To those 5 HIM that made it out for a Beastmode Monday morning workout...on 12/10..., my apologies on getting this out so late. And by late, I mean unacceptably late. As the workweek got underway, I succumbed to the demands of work, family, a brief moment of quiet time in the evening and rinse andContinue reading "12.10.18 Silo at N Posh BB"
Back Blast – Vincent Q @ the Tank 12/19
This was my first Q at Veterans since the new section of the park opened. Seeing the row of illuminated flags, still standing at half mast, is a beautiful and humbling sight! If you have not posted there, put it on your list and get there soon. It is worth the drive. And the PAXContinue reading "Back Blast – Vincent Q @ the Tank 12/19"
Zoolander V-CountyQ PreBlast
My quest to post AND Q at all of the fine AO's throughout @F3Louisville is getting 1 step closer to completion, as I venture out to the County for a pre Christmas beat down. I'll probably bring some tricks from the Mutt, and will try to have some original ideas(jab. Not a jab). I mayContinue reading "Zoolander V-CountyQ PreBlast"
Preblast – 12/22 Grinder Q, The Hurt @ The Mutt
Who in the world would offer to Q the morning after a ruck? Well, where I’m from, we call that a Backdraft (❤️ U, Nick), and YHC was the only one dumb enough to go for it. So, in honor of my dumb decision, I’m planning a bunch of dumb stuff for us to doContinue reading "Preblast – 12/22 Grinder Q, The Hurt @ The Mutt"
Back Blast The Blender 12/19/18 Zima Q
In my first year of F3, I haven't lost any weight (that's on me), my mile time is probably the same and I still struggle with 20+ merkins at a time, but F3 has had a profound effect in my life way beyond the Gloom. I've been in and out of gyms and various bootContinue reading "Back Blast The Blender 12/19/18 Zima Q"
Pre-Blast: 12.20 Temple of Gloom @ The O
It’s time to ignite the fire of Baseball’s Hot Stove and turn the Temple of Gloom into a Field Of Dreams. Be prepared to channel your inner “Willie Mays Hayes” as you leg out a few base hits or do some merkins if you hit a pop up. Make sure to bring your gloves becauseContinue reading "Pre-Blast: 12.20 Temple of Gloom @ The O"
1 Yr Later F3 is…BB for the Bridge 12.19.18
Kilo first posted with F3Louisville on 7.19.17, which as it turns out was a very impactful day...for Kilo & me. You may be wondering why the hell am I talking about Kilo, but the reason is simple: Kilo HL me & it wasn’t easy. I remember talking to Kilo after the first time he postedContinue reading "1 Yr Later F3 is…BB for the Bridge 12.19.18"

One of our most solid PAX members - StarChild is not quite 100% thanks to an ailing back. Therefore, I have offered to take the Q on Wednesday at the Tank! I can promise you we will not do 100 SSH's. There may be running, there may be planking and there will be some nutritionContinue reading "Vincent Q – The Tank @ Veteran’s Park 12/19/18."

1 Year Later: The Bridge PreBlast 12.19.18
https://youtu.be/2wkKh1q3W8A To some being a part of F3 for a year isn’t a big deal, but for others it is. The reasoning is different for each individual PAX...1stF? 2rdF? 3ndF? For me, I am the latter & it’s due to all three of these components. A year ago a dear friend convinced me to takeContinue reading "1 Year Later: The Bridge PreBlast 12.19.18"
