It's that time of year again when the #fartsack strikes hard because of weather.....the time when we all need to hold each other accountable to get out, get better and get stronger. That's what 11 PAX did at the Foundry....we sharpened each other like Iron sharpens Iron! PAX: Devito, Gilligan, Brown Water, Crockpot, Dauber, Backflop,Continue reading "BB 12/18 FOUNDRY @The County w/ WILDflower"

Thriving or surviving. Given the choice, I don’t think there’s any question which option every PAX member would choose. It’s the vision & the goal of Kilo, Diablo, Catfish, & myself for the Region to THRIVE within ALL 3 Fs in 2020. This challenge is meant to jumpstart the acceleration of thriving as soon asContinue reading "2020 IRON-HORSE CHALLENGE"

0530 Collins Highschool 19 degrees....we will stay warm. SYITG

Well boys, my last Q wasn't great...I admit it.  It had been a crappy week, and I didn't prep as much as the men of F3Lou deserve.  Not virtuous leadership. I'm gonna make up for it tomorrow.  Put down your peppermint mochachinolattefrappe, bundle up, and come out and get wrecked with me ITG. We willContinue reading "Old Bay Q at the Extender – preblast for 12/19/19."

Tomorrow's my birthday, and I only want two things: 1. a whole bunch of used sleeping bags for Jitterbug's Wayside F3 drive; and 2. a bunch of friends to do a hundred bodybuilders with. Come out to the Garden tomorrow and bring me my gifts. We'll stay off the grass. 0530. SYITG.

We will mold and shape each other tomorrow. It will not be easy, but we will get stronger. Bring gloves. WF

So this is actually two days before the 2-year mark of my first post, but my first post was the Bridge at The Posh so we’re going to celebrate a little prematurely. If you haven’t been to one of my 50+ Qs over the last two years I encourage you to come out tomorrow &Continue reading "2 Year Postversary at The Bridge 12.18.19 PreBlast"

Bring your ruck a sandbag if you have one and a beast mode attitude. You’ll be thirsty for some fellowship at the end of this one. RuckOps 9-10 PM RecBar 10-???

North Posh 12/16/19 BB. Pax: Huggies, Carlton, Retainer (QIC) We love doing ladders in F3, where we gradually add one exercise to a list of exercises, with each round separated by a sprint. Since North Posh is run-heavy, I thought we'd run a reverse ladder and do rounds of just one exercise, with each roundContinue reading "Beastmode Backblast"

No matter how late I write this, it was a memorable workout that I will not forget.  The weekend after Thanksgiving, the weather was less than ideal, and two HIMs joined me in the gloom for some good PT, quality second F, and the right amount of third F. Who was there? Vincent, Tron, PKContinue reading "Backblast – 11/30/2019 Alphabet Soup"

Pelican gave me the green light and was fully supportive of “Something New” for my VQ. I was really hoping the PAX would bring an open mind and have a willingness to try some new things. The PAX was truly awesome. All 16 PAX were engaged, focused, and completely into learning new movements. The PAXContinue reading "12.14.19 Back Blast –  The Nest @ The County-Big Bugs VQ"

Beautiful clear but cold December morning. As the disclaimer was proclaimed the temp hovered around 19. But that didn’t stop the group from getting after it with a warm up of SSH, Grass Grabers, mountain climbers, Michael Phelps and Kendra Newman’s 13 men were broken into two teams for a fun competition. After a rocky start toContinue reading "Back Blast 12/11/19 The Foundry @ The County Leprechaun VQ"

This was my first Q at the O. It was 42 degrees. While the rain had stopped, it was wet and swampy. Mama's Boys had agreed to Clown Car with him. He came into the meetup spot hot but would I expect anything different? I was glad he agreed to help me setup my couponContinue reading "Backblast – The Ruiner – 12/14/2019"

As expected, it was cool and rainy. Also as expected, the Bayside PAX really pushed through the elements to give it all they had at the workout. I haven’t Q’d in a little while and couple that with trying some new things made for a few awkward moments along the way. Push all of thatContinue reading "BackBlast: The Max 12/14"

It will be a crisp morning with showers likely. I know this won’t stop the PAX at Bayside from coming out and putting in work. We will be doing an upper body heavy workout with the aid of coupons. Come prepared to sweat and work hard! -BB
