When the IronPAXChallenge concept was announced I really didn’t know what to expect. Then the Teaser WO was released giving a glimpse as to what was in store…pure beatdowns. Each week the designated WO has increased in difficulty culminating in the final WO below. Due to this WO requiring extensive use of a pull upContinueContinue reading “8/28 PreBlast for BlackOps the Crucible”

I’m writing this BackBlast on behalf of Kilo.  Weather: A clear 59 degrees with 85% humidity. PAX Fanny Pack (R) Huggies Iceman (R) & Lulu (his dog) Nino Kilo (QIC) Kilo gave the disclaimer, told the PAX to mount up, & we were off. We went over the bridge, past the Humana Legacy Commons, acrossContinueContinue reading “BackBlast 8/24/18 Ruck Training BO at The Posh”

When I post I really enjoy WOs that are: Creative Involve new exercises Hard However, as I was thinking about what to do this morning I realized these three things are going to be different for everyone. Mind blown. So my goal for this WO was to obviously push the PAX to get better, butContinueContinue reading “The Bridge 8.22.18 BackBlast”

Sometimes I like to be creative & try new things, but tomorrow won’t be one of those days. At the Bridge tomorrow I’m going to keep things simple. The plan is to run, do some Mary, & do some different exercises all meant you make you better. If you plan to attend & have aContinueContinue reading “8/22 the Bridge Pre-Blast”

One of my favorite things about Qing is getting to plan the WO. I like to try new things & I love passing out a beat down to the attending PAX. With the IronPAXChallenge I don’t get to plan the WO, but this morning the 9 PAX who posted definitely got a beat down. Conditions:ContinueContinue reading “8/14 BackBlast IronPAXChallenge Week 2”

As I’ve met more PAX across F3Louisville I’ve realized a characteristic embedded within almost all of us: COMPETITIVENESS. Do we support one another & embrace seeing others succeed? Absolutely! But when you’re in the gloom if you think you’re not looking around competing with your fellow PAX then you’re lying to yourself. I love aboutContinueContinue reading “8/14 Pre-Blast IronPAXChallenge Week 2”

Yesterday was my first time posting in Louisville in almost two weeks & I was greeted by an absolute beat down by McAfee…it was AWESOME. Who knew you could truly miss doing burpees, squats, big boys, air presses, LBCs, Bobby Hurley’s, & more at 0530 in the morning?!? This morning when my alarm went offContinueContinue reading “7/31 BlackOps the Crucible: IronPAXChallenge Teaser”

If you read my Pre-Blast you would know I had nothing special planned for this morning. My goal for North Posh has & always will be a WO that is hard, that pushes you more than usual. Some times this will be up to the Q to do, but most of the time it’s aContinueContinue reading “The Silo BackBlast 7/16/18”

This time next week I’ll be on vacation, but I wanted to Q the North Posh before I left. I’ve got nothing crazy or original planned. Just hills, burpees, groiners, running, abs, merkins…🤔. I think that pretty much covers what will entail the full body beat down that awaits you at The Silo tomorrow. SYITG Nino

This was my first time to Q on back-to-back days. I was talking with Kilo yesterday morning who figured I’d do the same WO I did at the LOCO, but that he’d REALLY like to get out of the parking lot at The Tank. So, I decided to come up with a completely new WOContinueContinue reading “The Tank BackBlast 7/11/18”

If you read my Back Blast from The LOCO you’ll understand the significance of this picture, but if not you’ll find out in the morning. Tomorrow we’re going to get out of the parking lot & out of our comfort zones…should be fun 😉. SYITG Nino

  If you read the Pre-Blast (which I’m sure you didn’t) you’d know it’d been several days since I’ve been able to post. May not seem like a big deal & it’s probably not, but regardless I was ready to get back into the gloom to get better.  Weather: A clear 72 degrees with 98%ContinueContinue reading “Back Blast The LOCO 7/10/18”

I haven’t posted since last Thursday, which is only 4 days but it feels like forever. Needless to say I’m ready get back into the gloom. Get up, get out, & get better. SYITG Nino

Needless to say I’m exited for tomorrow. It’s been almost 2 months since I’ve had the Q at The Posh. Enjoy your day & get some rest tonight PAX because we’re going to grind in the morning. SYITG Nino

