This PB comes on a day where many of us are reflecting on the horrific events of 9/11. I first want to acknowledge this day and those of you that have been impacted or know someone who has. These are the times that allow this group to showcase what we're all about - getting better, supportingContinue reading "Pre Blast – Russdiculous Q @ The Ruiner"

Come shake the rust off and get your feet moving with Backflop. We will be running with mixed in PT. Bring a coupon for some pre-running coupon work. It will be fun and I look forward to being back out to the Fog! SYITG - Backflop

It is hard to believe it has been 19 years since the attacks on America 9/11/01. The iconic twin towers, a symbol of what America stood for taken down to ash and rubble in minutes. As I awoke in my dorm room on September the 12th, classes cancelled, images of what happened flooding the tv,Continue reading "PB: The Nest @ The County 9/12"

This back blast is posted on behalf of Tidwell, a younger PAX who has made his mark on the County, particularly since workouts reopened in June. He's posted more often, is getting stronger, and is also getting more resilient toward the end of each workout as the year continues. Sept 1, 2020 was his secondContinue reading "Back Blast 1-Sept-2020 Tuesday the Loco at the County – Tidwell & Cratchit Co-Q"

As I mentioned in my PB, I would make mention of the alarming numbers of Veteran Suicides. Several years ago there was a push-up challenge. There were an average of 22 Veteran Suicides a day. So people were challenging to do 22 push-ups and so forth. The numbers haven’t appreciably changed. I was challenged byContinue reading "BB – 9/10/2020 the Inferno at the Station"

Jewel announced he needed a Q on 09/11 a few weeks ago when The Baptizer was still a BlackOps - and I jumped at the opportunity given the profound significance of the date. I know the IPC took place at The Garden today and having completed that nonsense on Monday at The County, I sympathizeContinue reading "Pre-Blast – Jolly’s FDNY Tribute on 09/11/2020 – The Baptizer @ The Garden"

All exercises and run distances will be 9.11 themed. We will definitely put in strong work, however, the focus of the day will be reflecting on the past and understanding our role for the future. Please bring a coupon, gloves and a Patriotic Attitude. Never Forget!

Thursday Thursday Thursday, Calling all HIMS calling all HIMS bring your self to the O tomorrow.

I was recently challenged by one of my early Mentors to do something to help bring awareness to the Alarming numbers associated with Veteran Suicide. We will start the morning with that and then jump into a ladder (what else would we do at the Firehouse?). Bring your coupon, gloves, mumble chatter and fleet feetContinue reading "Pre-Blast – Sept 10 – the Inferno at the Station – 5:30 – Kimble Q"

The eve of 9/11. The day before the world changed forever. It just-so-happens that I was in New York City on 9/11 and although it was 19 years ago, we all remember the day as if it were yesterday. I’ll be wearing my NYPD tee tomorrow to honor the incredible men and women that serveContinue reading "LePew’s PreBlast for The County – 9.10.2020"

Four HIMs graced the newly lit, one working lightpole AO that is Long Run Park. The PAX: Uncle Sam (R), Flip Flop (HBD), Squid (welcome back), & Mr. Hat (Q). I love BOYOs at the beginning of a WO to get the heart rate up. I'm also lazy when it comes to deciding how manyContinue reading "Escalator 9.9.2020 Backblast"

After a couple of years of being in then out and then back in the mix of F3, it seemed fitting to finally do a Q since I have sponged workouts from so many good men of F3 for the last couple of years. We started off with the typical warm-up although it was aContinue reading "DeVitto BB at The Foundry: 9/9/2020"

Ahhhh, the glorious Poshlands on a Wednesday morning. There has been a lot of blood(mine in particular), sweat, and from the sounds of the Douglas Hills clown car after last week, tears, shed at the bridge. Tomorrow shall be no different (other than the blood and tears part hopefully). We will have a beat downContinue reading "9.9.2020. PB The Bridge @ Posh"

So, I probably gave Dauber and Pelican a "complex" (hint, hint) as I try to figure out Word Press and provide a few nuggets re: the plan for tomorrow at the County. I am sure to get much "love" for it and my mediocre fantasy team (thanks, Gisele). All joking aside, come out for someContinue reading "PB: 9/9/20 at the County – “The Complex”"

The IPC Week 2 WO requires a 400m run, which we’re going to do in the top parking lot vs the bottom lot because the run can be done in 1 loop vs 2 loops. Due to this change, the conservation of effort (carrying your coupon up the Baptizer), & being mindful of time we’reContinue reading "IPC 2020 Week 2: Wheel of Misfortune at 🍀The Garden🍀 9.10.20 PreBlast"

After a personally disappointing finish to Week 1, YHC was determined to do better in Week 2. And, of course, its a rep count challenge rather than timed. No biggie, we are ready for this. I arrived early at Posh to measure out 25 yards, create an exercise board, and stretch. Well timed PAX arrivedContinue reading "BB 9.8.2020 IPC week 2 @ Posh"

So the IPC workouts are hard enough without having to think and try to figure out how to set them up and do them. When the video came up it was cool, it was a wheel with a spoke and some flags and stuff. But how are we going to fit 10-20 PAX in oneContinue reading "BB-IPC Week 2 at the County"

I LOVE Q'ing on a Saturday.

After the Iron Pax WO at The County this morning, there won’t be any coupon nor shoulder work tomorrow at the Boondocks. Running and Core exercises will be our focus. SYITG!

Tomorrow marks the 2 Year anniversary of the day that Abacus almost killed me on a blazing hot Saturday morning at the Big Four Bridge. But I'm still here and a better man for it. I'm in better shape now at 42 than I was at 22. (That's more of an indictment of how unhealthyContinue reading "Plumb Bob 2 Year Postiversary Q"
