As you might remember from my pre-blast, this was my first...oh forget it...it was clear during COP that none of these otherwise exceptional PAX in attendance had read the pre-blast. Back to that in a moment.  Let me restart from the top...10 PAX in total arrived and circled around the Vets seal where the disclaimer was given, includingContinue reading "Back-Blast Friday 07/10/2020 – Dauber at The Chopper"

I picked up the Q for the Runier since I have not been out here on a Saturday. I feel like I need to get a better feel for The O before Convergence (have you HC'd for that yet????). So in order to get ready for July 18th, we are going to do a littleContinue reading "7/11/20 PB The Ruiner @ The O"

Well, it seems that the Mutt needed another Q not named Glen Ross or Backdraft, so I drew the short straw and took the mission. I have a Q designed that may make you think, "who did he steal this from?" This isnt your normal Tabata rich, 17 minute Q from your boy. May haveContinue reading "The hurt at the Mutt- Nugget Q"

Bring your coupons tomorrow - going to be getting a Dora beatdown focused on upper body, side abs, and legs. It’s gonna be awesome!

It was muggy as I drove through the streets of Pleasantville. Got lost... again. May need to install a Bat Signal. Found the amphitheater and walked around the park, counting light poles. What else are you supposed to do when you’re 30 minutes early? HIMs began arriving. Jitterbug (R), Holy Roller (R), Double Down (R),Continue reading "Backblast—7.10.2020–Wisteria @Pleasantville—Harbaugh’s Casino Night"

It has been a while since I posted at Vets and this is actually my first Q there, so I am pretty pumped up to bring "Dauber to the Chopper" on Friday 0530.  I'll be bringing with me a fast-paced, high-tempo, full-body beatdown.  Heart rate will be elevated and we will likely mix in aContinue reading "Pre-Blast Friday 07/10/2020 – Dauber at The Chopper"

LaGrange road traffic jam as the County boys were waiting for a train to cross right at 5:26 Knew it was going to be a good morning when I got about 4 texts as I sat at the railroad tracks trying to get to the County. Seems I wasn’t the only one who was stuck.Continue reading "BB-Pelican Q @ the Agony 7.9.2020"

Going for a turkey at the Abyss with 3 in a row. I will have some fresh “stuff” for tomorrow. Don’t miss it...start your Friday off right! And bring a coupon. SYITG Backflop Q

When all else fails, the age old advice to "keep it simple stupid" remains relevant. The intent behind today's WO was to keep it simple and focus on the heart. At 72 degrees and 97% humidity, the PAX was sure to sweat today.

Animals and roads seldom mix well. In the vast majority of (witnessed) cases, the animals are doing one of two things: lying still or moving fast. We attempted to SAFELY recreate that scenario today. PAX were the animals either staying still or moving fast. Foley Ave was the street that would be our venue. PAX:Continue reading "Back Blast “Road Kill” 9-Jul-2020 Thursday the Inferno at the Station 05:30 Crock Pot Q"

Las Vegas invades Pleasantville. We’ll cover some ground and play some games in between. No coupon needed. Gloves at your discretion. SYITG!

PAX: Hush Puppy, Pelican, Dauber, Meter Maid, Focker, Crachit, Crockpot, Overflow (VQ) At 5am hush puppy gave me a nice greeting with a “what’s up overflow?” We then proceed to head off Beulah church road to the Snyder freeway over to the county. We got there and we were the 2nd one in attendance, IContinue reading "Back-Blast Wednesday 07/08/2020 The Foundry – Overflow’s Rocky-inspired VQ @ The County"

Old Bay recently tweaked his back a smidge.  He also may or may not have started a solo HDHH at 2 PM today. So, tomorrow will be running, interrupted by merkining, squating, stretching, awesoming, shit-talking, and handsoming.  Maybe some other surprises, but no burpeeing or bending. That's it.  That's the pre-blast. If this sounds likeContinue reading "Old Bay at the Mutt 07/09/20"

There had been talk of starting a black ops (and soon to be a permanent AO) in Indiana since the beginning of 2020 with a start date in early April.  We all know what happened instead. Once the restrictions started to let up and we started to get more comfortable with getting out in theContinue reading "Back Blast BO at Chapel Lake Park"

When I arrived I noticed there were already a ton of PAX that had showed up for my Q. I thought to myself, heck yeah people love them some Backflop. But much to my surprise, they were mostly all women. Ha! So we now share the space with an early morning women’s WO group thatContinue reading "Back-blast The Incubator @ The Poshlands 7/6/20"

I'm leading the workout at the O tomorrow. Just looked at the calendar to see I'm up against Crockpot, Kilo, Old Bay and Pelican. Seems we got a nice little Thursday planned. I know I won't see any of those guys, but maybe I'll get a chance to see you? Standard stuff for tomorrow (i.e.,Continue reading "Temple of Gloom PreBlast – CI Back in Action"

Get out to the County tomorrow for some Tabata and other stuff...will be some lightish running. Coupons needed and gloves strongly suggested. SYITG Pelican

What meal is in the Crock Pot?In an attempt to create a workout analogy of 'road kill' (as safely as possible), expect to spend time either lying still or running for your life during the Inferno tomorrow. If done properly we should all feel like we got run over by a fire truck without actuallyContinue reading "Pre Blast “Road Kill” 9-Jul-2020 Thursday the Inferno at the Station 05:30 Crock Pot Q"

A young mobile, agile and hostile Pelican The Boondocks is an awesome AO, with a great group of HIM who call that place home. I try to go there every few weeks and Q there every couple of months. Knowing these PAX I knew I had to bring it and wanted to bring something IContinue reading "Backblast-Pelican Q-Planetarium 7/7/20"

As always, it was another great morning with the PAX at the County.  I arrived a little early to set up some of the LED flashing lights with the exercises at the various stations around campus.  I ran into Crock Pot as he was gathering some coupons for PAX that don't yet have their own. Continue reading "Back Blast – Circuit Work at the Loco – 07/07/2020"

PAX:  Nice 'N Slow, Nino, Storm Trooper, Huggies, Minnow, Bulletin (R), Cochran (Q) I tried to stay true to North Posh's original run-centric mission statement, and kept us moving this (humid) morning.
