Nothing fancy here. No show to put on. Just wear your black and orange, lace up your running shoes and prepare to take a tour around the most pleasant of neighborhoods where we’ll make some stops for some burpees and squats and a whole bunch of Who-Deys!! SYITG!!

I wasn’t supposed to have the Q tomorrow and thus would not have had a Q for Super Bowl week for what will hopefully prove to be, for this Cincinnati native, the best in Super Bowl history. Since I have now been called up, we are going to prepare like professionals, hungry for one lastContinueContinue reading “2.9.22 Pre Blast: The Foundry @The County – BigBird Q”

I have never been one to participate a bunch with pre workout ruck events. Maybe in part because when I do get out before a workout it’s to log some running miles. Perhaps the other part is because on Saturday mornings I choose to hold on to every last bit of sleep and stay inContinueContinue reading “2.5.22 Back Blast: The Ruiner @ The O”

All work and some play will make the PAX better equipped to take ownership over their weekends. It’s going to be low to mid teens ITG so to make sure we don’t end up like Jack we will stay moving. Heck! By 0705 you’ll forget that it’s cold outside! No coupons needed but definitely bringContinueContinue reading “2.5.22 Pre Blast: The Ruiner @ The O – BigBird Q”

After a great time at the awards banquet Friday night, 0515 came pretty darn quick. I say 0515 because 1) I would need to hit the snooze at least 3 times and 2) adequate time was needed to put on all of my layers and be sure to pack extra layers to change my suitContinueContinue reading “1.29.22 Back Blast: The Nest @ The County”

Looking to explode my wienke of a mixd bag of trix upon all who are looking to come out, stay warm and get better! Make sure to bring running shoes, layers you can shred and a hunger to dominate the weekend…oh… and bring your coupins. We’ll use those too! 0700 start time! SYITG!!

Since the beginning of December the HIM that run The Patriot have been growing substantially and have been HL machines! 11 FNGs in total would find their new identities. I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome these new future HIM who’ve been coming out and who are now a part of our F3 Nation.ContinueContinue reading “1.19.2022 Back Blast: Black Ops @The Patriot”

The Mutt has some of the most fantastical mumble chatter in all of the land. How we were able to get 400 merkins knocked out in 44 minutes during my visit last week I’ll never know except to say that Fridge knows how to wrangle his men and scratch his head while rubbing his belly.ContinueContinue reading “1.19.22 Pre Blast: Black Ops @ The Patriot-BigBird Q”

First, let me apologize to the PAX that made it out with me on this day for getting this out so late: Viking, Dot (R), Corningstone. I would blame it on the fact that I had 4 Q’s in that week but after week 1 of the Iron Horse challenge and seeing Meter Maid putContinueContinue reading “12.31.21 BackBlast: Pleasantville”

A year ago I found myself being back in full swing almost fully recovered from my ACL surgery. Captain Crunchberry, then site Q over what once was The Station AO had been harassing me to take a Q…any Q and I would finally give in to take the nod on Christmas Eve. At that timeContinueContinue reading “12.28.21 Back Blast: The Planetarium @ The Boondocks”

What: 2022 pull-up challenge. Complete 2022 pull-ups in the first three months of this year. It is 88 days from January 3rd until the end of March which equates to about 23 pull-ups a day. You can knock them all out at once or break them up throughout the day. Why: because you want toContinueContinue reading “3rd Annual Pull-up Challenge”

George Bailey knows my wienke will be about yay big tomorrow ITG. By 0615 you too will realize that it really is a wonderful life. Start time is the regular 0530. Bring with you what you are ready to leave in the past as we look forward to all the possibilities that a new yearContinueContinue reading “12.31.21 Pre Blast: New Year’s Eve at Pleasantville-BigBird Q”

There is no better workout than at any time at The County. It is my home, there are countless options and no matter who is in attendance you are sure to find some of the best PAX in the region that motivate and push each other, making some solid hard work a little more bearable.ContinueContinue reading “12.21.21 Back Blast: The Loco @ The County”

Perhaps this photo is a little more tasteful than a year ago…although not nearly as fun (insert story). But your Bird got chastised and has since learned his lesson….at least about the awesome photo anyway… Come out tomorrow and see if you have what it takes not only to be nice but also to beContinueContinue reading “12.28.21 Pre Blast: The Planetarium @ The Boondocks-BigBird Q”

I’ve been waiting for this mashup since the mashup was a thing especially since Worm likes to say…”early bird gets…Worm.” When newest site Q extraordinaire Bacon asked me to pick up the Q, I jumped at the chance to ask Worm to join me. I reached out to our slimy underground dweller on Monday theContinueContinue reading “12.18.21 Back Blast: BO @ Posh- Worm & BigBird mashup”

