On December 19, 2019 I sent out the PreBlast announcing the 2020 the Iron Horse Challenge. Over the next two weeks 50+ PAX members of F3Louisville signed up to take on the challenge, which is designed to to encourage PAX members to continue getting out ITG in the winter months when conditions are often lessContinue reading “Presenting Your 2020 F3Louisville Iron Horses”

Last weekend the Region was challenged to get out & run in an attempt to run more than the 157 miles (or something like that) F3Naperville had previously boasted. What did our PAX do? You crazy SOBs collectively ran over 600 miles! I’ve been thinking about this for several days & have come to aContinue reading “Introducing the Ultimate Weekend Warrior Challenge”

I’ve now Qd several WOs via Zoom & they’ve all been “you vs you” in either an AMRAP or TABATTA form, but I wanted to do things a little different today… PAX: Frankenbaby  Aerobie (R) Holy Roller (R) Potter Handbook  Huggies Gypsy  Crock Pot McAfee Jewel Nan Moore Jitterbug (R) Stick Up Nino (QIC) AtContinue reading “Edgamacation Givin at the Timpl of Zoom 4.8.2020 BakBlast”

Things you’ll need; Smart phone or connected device Zoom app or Zoom link (https://zoom.us/j/221604443) Driveway, garage, parking lot, random field, wherever…but ideally pick a spot with 20-25 yards of clear space Coupon or weight of any kind A chairContinue reading “Virtual WO BlackOps 4.1.2020 PreBlast”

Due to the increased craziness of this COVID-19 pandemic the M put her foot her down  insisting that if I’m going to WO I do it in the Zoom. On Monday I Qd my first WO via Zoom & I admit I tossed, turned, & woke up all night like it was my VQ (which technicallyContinue reading “Mist in the Zoom BlackOps 3.27.2020 BackBlast”

Weather conditions at 0600 are 62 degrees, which sounds pretty ideal to get up & out into your driveway for a WO. Things you’ll need; Smart phone or connected device Zoom app or Zoom link (https://zoom.us/j/221604443) Driveway or garage (given the weather forecast I strong encourage you to get out into the driveway) Coupon orContinue reading “Virtual Mist BlackOps 3.27.2020 PreBlast”

Over the last three days I’ve heard, “our new reality” countless times in the news, advertisements, etc. Tomorrow I will take a step into this new reality by Qing a virtual WO via Zoom. Things you’ll need; Smart phone or connected device Zoom app or Zoom link (https://zoom.us/j/221604443) Driveway or area with 20-30 yards ofContinue reading “Virtual Gloom BlackOps 3.23.20 PreBlast”

I’ve spent the last 5 hours building LEGOs with my 4 year old while also having LEGO movies on in the background. Day 3 of this COVID-19 social distancing has got me feeling like Hulk on the inside. I haven’t planned the WO for tomorrow yet, but we will get after it to make sureContinue reading “The Big Kapowski 3.19.2020 PreBlast”

This Saturday 3.14.2020, we’ll celebrate 1 year since the initial WO at The Garden. Nice & Slow, Huggies, & myself will Q a convergence style WO wherein we will lead three separate 15 minute WOs across various parts of the site to till you down to your roots before forcing your growth back up. Don’tContinue reading “1 Year of Growing The Garden 3.14.2020 PreBlast”

As I was planning this WO I went back & forth multiple times as to what I wanted to do & where I wanted to do it. Regardless of either, I know I wanted to try something I’ve never done as the Q & something I’ve never done during a WO (at least not thatContinue reading “DORA’s Bag of Bodybuilders at The O 3.3.20 BackBlast”

Typically when I’ve Qd at The O I like to get off the pavement & in the grass, but given the rain & the likelihood of continued rain tonight into the morning you can go ahead & plan on being on the pavement. While I don’t have all the details of the WO planned outContinue reading “Bag of Wrenches at The O 3.3.20 PreBlast”

In preparation for this Q I went out to the site on Tuesday to scout things out a little more (I’d been there before, but it was like 8 months ago to Ruck) & I left pumped. Given the forecast for this morning I was really pumped seeing this Pavilion below, but admittedly I wonderedContinue reading “1st Broad Run BO establishes the “The 700 Club” 2.13.20 BB”

Tomorrow will be the start of the next expansion of F3Louisville as we strive to impact more men in our community. The location is set (see below) & after scouting the area out yesterday I’m really excited about this site. Broad Run Park was completed after Beckley Creek Park (also known as The Posh whichContinue reading “Broad Run BlackOps 2.13.20 PreBlast”

