Old Bay once told me that when you work out in the rain, you only get wet once. Gru and I will put that to test tomorrow morning at the 4-H Fairgrounds off Green Valley Rd in New Albany. It’s a very cool spot if you’re looking for a change of scenery. SYITG

''Twas the week before Christmas and all through the streets.. the Rucker's were rucking.... Ah fuck that. We are gonna hit more spots than that damn elf on the shelf. Requirements for Ruck Ruck or backpack with weight. GoRuck recommends 20lbs for those under 150lbs and 30lbs for those over. You're an adult. Do whatContinue reading "12.21.18 BEERUCK PB: You got a friend in me."

This is the time of year that I really enjoy rucking so I shot a text to a few Pax to see the interest level and got a few HC's so Star Child put out a PreBlast and it was official. Sidenote: I knew I would get a HC from Star Infant since his vaginaContinue reading "BB for BO Ruck at Big 4 Bridge 12/14/18"

Come join me at The O tomorrow morning at 0700 and wear gloves and a smile. It will be wet but warm and you'll be happy at the end. SYITG -Wham!

I promoted on my pre-blast that it was going to be leg day. I wasn't sure how this would go over and what kind of turn-out there would be. But, to my surprise there 16 other Pax looking for lower body enhancements to match what's going on up top. Pax: Airplane, Shank, PorkChop, Flo jo,Continue reading "12/13 Back Blast – The O"

Come on out to The County tomorrow for a face melter! Get into fighting shape with a good dose of pickle pounders and some light coupon work. Wear gloves, get a good nights sleep and eat your Wheaties before you show up!

DYN-O-MITE threw me for a loop with his workout on Monday almost mirroring mine. So I may or may not have changed it up.  I can say that there will be no coupon work, just old fashioned exercises and sprints.  Come out for my birthday Q!

Q: Diablo PAX: Zartan, OJ, Wham!, Violet, Gillispie, Tammy Faye Baker, Shank, Glen Ross, Diablo I am confident that all who take valuable time to read this BackBlast are, in the words of Doc Holiday, educated men. Accordingly, you’ll understand why I felt like Virgil guiding the PAX through the bottom circles of the InfernoContinue reading "Diablo #BackBlast for #BagOfWrenches at TheO 12/11/18"

Recently I was pointed in the direction of an interview with Navy Seal and all around badass, David Goggins.  His story is so far beyond belief, that he actually has to pull out records to make it believable.  Abusive childhood, racist encounters, 100 lbs overweight, lost weight in 3 months to apply for seals.  DidContinue reading "12/11 TheCounty BackBlast 21 PAX 1 FNG #KiloQ #EarnYourSunrise"

Tomorrow is going to be a fun one. Come out and challenge yourself. Syitg -OJ

A little chat with Sadie on Monday led to call a BO on Tuesday for Bayside..  Not a whole lot of time, inspiration for this one, so I pulled out the "meet in the middle " routine from a few Saturday's ago and moved the music to Xmas style.

Evolution. A topic that has ended friendships, started wars, and baffled humans since....forever. Come to the Tank for proof that evolution does in fact exist. Seriously, if you haven't been out to Vets yet, you need to get out there. It's arguably the site in town. #SYITG