I mean when else other than mashup week will I have the opportunity to Q alongside the beast of beasts…the man who has earned double respect and still regularly posts on recovery from a knee replacement surgery…the dude whose wienke promises to be hard and tough without fail, every time…well originally it was planned toContinueContinue reading “12.17.21 Back Blast: The Defender @ The Patriot”

Do you remember being a kid and looking around for where your parents hid your Christmas presents? You were pretty sure that Santa wasn’t real but your parents played along like he was and the only way for you to confirm was to find the presents and on Christmas Day if they said, “From Santa”ContinueContinue reading “12.21.21 Pre Blast: The Loco @ The County-BigBird Q”

So…is it that the early bird gets…worm? Or is it that Worm’ll be getting out early with The Bird? Chicken or the egg…potato, po-ta-toe…semantics… Just get yourselves out of the fart sack at 0700 and earn your weekend! If you do you’ll be there for some hard work, fantastic mumble chatter, emasculation and encouragement! IfContinueContinue reading “12.18.21 Pre Blast: Black Ops @ Regular Posh- Worm/BigBird co-Q”

You can totally tell that 1) Pelican misses being out. 2) Pelican misses Dauber more than being out….So…it was about 0527 and Pelican was already there eager to flex his wings. Dauber gets out of his car and barely gets himself into the lone amber lit streetlight at The Boondocks when Pelican takes note thatContinueContinue reading “12.16.21 Back Blast: The Moonshiner @ The Boondocks-Mash up”

I’m still trying still trying to figure out how to mash up a Holy Roller and a Bird. Maybe take in to account that Jesus is the reason for the season and mash that up with swans, geese, birds calling each other, French hens, turtle doves or Danny Bonaduce…whatever… Just come out to The PatriotContinueContinue reading “12.17.21 Pre Blast: The Defender @ The Patriot-BigBird/ Holy Roller mash up”

Speaking of good dudes, Handbook is another one of em. Since he first joined the cool kids club back in September of 2019, he Site Q’s, he rucks, he travels and…he’s inclusive. Case and point, the night before I was set to Q the BOW, he reaches out and says, “May have an FNG tomorrow.ContinueContinue reading “12.9.21 Back Blast: Temple of Gloom @ The O”

We’ll start where we finish and finish where we began. We’ll run, burpee and go back and forth. No coupons needed. SYITG!

Slide Rule is just a good dude…especially for a young whipper snapper. He (among other Bayside HIM) is always trying to keep his fellas engaged, has done a fine job as the site Q on Thursdays and volunteers his time when able (referencing the Squid move where I got to know him even mo better).ContinueContinue reading “12.2.21 Back Blast: The Big Kapowski @ Bayside”

I love YNot’s story and am so proud of this dude for how far he’s come! I’m not sure if someone gave him the EHL to Q or if he raised his hand on his own but on this day, at The Mutt he would celebrate his very 1st Q. I thought it important toContinueContinue reading “11.24.21 Back Blast: YNot VQ – The Blender @ The Mutt”

I do love a Saturday Q! Work is usually the furthest thing from my mind. I know that after a beat down I’ve earned the right to enjoy the rest of the weekend. And, I get a whole hour to to plan some fun stuff to do. What’s more, I love my County boys! TheyContinueContinue reading “11.20.21 Back Blast: The Nest @ The County”

Let’s take a trip around the St. Aloysius campus at The Nest ITG! I’d tell ya what we’ll be doing but heck, my back blasts are long enough on their own. Just know that it will be a boot camp style workout with some running and no coupins. Also, from a Bird’s eye view it’llContinueContinue reading “11.20.21 Pre Blast for The Nest @ The County – BigBird Q”

About a month ago as were training for the marathon/half, we were having some good mumble chatter as only long runs with friends can produce. One of the topics was stepping up to Q. I mentioned to Dauber (among other things) that I had one scheduled at The Abyss that I just couldn’t recall signingContinueContinue reading “11.15.21 Back Blast: The Motivator @ The Abyss”

I wanted to post a cool picture of Colonel Longrun similar to Meter Maid’s PreBlast picture at The Patriot. Unfortunately, the only thing you may be able to see at The Abyss at 0500 aside from your hand just in front of your face, may be the stars in the sky…if we’re lucky. Be oneContinueContinue reading “11.15.21 Pre Blast-The Motivator @ The Abyss: BigBird Q”

It was Friday December 20th, 2019. I was on the schedule to Q The Chopper just 3 days before I would go under the knife to repair a torn ACL. Even though I had a modified wienke that would require very little leg exercises I slept through my alarm making this the one and onlyContinueContinue reading “10.8.21 Back Blast: The Chopper @ Vets”
