12.23.2019 – I went under the knife to repair a complete tear of my ACL. As I was reflecting over the last year, a flurry of thoughts and emotions came over me. Everything from: thinking I’d be ready to return in 3 months (if Tiger or Devitto are reading this, they’re laughing their a$$es off),ContinueContinue reading “12.24.20 BB The Inferno @ The Station-BigBird Q”

Death, taxes and mumble chatter at the Mutt. Sump Pump, BUSCHHHHH, and Deuce agreed that they were indeed all certainties as some strong fellowship was happening even in the midst of a pretty solid wienke. Rewind about a month ago when Digiorno reached out to me and asked if I knew anyone outside of theContinueContinue reading “12.18.20 BB-The ‘06 @ Mary T-BigBird Q”

Today is gone, today was fun. Tomorrow will be another one. Every day from here to there…Hard work is happening everywhere! Some workouts are old, some are new. Some will make you sad, some might make you slightly glad. Some will be very, very bad! Why are they Sad and Glad and Bad? I don’tContinueContinue reading “12.18.20 PB The ‘06 (Mary T) Shut Up the Mutt-BigBird Q”

I have always been a little intimidated when it comes to Q’ing a Heavy style workout. I think it’s because to me, there’s a lot more thought that goes into it. What weights to bring? How many of each? How many stations do I set up? What if I plan for 5 dudes and 15ContinueContinue reading “Back Blast 12.2.20-The Foundry @ The County”

They say don’t Q it if you can’t do it, right? So I tried this one out to be sure. It sucked! Tomorrow will be tough! And you will pull from deep within yourself every adjective of the word GRIT to make it to 0615…but per the norm we’ll get after it together! We’ll motivateContinueContinue reading “12.2.20 Pre Blast-The Foundry @The County-BigBird Q”

This year’s been a doozie, huh? I bet no one else can say that right?….Uh, yeah right Bird…Well, I’ll certainly never forget it. I’ve been unable to get out with you men since a year ago this week, I tore my ACL doing some CSAUP F3 soccer….well, if we would’ve won it wouldn’t have beenContinueContinue reading “11.9.20 Black Ops at The County-BigBird Q”

The below is my post from 2019. It still holds true so I figured I’d make it easy on myself and use the same words. 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 6ContinueContinue reading “2nd annual February M Challenge-2020”

Alright PAX, many of you may have heard but to those that haven’t, on 12.19.19 I got confirmation that my ACL had been torn (whilst attempting to play indoor soccer on 11.12, my 18 year old mind telling my 42 year old body that it’d be ok). In an effort to squeeze in a surgeryContinueContinue reading “2020 Pull Up Challenge-Q1”

Mama’s Boy says your QIC shouldn’t be posting due to an ACL tear. He crazy! In order for him to be okay with it I had to meet two requirements. 1)Modify as necessary with no leg exercises and 2) we Clown Car to the A.O. Done and Done. We will be working these things (photoContinueContinue reading “12.20.19 Pre-Blast BigBird @The Choppa”

You ever see that Folgers commercial…well, really any Folgers commercial where someone in the house opens up the coffee and takes a big sniff? And then every other coffee drinker in the house wakes up, eyes closed, eyebrows raised and a smile on their face as they take a deep breath to the smell ofContinueContinue reading “12.10.19 Bag of Wrenches Backblast-BigBird Q”

It’s been almost a month since my knee injury and I have yet to fully diagnose the situation. I know Jolly, should’ve seen the Dr. sooner…but I have shitty insurance. I haven’t Q’d in that long and have only been able to post twice…well three time if you count the super-smart decision to play TurkeyContinueContinue reading “12.10.19 BoW @ The O-PB: BigBird Q”

The Gloom has a good way of bringing things out in people. Effort. Digging deep. Finding that you can push yourself beyond your limitations. That’s the 1stF. The Magnet.

Bulletin has 6 weeks (yeah, right! He’s aContinueContinue reading “11.12.19 Peggy Baker B.O. BigBird-Q”

They say do what you’re uncomfortable doing right? Well, I’ve only Q’d The Foundry once before and in my critical opinion, it was lackluster and left something to be desired. So sign me up Alexa for another shot (long over due, I know…). That doesn’t mean I won’t be nervous. But you know what? SometimesContinueContinue reading “11.6.19 Back Blast for The Foundry- BigBird Q”

Ever take some time to reflect on what you have accomplished in a year? Ever do that at a time that’s not January the 1st? It’s healthy to not just set goals to get better in the future and not to just be present in the moment but also to think about the wins youContinueContinue reading “11.2.19 Back Blast @The Nest-BigBird-Q”

If I leave here tomorrow, Would you still remember me? For I must be traveling on, now Cause there’s too many places I’ve got to see.

It’s now timeContinueContinue reading “11.2.19 PB for The Nest @The County-BigBird Q”

You likely don’t know this but your Bird used to do professional theatre in Cincinnati. I love dressing up, getting into character and stepping into another world. Oh, and I probably own more wigs than what is acceptable for a man in his early 40’s. I am also a big fan of the Halloween season.ContinueContinue reading “10.21.19 Ghost Q-Back Blast for The Incubator @ Posh”
