21.22 Back Blast: The Motivator @ The Abyss”

I’m every job that must be done there is an element of fun. Just like Mary Poppins coming in with the East wind, your Bird will be swooping in to give you a spoonful of a beatdown that will be the medicine to help you be better equipped to take on your hump day. NoContinueContinue reading “3.22.22 Pre Blast: The Tank @ Vets – BigBird Q”

Usually making a left hand turn is synonymous with something bad or having made a turn for the worse. Tomorrow ITG left hand turns will be a good thing as the hard work we produce will prepare us to dominate our Monday, setting the tone for the rest of the week. So get up, turnContinueContinue reading “3.20.22: The Motivator @ The Abyss – BigBird Q”

This was my first time getting the nod at Friday’s Baptizer workout. The Garden Goons know how to bring it so I wanted to make sure I put together a wienke stiff enough to meet their expectations. This would also be the day after St. Patty’s day and round 1 of the NCAA Tourney soContinueContinue reading “3.18.22 Back Blast: The Baptizer @ El Jardín”

1,609 meters…1,760 yards…5,280 feet…No matter how you spin it, it’s all equivalent to a mile. You might run it in 6:30 or 8:20 or 10:45. But on this day it will take us a lot longer than that. This will be the longest mile you will have run and at 0615 the Grim Reaper willContinueContinue reading “3.18.22 Pre Blast: The Baptizer @ The Garden – BigBird Q”

Friday afternoon, 3.4, I ask Frosty if there is a pre Hurt ruck. His response a short, sweet and to the point, “0600.” He would later say that it was likely going to be just the two of us. All good with me. I was immediately looking forward to some one on one, quality FrostyContinueContinue reading “3.5.21 Back Blast: The Hurt @ The Mutt”

Come out to The Mutt tomorrow ITG and we’ll be sure to say hey to Carl at least 11 times! We won’t be needing the cache of coupins but definitely bring your running shoes. Your Bird will do his best to work over all of your muscle groups and make your decision to come outContinueContinue reading “3.5.22 Pre Blast: The Hurt @ The Mutt – BigBird Q”

As I understand it, the “M,” in F3 lingo, represents the Most important relationship in our lives…our Wives. They are our partners in crime. They are our best friends. They are what makes us a better man. They understand that we are all little boys at heart and need to go play with our friends.ContinueContinue reading “March “M” Challenge”

Dem Country boys are so inviting and hospitable. They are so kind as a matter of fact that there was a lot “gentlemen” talk even before 0530 hit. You know, I had a feeling that today was going to be a good day and the energy that was out there before I even got toContinueContinue reading “3.1.22 Back Blast: The Max @ Bayside”

About a month ago I made sure to secure a spot out at Bayside before they were all gobbled up by IHC participants. Not too long after that Site Q extraordinaire Slide Rule educated me on the fact that March is Women’s History Month and since the Q would be the first day of MarchContinueContinue reading “3.1.22 Pre Blast: The Max @ Bayside – BigBird Q”

0555 and as I pull in to the lot at The County in preparation for a pre Nest run there are several PAX outside of their cars gearing up for a ruck. To my surprise, two of em are Jewel and Worm. Worm wastes no time in asking where my ruck is and says somethingContinueContinue reading “2.26.22 Back Blast: The Nest @ The County”

I’m taking it back to the old school cuz I’m an old fool whose so cool (well, maybe…). If you wanna get down Imma show you the way to get the best start to your Saturday. I’ll make no mystery about it. We’ll get in some Tabata, some running, some pull-ups and some other suchContinueContinue reading “2.26.22 Pre Blast: The Nest @ The County-BigBird Q”

I always like to have a plan. But believe it or not this was the first time ever I intentionally didn’t write up my wienke in preparation the night before. If I’m honest, it seemed a little weird and left me feeling kind of nervous. But Glen Ross taught me long ago you can literallyContinueContinue reading “2.11.22 Back Blast: Pleasantville”

0525 and there are tailgaters in the lot with headlights still aglow waiting for this epic game of entirely offense to get underway. As 0530 hits, disclaimer and Who-Deys given…even from a Steelers fan who wore a Bengals hat that barely fit his freshly shorn bald head. Instead of the National Anthem we would comeContinueContinue reading “2.9.22 Back Blast: The Foundry @ The County”
