(Pictured above is Buschhhhh at the start of his first suicide) I wish I could say this BB is a day late because it’s an incredible read, but that’s not the case. When I signed up to Q the Blender on 6.19.19 about 4-5 weeks ago my schedule was wide open at work & atContinue reading "Blender Sloppiness 6.19.19 BackBlast"

A perfect morning was provided and the Bayside HIMs took full advantage. This has been one of those weeks where I’ve just felt stressed and frustrated with all that has gone on. Busy work schedule, sick kids, sick wife, etc, etc. This Q was a great opportunity for me to work some of that outContinue reading "BackBlast: The Big Kapowski 6/20"

It’s probably going to be wet. It’s probably going to be muggy. It’s definitely going to be tough. SYITG! -BB

Prepare yourself for some buzzword mania, ultimate accountability, and to give ALL YOU'VE GOT on Every. Single. Exercise. I'm bringing the heat on more than one level, and I promise, you won't want to miss it.

Tomorrow morning looks like some chances of rain - but that never stopped you before so I hope you won't use it as an excuse to not join me at The County for some Agony. We will be doing some coupon work so bring gloves and a can-do attitude. We will also be doing someContinue reading "Pre-Blast – Agony @ The County with Jolly Rancher"

Is the heat getting to ya??? Tired of getting yelled at for your 'damn WO clothes stanking up the laundry room?' Looking for a good reason to wear a banana hammock??? Then boy do I have a good deal for you!!! POOL PARTY!!!! Come one, come all!!! To Glen Oak's pool this Friday at 5:30am!Continue reading "POOL PARTY!!!! #Blueops #Legit"

A few weeks ago I led a workout at the chopper. It was hard, and I received a lot of positive feedback about it. So why not do the same workout but add in the bridge? I've been planning this for weeks! Even before I was on the Q calendar at Posh. Well, my planContinue reading "Back Blast the Bridge 6/19. Leave well enough alone"

Believe it or not, it was not raining this morning as nine PAX joined me for a TANK style beatdown.  Drysdale, Greenwich, Hot Wheels, Tony Malito, OJ, Meatball, Sweet Tart, Johnny on the Pot, McAfee and Vincent (Q) all got better this morning.  I made it to the VET a few minutes early to seeContinue reading "Back Blast – Vincent Q – the TANK!"

I haven't posted at St. Pat's yet, but I've been told it's the best. So I'm pulling out what I think is the hardest weinke that I've ever Q'd, to see if I can impress the PAX (and maybe get invited to their Slack channel). O530 in the Garden. SYITG.

PAX: Plumb Bob, Snowman, Old Bay, Zartan, Grinder, Q (All) Looking at the Q calendar for this morning, there were lots of great options, none of which I felt I could do in my current condition. My current regimen includes showing up about a half hour before the workout to warm up and stretch, soContinue reading "BO – 6/19 at the O…That’s what friends are for."

Vincent has the Q tomorrow. It may be dry or it may be wet. Around here these days, I am betting on wet. Regardless we will get a lot accomplished. Come out to the gloom and get better.

23 Pax got their share of burpees and miles. Conditions: awesome Pax: Bulletin, Speed Bump, Dutch Oven, Short Circuit, Viking, Cold Call, Pork chop, Solo, Crock Pot, Gilligan, Jerry Maguire, Meyer Maid, Catfish, Fergie, Giselle, Double Down, Gremlin, Amelia, Little Jerry, Fungi, Abacus, Milton, Airplae -Q Quick mosey and circle up SSH IC, Slow grassContinue reading "Back Blast the Agony 6/13"

Pax: Snowman, Worm, Plumb Bob (Q) Weather: Chance of rain but none during the workout, slight breeze, slightly humid, 68deg The Workout: I was initially afraid that I wouldn't have enough stations to accommodate everyone. With only 3 Pax braving the almost perfect weather we had, those fears proved to be pointless. I set upContinue reading "6/17/19 Heavy at the Vet Back Blast"

Don't be afraid of no.... Come out and have some special moments with your 2.0s. When one talks about making memories, that's where it's at!! And don't forget, when all else fails, if someone asks you if you're a god....You Say Yes!!!

As expected, Vikings don't always sharpen their axes before they head into battle.  I'll just go ahead and say that Viking is already planning the re-match.  So the first Team Cowboy vs. Team Viking beat down is in the books and to the victor goes the back blast.  As they say, the winners always writeContinue reading "BB 6/17/19 – The Silo @ North Posh – Team Cowboy vs. Team Viking"

Of the last 3 times I’ve posted, 2 of the WOs were “competitions”. I like this idea because I think more often than not, in these scenarios we push ourselves harder than usual...because losing sucks. I don’t know exactly what we’re doing yet, but it will be competition based. I suggest wearing off-road shoes if youContinue reading "The Blender 6.19.19 PreBlast"

When I pulled into St. Patrick’s at 0522 this morning there were 2 cars in the lot...neither of which belong to Huggies. A few minutes passed & a few more cars pulled in...still none of which belonged to Huggies. I text him, “You good?” By 0529 there was no response & it was evident weContinue reading "St. Pats BO 6.18.19 BB by Nino???"

Q: Diablo PAX: (11) Thumbtack, Fanny Pack, Glaucoma, Meter Maid, Scuba Steve, Birdie, Banana Bread, Shuttlecock, Charolais, Schotzie, Diablo Did you know that Saved By The Bell was originally called Good Morning, Ms. Bliss, and set in Indiana instead of California? With no AC Slater? No Jesse Spano and her caffeine pills? Well, now youContinue reading "Diablo BackBlast for Bayside BlackOps 6/18/19"

No stoping for 45 minutes...Unless you earn it. 05:30 sharp.

There will be hills and coupons, but don't be scared. There are always ways to modify.  Bring gloves if you got em.  SYITG

I've noticed that since the weather has been warmer the workouts have gotten harder. Maybe it's a coincidence, I don't know. Either way I've been inspired and I'm looking forward to The County tomorrow. Come out and challenge yourself. -Catfish

I'm excited to take the Q out at Bayside. Some strong HIMs out there who I don't get to see as often as I'd like. If you turn out for this one, I assure you that: You will work hard; You will be sore; and, You will get better. SYITG Diablo

PAX - Glen Ross, PED, Fergie, Fall Guy and Vincent (Q).  Weather - 68 degrees which is pretty cool but with all of the rain, the air was damp and heavy.  It did not take long for the sweat to start pouring.  Gear, New Balance running shoes,  Black Asics running shorts and a light blueContinue reading "BBlast – Black Ops @ the “O” 6/17"

PAX: Airball, Jitterbug (R), Meatball, and SnowDay (Q). Weather: 48 Degrees and Clear. Being that we had the capture the flag ruck to look forward to, I kept this one somewhat simple and easy. Nothing too intense or heavy. We started with a quick warm-up consisting of SSH's, Abe Vigodas, Kendra Newmans, and leg stretching.Continue reading "BackBlast – The Chopper – 6/14/19 – SnowDay Q"
