The PB banter on Slack put Bob's desire to go fast up against his desire to slay mythical monsters in the gloom. I felt pretty confident that the proverbial Bob's of the 'ville would much rather get their motor runnin' than they would smash krakens. It was immediately evident that the PAX are a bunchContinue reading "BB Squid Q – The Fog @ Posh 09.19.2020"

IPC WOs are tough. IPC WOs on Monday's are pretty stupid. IPC WOs on Monday after a long rule on Sunday are really stupid. But, whenever I feel sore or tired, a good 'ol fashion beat down continues to be the best medicine. So, onward and upward. Got a text from Pelican at 5:07am suggestingContinue reading "Back Blast – IPC Week #4 at The County – 09/21/2020"

Come out to see what the Boondocks has to offer. We will be under clear skies and the stars will be shinning bright. Get ready for some running and station work...a good ole Backflop special. No coupons needed. SYITG, Backflop Q

Man, the boys came out on Saturday. 28 Bobs strong. What an awesome morning, albeit, a little chilly. The mumblechatter was strong at the start as the PAX waited for0700. I told myself I wanted to bring the heat for this workout... a little Garden flare if you will. Then this happened... Worm: "Is thisContinue reading "Backblast 9.19.20 – The Nest @ The County w/ Jewel"

Saturday on September 19 was the American Heart Association Virtual Heart Walk. I did 2.5 miles with the family and some friends at Pope Lick Park, which was great. Beautiful weather recently and it was great to be able to enjoy it. But, given the virtual nature of walk this year I wanted to doContinue reading "Back Blast – Super Samuel Superman Ruck – 09/20/2020"

We will be doing the "Lake of Fire!". This time it will be on a new lake, with a paved, lit path (both are new to North Posh) No coupons Gloves optional

Come out to The Abyss to help me begin another trip around the sun. This workout will truly be You vs You where failure is the only option. Bring a coupon. Gloves and party hat if you’re feeling frisky. SYITG!

Looking forward to starting off the week with a Q at Posh tomorrow. There will be a little “O” flavor but we’ll keep it simple with a good ol’ fashion full body beat down as we focus on keeping our heart rate up while we explore the park. No coupons, gloves recommended. SYITG. -Russ

Tomorrow at the Vet we're going to continue with the Ruck PT workouts to get us ready for GrowRuck. However, if you're not doing GrowRuck or you don't have a ruck, don't let that stop you from joining the fun. After last week's mumblechatter about Jamie Lee Curtis, who knows what it's in store forContinue reading "Pre-Blast 9/21/20 Big Mo at Vets"

The August Ruck was a “Taste of the Tough”. The October Ruck is the “Grow Ruck”. Both were difficult yet rewarding. The current IronPax challenge is also tough yet rewarding. For the September Ruck, Mama’s Boy and I wanted to provide something that has a little more focus on the Fellowship (don’t get too comfortable,Continue reading "The FIREBALL Ruck with Alexa and Mama’s Boy – 9/25"

Man, time flies. My first post at The County was my 3rd post ever, just over a year ago on 9.2.19. Didn't know a soul, and they didn't know me. It didn't matter, they were incredibly welcoming, even Dauber. Especially Pelican and Big Bird. That's why The County has been my unofficial 2nd home (asContinue reading "Pre-Blast 9.19.20- The Nest @ The County"

The workout was inspired by a song I heard on the radio this morning. I have taken a little artistic liberty with the lyrics to provide a preview of what we will do. "These hills are made for runnin', and that's just what we'll do. Come to the Ruiner on 9.19 and bring your runnin'Continue reading "Pre-Blast 9.19 The Ruiner @ The O"

In digging through some old stuff in the basement, YHC stumbled across an old pile of books containing some “Choose Your Own Adventure” titles. Thought this would be a great way to get all of the PAX involved in a WO. Questions were created and corresponding exercises were selected based on the answers. Pretty simpleContinue reading "09/17/2020 Back Blast ToG @ The O"

PAX: Catfish, Huggies, Mr Hat, Harbaugh, Uncle Sam It was a cool morning in the 50s, low humidity, a perfect day for the IPC. Although the workout is simple, I arrived early to block off an area in the parking lot to do the merkins and squats so PAX didn't have to cross back andContinue reading "Backblast 9/18 IPC Week 3 at the Abyss"

