When you pull into The J’Town Veterans Memorial Park you immediately see the 60 foot long Freedom Wall paying homage to all 5 branches of the US Military. Once you walk towards the Seal you notice 8 park benches that display the words “Honor, Duty, Loyalty and Courage.” As you walk forward still you’ll noticeContinueContinue reading “10.8.21 PreBlast:The Chopper @ Vets-BigBird Q”

I’m not normally one to make a big deal out of my birthday and don’t usually look to schedule a birthday Q. However, when The Foundry’s newest site Q (Meter Maid) had some dates to fill I figured I’d help a brother out and sign up and since it was the day before my birthdayContinueContinue reading “9.29.21 Back Blast: The Foundry @ The County”

The number 44 is related to achievements, accomplishing goals, putting in hard work and laying the foundation for greatness. Come out with me ITG and have a taste of all of it!

About a month ago Birdie called me out to lead a workout at The Max. 1: I’m a sucker for a call out. 2: I love dem Bayside boys. 3: What else would I be doing at 0530 ITG (welp, let’s call it 0500 to account for travel time)? 4: always defer to my F3ContinueContinue reading “9.21.21 Back Blast: The Max @ Bayside”

Not too long ago Timeshare, The Nest’s newest site Q, was trying to fill up the calendar. One of the dates he was looking for was this day. Pretty sure this was right at about postiversary time for me and my boy @Cochran. Would double check https://f3louisville.herokuapp.com/pax just to be sure. Check and confirm andContinueContinue reading “9.18.21 Back Blast: The Nest @ The County-Cochran & BigBird Co-Q 4 yr Postiversary”

When a visitor comes to Bayside to lead a workout one always brings their “A” Game. Tomorrow ITG YHC will be bringing his “B” Game. That doesn’t mean it’s going to suck any less. It just means your Bird will be delivering a different kind of beat down. Be prepared to work over your lungs,ContinueContinue reading “9.21.21 Pre Blast: The Max@ Bayside-BigBird Q”

I’m not a Q machine like F-Stop or Squid or some others out in the region. So when I sign up it’s usually a little spread out. I try to do a good job keeping track but this one got by me. I found myself checking in on the F3 runners and mumble ruckers onContinueContinue reading “8.30.2021 Back Blast-The Minuteman @ The Patriot”

We’ll, it’s 20 hundred hours on Sunday evening . You had conquered the week and earned your weekend. You were a High Impact Man being the light to those that surrounded you. You likely just had a nice family dinner to put the cherry on top of a perfect weekend. But what’s this? Do youContinueContinue reading “8.30.21 Pre-Blast: The Minuteman @ The Patriot”

As Motor Boat likes to be prepared, about 6 weeks ago he was looking for some good Americans to fill up the calendar for August. I wanted to be a good American so I asked him to sign me up. Shortly thereafter Sump Pump reaches out and lets me know that he has the QContinueContinue reading “8.26.21 Back Blast-Temple of Gloom at The O”

Come out ITG at 0530 on Thursday and we’ll be hammering home the 5 core principles. On top of learning how to give a disclaimer, the proper way to count, and leaving no man where you found him, we’ll also learn the importance of giving respect to your elders. Lace up your shoes for someContinueContinue reading “8.26.21 Pre Blast: Temple of Gloom @ The O- BigBird Q”

0500 and after hitting the snooze a few times I did the ole one eye to check my phone to see the forecast. 100% chance of rain through 0700. I get out of bed, peek through the blinds and see that the ground is dancing. Fantastic…I guess I’ll have to modify my wienke for myself,ContinueContinue reading “8.19.21 The Moonshiner @ The Boondocks-Back Blast”

We’ll be getting into a bit of all three tomorrow ITG. Come out, put in some work and test your moxie. Bring your coupons for lifting, wear shoes for running and invite a buddy who has a desire to get better! SYITG BigBird

0525 and as one rolls into town at zero dark thirty you’ll find downtown LaGrange lit up with the ambient glow of subtle orange lights in a city just beginning to wake up. There were workers already getting after it watering plants, cleaning up and putting their spit shine touch on it to keep BossContinueContinue reading “7.23.2021 Back Blast-The Defender @The Patriot”

Independence: The quality or state of being independent. Independent: Not requiring or relying on something else. Come out ITG and earn yours from the work week. Start it out right, own the day and set the tone for the weekend. We’ll be running…Native American style… amongst other CSAUP stuff. No coupons required. SYITG!

