Pope didn’t wear sleeves, YHC was concerned for his safety, CI is a HIM and lent pope his jacket.  That’s why we aren’t your average workout group.  We have a PAX member stubborn enough to wear no sleeves and shorts over the bridge in -5* wind chills, and another Pax member kind enough to sacrificeContinue reading "1/5 Ruck training Back Blast 7 Pax @Big4"

Oh hello there.  Thanks for stopping by. What are you up to these days? That's great. Oh, Me? I'm just putting the finishing touches on my weinke for tomorrow's workout.  Coming together real nice.  Got the mosey to the basketball courts on there.  Got some exercises on the tennis courts. Maybe even go over toContinue reading "Preblast: Tron Q @ #TheHurt"

I’ve been to this park 100 times over the past 5 years as a Jtown resident.  That being said, I’ve never been at 5am.  A few observations; it’s dark (like no lights dark), really quiet, with a spectacular view on clear mornings.  The park sits a bit higher than the city of Jtown, so you’reContinue reading "1/4 BackBlast Black ops @ Charlie Vettiner #TheHue"

To the best of my knowledge, there exists a ladder that the PAX has not climbed, or at least has not climbed in awhile.  It is a ladder of a biblical dream.  It is a ladder that provides an ascetic path, or perhaps successive steps, toward excellence.  Curious?  Interested?  We are going to climb suchContinue reading "The O #Ruiner Preblast 1/6/18"

Tee times still available so HC/book now. Ruck will start at 5:45 on hole 1. We will finish up at 6:45 to give everyone time to head back to the O/Mutt. **If it snows, we can just sled down hole 5. https://media.giphy.com/media/WndRjqGHeKSYg/giphy.gif Syitg OJ

A total of 11 PAX made it out in the gloom for a burpee beatdown. Q- Vincent, Gillespie, Scratch, Red Roof, Sully, O.J., Nugget, GlynRoss, Cardinal, Bean Counter and Mayberry we're present and accounted for! Side Note, I did get a message from Cutlass at 5:12am. He hated to miss but was on an internationalContinue reading "1/4/18 BackBlast @the”O” #Burpees"

The weather was supposed to be a balmy 11° this morning, so #thebridge planned to have a Poshland’s picnic. Well the weather did not cooperate and the only thing in the double digits was our PAX!! And here it goes.... Methane -Q, PAX: Tool Time, Dunphy, Ice Man (R), Boozer, Gypsy, El Diablo, Glaucoma, LittleContinue reading "Picnic in the Parklands"

We are gonna throw some concrete around and get huge. #gitsome

Pope made us run 16 gassers this morning at the Mutt. Running will be minimal tomorrow, burpees.... Not so much!!

12 of Louisville’s finest philosophical minds (Pinky Pie, Vincent, Mouth, Mad Cow, Backdraft, Buscccch, Glen Ross, Spreadsheet, Tron, Nugget, Wham!, and Pope) gathered at 0530 today at the blue ribbon school for an in-depth discussion of metaphysics. Tasty mocha chinos and cafe lattes spurred us on a stimulating debate, including the fundamental nature of man’sContinue reading "Why am I here? – Backbkast 1/3/18 #theblender"

So we tossed out the idea this morning at #theblender to try and collect as many coats/ jackets that we could over the next 4 days.  This past fall, we did a signifanct fundraising event for the St John Center for homeless men.  Well, they need more help and I’m asking F3 Louisville to stepContinue reading "72 Hour Coat Drive"

Follow red arrows when turn into park off Easum.  Park at yellow spot on map next to playground and tennis courts.   0530-0615 wear a headlamp please   -Kilo

With a feels like temp of -7, I knew we had to get going and keep moving.  9 PAX made it out of their fartsacks to join me in the gloom and I did not want to let them down.  Here is what went down. PAX: Duece, GlenRoss, Zima, Wham-o, MadCow, Spreadsheet, BackDraft, Geppetto, ZartanContinue reading "1.2.18 #Rooster BackBlast: Merci Buckets"

Last minute decision to put this together.  Decided on half ruck/ half mixed workout.  Got to the O at 7:50 and was the only car at the entire park.  Not sure I’ve ever seen that before.  The other showed up and we got started at 8 Pax: 4, Amelia, Cardinal, Glen Ross, Pope Conditions: Clear,Continue reading "New Years Day BackBlast @TheO"

Lofty goals and resolutions have been tossed about in the last few weeks. Come out tomorrow to prove that you are willing to put in the work to accomplish them. We will all get better together. Who: All HIMs Where: HT fields When: 0530 What: Bootcamp Workout Why: Because in order to get better youContinue reading "1.2.18 #Rooster PreBlast: Start your year with a plan"

I was a little nervous on how this post would go.  I had to get the PAX to warm up quick and did not want to waste a lot of time explaining the different exercises.  After waking up and seeing the frost, I was pretty confident things would be ok.  Frost = NO wind.  WindContinue reading "BB 01/01/2016. #theincubater. 11 HIMS took 2018 by the burpee. #icantfeelmyfeet"

Whether the photo is from 1955 or 2017, F3 teammates have inspired individuals in 2017 nonetheless. A year end workout and wrap up are in order. It’s a long read, but maybe you’ll get out bed a do something meaningful tomorrow after reading this. I needed to sound off 2017 with a bang, so IContinue reading "Teammates inspire individuals in 2017"

While sitting in church, I sent a quick txt out to Pope and Cardinal to gauge interest for a 8am Ruck/ mixed workout tomorrow.  And the 8am start allows a little more festivities tonight than Glaucs scheduled beat down.  So let’s do this. The plan is to meet up for 2 lap ruck at 8,Continue reading "Preblast- 1/1/2018 @TheO"

Quit starring at Elsa and let’s think about letting 2017 go...... Lets kick the new year off with a bang and work up a sweat while it’s 1 degree out. Hey if someone can be outside watching the Steelers play the browns, I know some HIMS can post strong in the am. You won’t beContinue reading "Pre-blast: 1/1/18 #theincubator. 6:15 @ the posh. #itsgoingtomakeyousweat #let2017go"