The Station was poppin' this morning....no doubt about it.  Great mumblechatter, great energy, great music, everyone had a great time.  Just like a Pelican Q (except the opposite).  We got off to a fast start even before 0530 with Moab and Seal Pup arriving for their combined 173rd workout since their first post on Saturday.  SquidContinue reading "Back-Blast Thursday 09/17/2020 – Inferno @ The Station"

Come out for a Backflop part 2 of 3 at Pleasantville tomorrow. You will be in for a treat. We will run a bit, do some PT, and stretch our muscles. No coupons needed. SYITG, Blackflop Q

Come and start your weekend right @ The Baptizer. You do not need to bring a coupon, just bring your comfortable athletic shoes to cover some ground, gloves if you want and a desire to get better. We should have great weather and The Baptizer hill will keep your heart moving! SYITG - Wide Right

What a perfect morning to get better! This was somewhat of a rinse and repeat from my Q a couple of weeks ago and turned out to be a great start to the day! PAX: Old Bay, No Show, DiGiorno, Glen Ross, Bussschh, Fridge, Whamo (R), Tiger, Windshield, Etto, Ronnie Beaver, Soft Top, Larry FlyntContinue reading "BB – The Extender @ Le Mutt – 9/17/20"

Twas the night before a Friday... and your QIC was stirring about. Rummaging around and making wienkes all through the day. Pondering and chewing which exercises will provide the most pain for the HIM throughout their weekends. Come out to the chopper and see what’s in store, bring a coupon, some gloves and a canContinue reading "PB: 9/18 @ THE CHOPPER W/ TONY MALITO"

It was a great morning to get out, perfect weather. The group was disappointed that they couldn't get to play with my balls, or steer my ship, but they found out that Viking can still deliver the goods without the gimmicks/toys. We ended up traveling around to different sites of the county, each with thisContinue reading "Post Blast – Viking @ the county 9/17"

So you won't get to play with my balls, or steer my ship, but we will venture out and around. No coupons will be needed, but there will be individual team work. Don't know what I mean by individual team work, well then come find out and enjoy the total body blast! Viking

The choice is yours. Get up and get better or not. Tomorrow at the O all those in attendance will have chosen to get better. Make sure you’re one of them (and bring that FNG you’ve been working on for a while). No coupons needed! SYITG Stick Up

No surprises at The Station tomorrow.  If you have ever been to one of my Qs, you know what to expect...we will move around the Station grounds quite a bit (i.e. running & such) and keep the heart rate high.  No coupons.  SYITG - Dauber

Q: Diablo PAX: (13) Brown Water, Brown Tail, Focker, Moab, Cartman, Pelican, Holy Roller, Honeydew, Launch Pad, Asian Zing, Giselle; Dauber, Diablo Man, I arrived at The County this fine morning with perfect weather, an old school workout, a loud speaker, and a solid playlist from Rocky training montages, Kid Rock, and Motley Crue. IContinue reading "Diablo BackBlast The Foundry at The County 9/16/20"

We started the morning with a 6AM pre Fog ruck. Dauber, Meter Maid, No Nuts, and YHC was there for the ruck. We got about 3 miles in. Good work fellas. I was happy to be back out at the Fog. It had been about 6 months since I was last at Posh on aContinue reading "BB – The Fog @ Poshlands 9/12/20"

I woke up to a cool and crisp morning...51 degrees out my way in Crestwood. In preparation (while dreaming of the WO) for today’s Q, I wanted to do something that did not involve Merkins or Squats. I wanted to keep the PAX moving the whole time with the least amount chest/bicep work. We didContinue reading "BB – Escalator @ The Abyss 9/16/20"

So last week when I Q’d the day after IPC I said I never would do that again. Little did I realize that I had already signed up to Q the Boondocks this week the day after IPC Week 3. Ok I totally realized it but whatever. If you haven’t been to the Boondocks beContinue reading "BB Pelican Q @ the Boondocks 9.15.20"

Get ready for some exercise stations and interval running. We will focus on core and legs, with most of the exercises geared to raise your heart rate. No coupons needed. Come out and join me...SYITG, Backflop Q
