Today was my first time Qing at Peggy Baker but have been out there quite a bit since August. There’s always a good core groups of guys there who have worked hard to get this close official AO status. It’s a great location and if you haven’t posted out there you should soon. Six PAXContinue reading “Back blast-Pelican Q-Peggy Baker Park 1.28.20”

Come on out to PBP tomorrow. We will be working the entire body so be ready. Bring gloves cause it’s cold and we will be using coupons. SYITG Pelican

It was cold this morning but 15 HIMs fought the fart sack and got out and got better. I signed up to Q at the Incubator before I realized I play basketball about every Sunday night and my legs are usually sore the next morning. I had originally planned on doing some running and sprintingContinue reading “Backblast, Incubator @ South Posh, Pelican Q-1/20/20”

Last week my workouts seemed to be leg heavy and Sunday night is basketball night so tomorrow we will be focusing on our upper body. We will go hard to try to stay warm. If you have any lower body ailments South Posh is the place for you. SYITG Pelican

Today was truly a humbling experience. When I signed up for the IHC and got on the schedule to Q last month I obviously had no idea how special today would be. Not only are we in the middle of a challenge with Naperville this would be the day we would encourage all the HIMsContinue reading “Backblast-#RyleighStrong @ The Garden, Pelican Q 1.14.20”

No better place to wear green than at the Garden. Bring a friend and come get better. If you don’t come here go somewhere….and wear green. Full body workout using coupons, prepare accordingly. Oh and wear green. #RyleighStrong

This summer Le Pew ran the Billy Madison workout at The County and at Peggy Baker park. I enjoyed it in the way you enjoy something that really sucks. So when IHC came around I decided to make a trip to Bayside and see if Billy could graduate with Zack and Kelly. We loaded upContinue reading “Backblast -Pelican Q The Max @ Bayside 1.10.20”

Have you ever wondered what the movie would have been like if Billy Madison had went to school at Bayside? I’ve spent so many hours thinking about this I figured I should find out. If this has been on your mind as well come out to Bayside tomorrow @ 6 and we can figure itContinue reading “Preblast-Pelican Q The Max @ Bayside”

I’ve been coming to the County since May, have Q’d six or seven times total but this was the first time I’ve Q’d a Tuesday or Thursday. These days always draw big numbers so wanted to come up with something good and slightly different. I got there a bit early to “set up” which consistedContinue reading “BB-Pelican Q The Agony @ The County 1.9.20”

Come out to the County tomorrow to help me celebrate my Sweet Sixteen. We will be jumping, lifting and running. I will accept gifts (but it’s not my birthday, I’ve just always wanted a Sweet 16 party). SYITG Pelican

For the New Years Day workout I asked Dauber if we could move the start time back to 7 and go for an hour. I wanted to work hard for about half the time and get some burpee football in the other half. He graciously obliged but our relationship has gone down hill since then.Continue reading “Backblast-Pelican Hangover Heavy Q 1.1.20 Foundry at the County”

Come start the New Year with me at the County. We are going to meet at the playground for 30ish minutes of heavy work and then switch to the green space for some burpee football because what’s New Year’s Day without a bowl game. Bring gloves for the heavy. I can’t promise this will cureContinue reading “Preblast-Pelican Q Hangover Heavy Bowl, The Foundry @ The County 1.1.20”

Like a lot of the PAX I’ve been indulging in all the holidays have to offer so I was excited to not drink and eat all day and night and go to bed early for the first in over a week. Around 2 or 3 AM my 2.0 Cookie Monster came and took my spotContinue reading “Backblast Pelican Q 12.27.19 Wisteria @ Pleasantville”

I started the countdown to 2020 a bit too early at the firehouse a couple weeks ago so I’m going to try again with some slight modifications at Pleasantville. As was the case last time underwear is required and pants are optional. SYITG

Pelican gave me the green light and was fully supportive of “Something New” for my VQ. I was really hoping the PAX would bring an open mind and have a willingness to try some new things. The PAX was truly awesome. All 16 PAX were engaged, focused, and completely into learning new movements. The PAXContinue reading “12.14.19 Back Blast –  The Nest @ The County-Big Bugs VQ”

Ready for something a little different? Come out to The Nest for a CrossFit-flavored workout with an emphasis on movement standards and technique. We’ll spend time going through a couple of progressions to learn pistols and handstand push-ups. Whether you are already proficient at these movements or you’ve never even heard of them, you’ll beContinue reading “Preblast: Something New @ The Nest at The County: Saturday, December 14 07:00 Big Bug’s VQ”

l PAX-Fungi, Brown Water, Captain Crunchberry, Back Flop, Cochran, Le Pew, Abacus, Air Plane, Pelican (Q) This Black Ops has been going strong since summer but I’ve only visited a couple times. When Fungi reached out for Qs last month I figured raising my hand would be a good way to lock myself in forContinue reading “Backblast PWV Fire Department Black Ops Pelican Q 12.12.19”

Come count down to 2020 with Pelican at the Firehouse. This workout is inspired by a workout I did on my own in a hotel room in my underwear this summer. If that intrigues you or even if it repulses you come out and you will get better. Here’s a hint it’s not pickle pounders.Continue reading “Pre-Blast 12.12.19 Pelican Q PWV Firehouse”

I wanted to put a BlackOps on the calendar for Black Friday as I figured I wasn’t going to be able to get up for 5:30 AM workout the day after Thanksgiving. Also I was having serious JOMO around missing burpee football at the County so I could allow time for that at the end.Continue reading “Back Blast-Black Friday Ops @ The County 11.29.19 Pelican Q”

I put this black ops on the calendar for a couple of reasons. First after what I’m going to eat and drink today I know I’ll need a workout and there’s no way I’m getting up in time for the regularly scheduled one. Second I knew I was going to miss burpee football at theContinue reading “Pre-Blast Pelican Q-11.29 Black Friday Ops @ The County 7-8 am”

If you’ve never been to a heavy you should find one and go soon. It’s a good “break” to the normal nonsense we do at other WOs with little to no running, burpees, etc. This was my first heavy Q and it was the day before Halloween so I figured we could do some adultContinue reading “Back Blast 10/30 The Foundry @TheCounty”

Come out to the Heavy at the County and do some trick or treating with Pelican. There will be lots of tricks and a few treats. Bring gloves cause we will be doing coupon work. This should get you good and ready for Halloween night. SYITG

This was my second chance to Q and again I took on a Saturday at the Nest. There’s something to be said about starting your weekend off right with your F3 brothers that is hard to explain to anyone but this group. Anyway, 19 PAX show up for the Craft Fair and ended up stayingContinue reading “Pelican BB-The Nest 10/12”

I’ve been spending a lot of time at the nest with Big Bird.  You know what they say birds of a feather flock together. Bring gloves if you want as we will be doing a bit of coupon work. Come join the Pelican and get better.  SYITG

Like I said in my preblast, exhaustion NOW exhilaration LATER. It was exactly that, a pure physical and mental beat down to start our day. We’re better for it now!
