Great turnout for my VQ at the County. Today's WO was wrapped around "interruptions" that happen in our lives. While we had interruptions of Manmakers throughout the workout, the focus was on reminding us that interruptions today can truly be blessings - all based on our perspective. As one HIM reminded, as we were talkingContinue reading "BackBlast 3/4/20 – Holy Roller VQ the Foundry @ the County"

Hoping to make this a memorable start for my VQ. I'll no doubt stumble through (that will be most of the memories), but here's a little about the plan. Not much running, not even much walking, but I didn't say no crawling. We'll grab a couple coupons each and get to work. Plan to keepContinue reading "PB – 3/4/20 – Holy Roller VQ the Foundry @ the County"

I know what you're thinking...Backdraft again?!?! Didn't he just Q like two weeks ago? You know you want to come out though...drag some tires, carry the "fuckets", listen to awesome music, and last but not least, get put down by a bunchy of snarky, middle aged A-holes! Where else can you have that kind ofContinue reading "03-04-20- The Heavy Blender @ The Mutt – Backdraft Q"

8-Count Bodybuilder As I was planning this WO I went back & forth multiple times as to what I wanted to do & where I wanted to do it.

In the spirit of the Lenten season, we will be giving up rest tomorrow. Bootcamp workout with some coupons thrown in. If you like to stretch, do that beforehand because we will be jumping right into it. SYITG Potter

Great rainy day to get out and play. PAXCI (Co-Q)PED (Co-Q)LocoGlen RossOld BayBlueprintFergieFrankenbabyPope I (C.I.) gave the disclaimer and we were off for a longish mosey to the basketball courts.

What better way to make my first visit to the Garden than by leading? I’m relying on intel from trusted sources that have told me the terrain is very flat and that most attendees will probably want a light easy workout, so that’s what I have planned. You should probably leave your running shoes andContinue reading "Preblast- The Cliffs at the Garden, Grinder Q"

Typically when I’ve Qd at The O I like to get off the pavement & in the grass, but given the rain & the likelihood of continued rain tonight into the morning you can go ahead & plan on being on the pavement.

Abacus has made famous the quote: “you only get wet once!” Today we got wet at North Posh, but I believe it was equal parts sweat and rain. It was 48 degrees and the rain started as soon as 0530 came upon us. 16 Men in the gloom - pitch blackness, hard rain, and anContinue reading "North Posh BackBlast – 03/02 – LePew Q"

It was a wet morning. Started off with stretching, then took a mosey to grab cinderblocks. Did 25 overhead presses, then 25 push-ups on cinder block. Once that was over we did partner carries. Drug each other from one light pole to the other light pole, then did 25 overhead air presses and 25 push-ups.Continue reading "BackBlast @ Yoshi. Incubator 3/2/20"

My first Q at the Mutt was also my first trip there. The IHC got me out of my comfort zone again which is great. A couple of my County Boys made the trip with me which helped my comfort level.

Come see who shows up. Either way it’ll be like pizza. Never bad.

Forecast is calling for plenty of rain. Bring something that you will stay dry in, we will be out in it. The idea behind this workout will be partner/team based! Bring your game face tomorrow, if UofL loses tonight, it’s going to be a Tough one. See you at South Posh

If you're on the fence about posting tomorrow because you need some rest to get the week started. I get that, rest is important (just not tomorrow) to the overall health of the human body. I've planned a bunch of resting and a little lifting at BIG MO tomorrow. If you're afraid to run 10Continue reading "2/2 BIGMO HEAVY at VETS!!!!!!!!"

North Posh has traditionally been the run-heavy AO and I’m going to respect that tradition. The rain will be a welcome part of the workout tomorrow because we will not stop the entire time, and it will help keep you cool. We will also be staying in formation so no man will be left behind;Continue reading "North Posh – LePew Q – 3-2-2020"

Weather: Chilly. Low 20's. PAX: Grinder, Fertile Myrtle, Cratchit, Jolly Rancher, Captain Crunchberry (Q). I did my best to give a full disclaimer, as we started to mosey.

We did a little COP there, consistingContinue reading "Backblast – 2.29.2020 – The Nest @ The County"

Seize the day! Every 4 years we get an extra day. Seize it, make this day extraordinary. If that isn't motivation enough, come out Saturday to see just how we will make the day extraordinary.  It might be cold, wear appropriate gear as needed to stay warm, and coupon work.  

So on Leap Day if a man turns down a marriage proposal from a woman tradition states you have to pay a penalty. I have no idea what that has to do with my workout tomorrow but thought I’d share.