In college I felt like on any given night of the week if I wanted to drink & go out to the bars I could ALWAYS find a fraternity brother who was willing to do the same. Jump ahead 10 years & I feel the same with way this PAX, although slightly modified. On anyContinueContinue reading “6/9/18 Backblast Pre-Ruck for The Fog”

Since the beginning of April we’ve experienced substantial growth at The Posh culminating in 20-30 PAX posting on Monday at The Incubator. In an attempt to help out the Q & maintain the 2ndf the decision was made to split The Posh. Today, for the first time the PAX had the ability to choose whereContinueContinue reading “Back Blast for BlackOps at the North Posh 6/4/18 #TheSilo”

Disclaimer: Easy won’t be an option. This WO will be hard, but YOU will get better. Regardless of the Q, when you post at North Posh you’re guaranteed to get a full body beat down. Why? At North Posh the terrain will play a part in just about any WO. Don’t believe me? Curious as toContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast 6/4/18 BlackOps at North Posh #TheSilo”

(not pictured Digiorno & Wham-O) In preparation for this Q I went through a lot of the Back Blasts for The Mutt to see what kind of WOs were being done. Since we don’t have coupons on the regular at The Posh I really wanted to use them, but in a way different than normal.ContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast 5/19/18 The Hurt at The Mutt”

This morning Iceman spoke about an aspect of F3 that I often undervalue: being pushed out of my comfort zone. Speaking for myself, maybe for others, I am predominantly pushed out of my comfort zone during a WO when the Q provides instruction for an exercise & I think or hear, “Demonstration.” A few weeksContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast 5/19/18 The Hurt at The Mutt”

It’s Monday of Derby week & tomorrow is May 1st so needless to say I was surprised to wake up this morning to a brisk 37 degrees. Despite the cool conditions (12) PAX showed up this morning to get their week started off with a full body beating. PAX Bob Ross Double Down (RESPECT) ForcedContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast 4/30/18 The Incubator at The Posh”

I’m going to keep it simple. Tomorrow you have two options of where to post to start your week: Veterans or The Posh. Either way my suggestion is get up, post, & enjoy a full body beat down to kick off Derby week. We’re going to need coupons at The Posh. SYITG Nino

Had I known exactly what Huggies had in store for his VQ I might not have put this Pre-Ruck on the calendar. However, I knew Huggies got his Ruck sack in this week & was chomping at the bit to use it. So, (6) PAX hit the ground at 0545 this morning to travel 4.0ContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast 4/28/18 for The Fog Pre-Ruck”

Tomorrow morning Huggies has a full body beat down planned for his VQ. BUT if you’re a glutton for punishment come out to the Posh a little early tomorrow to put in a solid 4 miles beforehand. My goal is to move at a sub 15’ per mile pace so come ready to go! SYITGContinueContinue reading “4/28/18 PreBlast for The Fog Pre-Ruck #Ruckership”

It’s been a great week across F3 Louisville led by (10) different PAX members stepping up for VQs. From what I’ve experienced & read it’s been a week of fully body beat downs. It’d make sense that today not only being Friday, but also Convergence Eve to give yourself a break in anticipation of whatContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast 4/20/18 North Posh BlackOps #TheWall”

The 1st time I posted at The Wall for a BlackOps WO…I hated it. The 2nd time I posted at The Wall for a BlackOps Ruck Training…I hated it. After my 3rd & 4th time posting at The Wall I no longer hated it, but instead I actually appreciated the beauty that is her pain.ContinueContinue reading “4/20/18 North Posh BlackOps Pre-Blast”

Last night as I was finalizing the workout for my VQ I found myself anxious & stressed because I was so unsure of what I was doing today. This morning I woke up at 4:15 AM & was at the Posh by 4:45 AM going through everything in my head & walking it out. Then,ContinueContinue reading “Backblast 3/19/18 Nino VQ @ Posh #incubator”

Come out to the Poshlands tomorrow, 3/19/18, as I give away my VQ. I anticipate this being a much different experience than what happened on Spring Break in Mexico years ago 🤔…then again maybe it won’t. SYITG Nino
