It's going to be cold so we are going to keep things moving. Expect to do some running around the park along with some coupon work. Be sure to bring gloves... unless you're a badass or enjoy frost bite. SnowDay

PAX: Fergie BOGO (DR) Violet Bueller (DR) Porkchop (Q)   Since we are having a work out the day after the beer ruck I didn't expect much of a turn out. I was certainly happy not to be working out alone however.  Also had two guys down range from North Carolina. After a quick helloContinue reading "Backblast October 19th at the O"

Catfish asks ... why do I always make everything a competition and I always lose... come out to North Posh to find out... it will be a bucket of FUN. Everyone who shows up will be a winner... except me... SYITG - Iceman

It’s been nearly 2 weeks since I’ve been in the gloom. I’ve missed it dearly and I can’t wait to bring the energy I’ve saved up to the BigMo!!! Bring gloves and something heavy to throw around. SYITG

In recognition of @Bulletin WO involved heavy and a sh## load of merkins. Weather was nothing but suck in the cold rain but NOTHING compared to the sacrifice @Bulletin and other courageous organ donors endure for the betterment and survival of others in great need.

I got back from an 8th grade class trip to Appalachia 5 hours ago.   I was punched in the face with perspective.  I will express my gratitude by dealing out pain and suffering tomorrow. You will be outside in the cold for just over an hour.  Bring running shoes, appropriate gear, and a positiveContinue reading "Pre blast 11/09 – Old Bay back at the Helm"

It's going to be cold in the morning so swing by the County to get warm. We'll keep moving the whole time so you won't have a chance to cool off. It'll be a full-body beatdown with some running, some pulling, some pushing, some lifting and some inappropriate mumblechatter. SYITG

They say do what you're uncomfortable doing right? Well, I've only Q'd The Foundry once before and in my critical opinion, it was lackluster and left something to be desired. So sign me up Alexa for another shot (long over due, I know...). That doesn't mean I won't be nervous. But you know what? SometimesContinue reading "11.6.19 Back Blast for The Foundry- BigBird Q"

Ever take some time to reflect on what you have accomplished in a year? Ever do that at a time that's not January the 1st? It's healthy to not just set goals to get better in the future and not to just be present in the moment but also to think about the wins youContinue reading "11.2.19 Back Blast @The Nest-BigBird-Q"

We decided to combine the PWVFD and Agony workouts today so we'd have a big group to send a message to our guy Bulletin who was donating a kidney this morning. At 5:29 we gathered and made a "best wishes" video to send to him before he went into surgury. He promptly responded so weContinue reading "BackBlast – PWVFD BlackOps – Part 2 11/7/19 Fungi Q"

In case you're on the fence, here are some reasons why you should come out to Long Run Park tomorrow @ 0500 and anytime at Polo Fields Clubhouse when you can: You're already up before 0500 anyway. So why not post 30 minutes earlier? Traffic is non-existent at that time of the gloom. You getContinue reading "Why Should You Post @ 0500?"

Get ready for some HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) at Vets tomorrow. Will be a full body workout with periods of explosive effort followed by some slower, deliberate movements. SYITG.

We came, we saw, we conquered! After a brief Viking warm up, we loaded the up our Viking ship with tools of destruction (coupons)!  We sailed to multiple sites in the land of the Mutt where we unloaded our ship and let the pillage and plundering began (partner based coupon exercises).  Once all 4 sitesContinue reading "Post Blast, The Mutt 11/7"

It has been nearly a year since I Q'd Norton Commons. We correct that tomorrow. We are going heavy on workouts. I don't care what shoes you wear, because we're not running. 0530. SYITG. Retainer.

After conquering the North (Posh), the “Viking ship” is coming tomorrow to conquer the Mutt.  Many years ago Viking ships required work to row the ship to get places.  This “Viking ship” will also require work to get places. We are going to voyage to many sites of the Mutt.  At each site we willContinue reading "Pre Blast, The Mutt 11/7"

Push yourselves to get up and come to the O tomorrow for a great workout to push all aspects of yourself in the morning.  You can overcome the rain, and you will make it through this workout and get better.  Challenge another to come join you and PUSH IT REAL GOOD!  Where my HC Hims?!