The workout was only 45 minutes but after today’s, let’s call it…experience, I have enough material to write a book! And to those PAX in attendance today, we all went through something special and I am truly blessed to have been a part of it. As I arrive I see Schotzie off to side talkingContinueContinue reading “7.7.21 Back Blast The Bridge @ Poshland”

When day comes, we step out of the shade aflame and unafraid. The new dawn blooms as we free it. For there is always light. If only we are brave enough to see it. If only we are brave enough to be it. Let’s get out tomorrow, climb The Bridge and get better together. NoContinueContinue reading “7.7.21 Pre Blast: The Bridge @Poshlands-BigBird Q”

0525 and as I am en route to The County I see Abacus on his morning run, likely 15 miles into a 20 mile run…or something probably similar to that. Right away, I know it’s going to be a good day. As I pull into the lot, there’s a flurry of activity already with dudesContinueContinue reading “6.23.21 Back Blast – The Foundry @ The County”

But we will at least increase our reps. That makes it a little less crazy, right?…And the results to follow will equip us to dominate the day! Bring your coupons, gloves and running shoes. SYITG

I’ve been out of practice. Last Q was in March and I’d be lying if I told you that I hadn’t found myself a little disengaged for one reason or another. One being, I owed a couple of back blasts and felt I was doing the PAX a disservice by not getting them out there.ContinueContinue reading “6.14.21 Back Blast-Incubator @ Posh”

Most of us have had the day off today to rest, relax and to give our muscles the chance for a breather from a week full of beat downs. Monday is a chance to start anew and set the tone for the week to come. Join me tomorrow ITG and we’ll start our week offContinueContinue reading “6.14.21 PB-the Incubator @ Posh-BigBird Q”

Last day of the month. Last day of the first quarter of the year. Last day for the Iron Horse Challenge. What a journey it’s been already! We must’ve been having fun cuz time’s been flying. Speaking of flying, pretend that your Wednesday is on the mat. And you are the Ultimate Warrior standing onContinueContinue reading “3.31.21 PB The Tank @ Vets-BigBird Q”

Every Mother Offers Meatloaf…Extraterrestrials Make Omnipotents Mad…Exceptional Men Oppress Miscreants… These acronyms don’t really mean anything. And if they do, come talk to me after class. I’d be interested to learn more. However, there is one acronym we’ll be using a lot of tomorrow. That said, we won’t be running, or bear crawling or climbingContinueContinue reading “3.23.21 PB- The Cliffs @ The Garden- BigBird Q”

Almost three weeks ago. Wienke was established and I knew what I was going to do for the hour long Saturday workout. Fast forward to Monday March 8th.

It could be Max effort, it could be Max reps. You will definitely Max out on your outlook to the day. We will be running, moving and working hard. No coupons needed. SYITG

LePew had inspired me to come up with this Goofball of a workout. I had my inner Grover channeled on a guy’s trip a few weeks ago and when I heard that he was going to be a HC, I figured I’d pay homage to my favorite childhood show Sesame Street. Not everyone would getContinueContinue reading “2.18.21 BB-The Moonshiner at the Boondocks-BigBird Q”

I’ve been a bit off my game for the last couple of weeks so for the men that worked with me on this day, I apologize for getting this out so late. PAX: Gisele, LePew, Devitto, Dauber, HolyRoller-R, Backflop, Pelican, BigBird-Q I lost my mother-in-law suddenly on Monday the 8th. I was overwhelmed by theContinueContinue reading “2.11.21 BB-The Agony@ The County-BigBird Q”

If LePew’s ever tried coercing you into joining the Boondocks crew, he likely will sell you on how Near it a actually is to where you are. Plumb Bob might disagree and say that for him, it is very Far. Whether this is Near or this is Far, the Boondocks boys always know how toContinueContinue reading “2.18.21-PB: Moonshiner @ The Boondocks- BigBird Q”

So you know it’s The Agony, right? And Agony by definition means extreme physical or mental suffering. I can’t promise either but I also cannot promise having any of other either…if that makes any sense. With the weather being what it is, The County has all sorts of options for modification. And I won’t letContinueContinue reading “2.11.21 The Agony @ The County-BigBird Q”
