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 outContinueContinue reading “Bag of Wrenches at The O 3.3.20 PreBlast”

5 Rounds of all these reps equals 700, hence “The 700 Club” 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 morningContinueContinue 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 whichContinueContinue reading “Broad Run BlackOps 2.13.20 PreBlast”

We lost the bet to Naperville & we paid the price… 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 beContinueContinue 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’veContinueContinue 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 yearContinueContinue 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 exponentialContinueContinue 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 wantContinueContinue 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 asContinueContinue 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 &ContinueContinue 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 theContinueContinue 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, mostContinueContinue 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 theContinueContinue 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 bodyContinueContinue 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 meContinueContinue 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 fromContinueContinue reading “**CONVERGENCE 10.26.19 PREBLAST**”

I’ve got a surprise for anyone posting at The Garden tomorrow…a hill will be involved. Simply put, if ever Q at The Garden & don’t use one of the hills then in my opinion my Q credibility is shot. If you’re not scared to WO on a hill, bring some gloves & come out toContinueContinue reading “Cloverfield 10.17.19 PreBlast”

In my PreBlast, I noted how long it’d been since I posted at The County, which is surprising considering how frequently I posted there last year & it’s less than 15 minutes away from my house. Today I shared with the PAX of The County the reason why: I didn’t need to. The County becameContinueContinue reading “Dem County Boyz Still Got “It” 10.1.19 BackBlast”

It’s been 275 days since I last Qd & 263 days since I last posted at The County (I’m not counting the BlackOps on 9.21.19 to do Week 3 of the IPC) which is pretty crazy when you consider I’m the one who coined The County PAX as “Dem County Boyz”. Tomorrow, both of thoseContinueContinue reading “I’m Coming for Dem County Boyz at the LOCO on 10.1.19 PreBlast”

Let’s face it, the natural tendency of essentially of most (if not all) living things is to take the path of least resistance, the easier way. I love about North Posh because the Site doesn’t give you this option. The terrain essentially forces you into a WO that is more difficult than usual. What madeContinueContinue reading “The Silo 9.30.19 BackBlast: Beast Mode ON”

The premise behind the WOs at the beginning of the North Posh were simple: BEAST MODE. Week in & week I wanted the WO to be so challenging that the PAX who attended would push themselves exponentially harder than they normally would & in turn would take greater leaps in their fitness level. Tomorrow weContinueContinue reading “The Silo 9.30.19 PreBlast”

The IronPAXChallenge is a very “love-hate” thing…well maybe “like-hate”. Each week for four weeks a different WO is sent out by F3Greenwood to track either an elapsed time or total number of reps. Each week I’d see the WO & think to myself, “Damn, this thing is gonna be a b*^~h” & each week IContinueContinue reading “IronPAXChallenge Week 4 BO at The Posh 9.24.19 BB”

The end of the 2019 IronPAXChallenge is in sight as we’ll  take on the fourth & final WO tomorrow at The Posh. We’re going to start at 0515 to ensure we’re finished by the regular time of 0615 & we will also meet at a different location (shown below). Here’s the final WO & the linkContinueContinue reading “IronPAXChallenge Week 4 BlackOps at The Posh 9.24.19 PreBlast”

Each week of the first two weeks of the IPC I’ve Qd the weekly WO on Tuesday for a couple of reasons…1. Friday is the M’s day to workout & 2. I prefer to get this thing knocked out & not having it looming over my head for the week. However, this week was goingContinueContinue reading “IronPAXChallenge Week 3 BO at The County 9.21.19 BB”

The M has been out of town all week so I haven’t been able to post meaning I haven’t been able to complete the Week 3 WO of the IPC…so if you haven’t been able to do take on the 43 minutes of misery below,  but would like to then come meet me at theContinueContinue reading “IronPAXChallenge Week 3 BlackOps at The County 9.21.19 PreBlast”

I’m typically pretty on top of sending out my BackBlast, but not this one…intentionally. Since the IronPAXChallenge is a competition it was decided by the PAX who participated in the WO on Tuesday not to post our times. Why? Well, because it gives the PAX who participate in the WO on Friday a competitive advantage.ContinueContinue reading “IronPAXChallenge Week 2 BO at The Posh 9.10.19 BB”

Today 9 PAX took on Week 2 of the IronPAXChallenge at The County & some feedback was not only is this WO a “beast” but the WO alone may take a little longer than the 45 minutes we have slotted for weekday WOs. In an effort to ensure PAX members are done by 0615 we’reContinueContinue reading “IronPAXChallenge Week 2 BlackOps at The Posh 9.10.19 PreBlast”
