It was a very frosty 25 degree morning in the garages of three PAX this morning. Handbook, Frankenbaby, and Motor Boat (Q) made the choice to Do the Hard Thing and get out into the (virtual) Gloom. There was peer leadership, there was a COT, we were outdoors, open to all men, and free. SoundsContinue reading "BB: Virtual DRP @ The Boathouse, 12-2-20"

I originally had the Ghost Q for ToG but ended up having to miss it. So I got back on the schedule for tomorrow and we are gonna re-live Halloween week with the exact workout I had planned (except you already know I am Qing I guess). We will definitely be running around the OContinue reading "Pre-Blast Thursday 12/03/2020 – Temple of Gloom @ The O"

We'll be back on campus at St. Aloysius (Calendar still says Boondocks). We'll be run heavy tomorrow. No Coupons. We'll go long and short distances and throw some PT in between. SYITG -Fungi

I worked out Thanksgiving morning, and it was awesome. Great WO from Deuce, great fellowship, and it was my son's first F3 WO. He did pretty good, asked why these WOs were considered "hard", and then got named XLAX. Caught a TD in Burpee football. Great day, and then as great days go, OB ateContinue reading "The Hurt 11.28.20 @ Mutt with Old Bay"

Co-Q with Cochran and LePew PAX: Bulletin (R)Launchpad (R)Big BirdFungiAbacusCochran (Q)LePew (Q) It was cold. Black ice surrounded us. The wind howled. Eyes watered. Eyelashes froze. Fingers and toes were numb to a point to where they were nearly useless. Yet we got after it. LePew forgot to give the disclosure before the COP andContinue reading "BackBlast 12.1.20: The Planetarium @ The Boondocks"

Calling all PAX who are quarantined... YES you can get your DRP. Set up your computer in your garage or outside, and use the Zoom link below. Prove to yourself that out of the gloom does not mean out of the game. Start your day right by Doing The Hard Thing.For virtual workouts, you getContinue reading "PB: Virtual DRP @ The Boathouse 12-2-20: Out of the Gloom, BUT NOT OUT OF THE GAME"

It’s getting cold outside and it looks a lot like Christmas at Vets right now. All the more reason why YHC will get your heart up and running for 45 minutes at the tank tomorrow. NO COUPONS.

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 motivateContinue reading "12.2.20 Pre Blast-The Foundry @The County-BigBird Q"

Looking forward being at The Abyss as I Q The Escalator. I will make sure me move a little, work ,and move a little more. Bring a coupon, some gloves and a headlamp if you are afraid of running into something or someone. SYITG Jitterbug

No need to wait until next week to bask in that co-Q world. Start Advent off right with Cochran and LePew at the Boondocks. It's not going to be "warm" outside, so we are going to keep moving. No coupons necessary. SYITG.

My legs are still gassed from overworking them this weekend. Because of that, we're going to focus on arms and shoulders in the morning. Bring gloves and we'll grab coupons en route to the portico around back. SYITG Squid

Making my first trip out to Pleasantville in a while. Super stoked to get together with them county boys! I’ve got a really fun workout planned and a couple announcements to share with you. Come on out and bring a friend. Dress appropriately, NO COUPONS NEEDED!

The doors of St Pat’s reopen tomorrow morning. Nothing more fitting than a WO led by a Vets Site Q to get things back on track. Bring a Coupon, Gloves, and a Buddy. Yoga mats are optional but not recommended. SYITG Early Birds Get WORM

Yes, for the 3 of you reading this I know it is late...very late. But you don't understand, Black Friday also BCBS day, so there was some very important beer to purchase and as luck would have it, drink on Friday which has delayed the writing of this all important BB. I was pumped forContinue reading "BackBlast – 11.27.20 – The Baptizer at The Garden at North Posh"

Qing a rainy workout presents it’s challenges. You never know how many will show up and don’t really know how wet those that show up really want to get. The benefit of The Abyss is there really is very little cover. So, the men that showed up today knew they’d be getting wet. Disclaimers providedContinue reading "Backblast – 11/30/2020 – The Motivator at The Abyss"

The Saturday after Thanksgiving. The intent of this day is to hang up and Christmas decor around the house the M tells you to. Either finish what you have left from Black Friday or start because you did nothing on Black Friday. Either way, YHC wanted to get the blood flowing but not kill allContinue reading "11.28.2020 Back Blast – The Fog @ Posh"

Tomorrow’s WO will be a mixed bag. We will rotate around to hit all muscle groups. Some running, some coupon work, and some good ole fashioned core work. Get your Monday started out on the right foot. Bring a friend and a coupon. SYITG...Backflop

Tomorrow's weather looks stupendous. And there's nothing more I'd rather be doing than getting up early and joining the men of The Abyss on such a glorious day. I'd recommend a hat to keep the sunlight out of your eyes. Perhaps some sunscreen for those with sensitive skin. You may even want to bring aContinue reading "Pre-Blast – The Motivator @ The Abyss – 11/30/2020"

Pleasantville is probably my favorite place to post. It has a little bit of everything you could want - and then some. I just wish it was a little closer to home! But, when Holy Roller was in need of a Q the day after Thanksgiving, I knew it would be a great excuse toContinue reading "Back Blast – Wisteria @ Pleasantville – 11/27/2020"

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. So much food - and it's one of the only times where the food can actually touch when it is on my plate. Given it was Thanksgiving, I decided to give the PAX a little buffet to get them going.

Too much food Thursday? No biggie. Skip out Friday morning due to the sluggish feeling from all that food? No worries. YHC read on the internet a man burns 4x the normal amount of calories when he posts on Saturday mornings at Posh. No coupons needed tomorrow. Gloves if your hands get cold easily. SYITG!!

You know you had those Thanksgiving pants on yesterday, but now it's time to put them away. Get out to Bayside where we're going to work off a little of that turkey gut! You may want your gloves but you don't need any coupons. SYITG
