Preblast. 3/7. The agony at the County.

Since reading “freed to lead” and listening to the F3 Nation podcast more regularly, I appreciate the unique use of letters and numbers to carry ideas in the F3 Lexicon. Whether it is D2X (dolphin, Daffidil) or LDP (leadership development program) or exercises named after numbers (21s) the format always sticks somewhere in my brainContinue reading "Preblast. 3/7.

It was 9:30pm on Friday night, and I headed to bed. A few short hours went by, and it was time. 3:15am.

3/4/19 – Backblast – Posh – Nice and Slow Q

On Friday night, Huggies asked me to fill in for him at the Posh on Monday morning.  I said "yes" without looking at the weather.  When I finally looked on Sunday night, I worried that no one would show up.  I was totally wrong.  In fact, 13 HIMs showed up.

Simple. Brutal. Sweaty. Effective. The Murph is one of my favorite workouts, and since I got my new weighted vest, I tried to do this exercise several times, with some variations.

3-2-19 BackBlast- The Max @ Bayside- Saturday Sadie Q

I’ve been given the nickname “Saturday Sadie” by the Bayside PAX. For good reason.. as I rarely make it to a Saturday workout.

With the other 6 months I just don’tContinue reading "3-2-19 BackBlast- The Max @ Bayside- Saturday Sadie Q"