My entire idea for this WO was to do a complete mash-up of several types of WOs (a few of which I’ve never used in a WO) to make one complete WO to last for 30-40 minutes. My personal perceived genius will likely be overshadowed by this picture above given it’s already gotten 24 responsesContinue reading “A Thirst Trap from VETS 2.7.2020 BackBlast”

If you’ve looked at the weather you’re aware it’s not going to be ideal tomorrow morning… I get it…it’s Friday…it’s going to be cold & it’s going to be wet so I understand not wanting to get out, but if you get a wild hair come out to Vets. I’m going to try something I’veContinue reading “The Chopper 2.7.20 PreBlast”

The WO tomorrow at Pleasantville will be a competition. Your strength will be tested. Your endurance will be tested. Your mind will be tested. ONLY the most skilled will be victorious. If you think you’ve got what it takes stand atop the platform get out to o Wisteria. SYITG Nino

I started this morning by taking my 2nd dose of an antibiotic because I’ve been sick since last Tuesday, but I’d signed up to Q & I wasn’t about to miss it. I Qd the first WO this year at The Garden on 3.7.19 & I was going to Q the last WO this yearContinue reading “Poppin’ Bottles at the Cliffs 12.31.19 BackBlast”

For all of us to tomorrow is our last opportunity to get a WO in before the calendar turns to 2020, but for A LOT of the PAX in the Region, tomorrow is also an opportunity for a first…their first post at The Garden. Over the last 2 1/2 years, the Region has experienced exponentialContinue reading “End of the Year Cliffs 12.31.19 PreBlast”

The family & I got home around 8:30 Friday night following a birthday party for Goose’s daughter, which meant it was about 9:30 until the 2.0s were asleep. Although I had an idea of what I wanted to do for the WO the next day I hadn’t prepared anything & honestly I didn’t really wantContinue reading “The BoP Returns to The Fog 12.14.19 BackBlast”

Thriving or surviving. Given the choice, I don’t think there’s any question which option every PAX member would choose. It’s the vision & the goal of Kilo, Diablo, Catfish, & myself for the Region to THRIVE within ALL 3 Fs in 2020. This challenge is meant to jumpstart the acceleration of thriving as soon asContinue reading “2020 IRON-HORSE CHALLENGE”

So this is actually two days before the 2-year mark of my first post, but my first post was the Bridge at The Posh so we’re going to celebrate a little prematurely. If you haven’t been to one of my 50+ Qs over the last two years I encourage you to come out tomorrow &Continue reading “2 Year Postversary at The Bridge 12.18.19 PreBlast”

I’d originally signed up to Q The Rooster last week, 11.25.19, but underestimated the mental & physical toll moving would take on me so I asked Backdraft to cover for me. Thank you brother! It’d been 10+ days since I last worked out so when putting together the WO I wanted something to hit theContinue reading “The Rooster Crowed 12.3.19 BackBlast”

Last Monday the M & I closed on a new home so I spent the week moving & didn’t post a single time. Tomorrow I’m gonna slide back into the gloom at El Mutt & encourage all of you PAX who ate too much to do the same. We’ll do a variety of things, mostContinue reading “El Gallo 🐓 12.3.19 PreBlast”

Close the work week out strong tomorrow out at Vets. It’s going to be cold, but we’ll warm up quick & if you’ve ever been to one my Qs at Vets you know I like to use the hills…this won’t change tomorrow. What will change? You will get better. SYITG. Nino

A couple of months ago The County was consistently having 20-25+ PAX consistently post at the Loco & the Agony so needless to say it was time for some starfish. We began looking at sites to primarily accommodate The County PAX & Peggy Baker Park was deemed one of those locations. I’d been to theContinue reading “Peggy Baker BlackOps 10.29.19 BackBlast”

I haven’t been to a WO at Peggy Baker yet, but I’ve gone two separate times to scout the terrain & I think this place had a a lot to offer. Don’t worry…we won’t use a hill or coupons tomorrow (only because the site doesn’t have either) so it’ll be a good ole fashioned bodyContinue reading “Peggy Baker BlackOps 10.29.19 PreBlast”

The idea behind Ghost Q Week is to post & not have any idea who the Q is (I know for some PAX this is their norm because they don’t the calendar). In preparation for this morning, I got to The O at about 0510 to set up for the WO…not because it took meContinue reading “Ghost Q Bag of Wrenches 10.22.19 BackBlast”

Today we kicked off Ghost Q Week leading up to Convergence this Saturday 10.26.19. I look forward to seeing as many PAX as possible this Saturday at Convergence with the details below: WHAT: A full body hour long beat down by 4 different PAX of F3Louisville followed by some quality 2ndF. WHEN: Saturday 10.26.19 fromContinue reading “**CONVERGENCE 10.26.19 PREBLAST**”
