Free? Nah. Bootcamp? Nah. Bodyweight? Nah. #Heavy Backblast 10/8/2018

Q: Captain Insane-o Pax (6): Nugget, Diablo, Chestnut, Face, Mouth, CI We’ve done a few heavy workouts in the past, but most of those involved me lugging hundreds of pounds of implements from my pain cave or Mad Cow scavenging heavy junk from job sites, so I made a plea to the Pax:  invest inContinueContinue reading “Free?

Monday 10/8 Heavy BO at Sojourn – Preblast

I got a number of HCs for a heavy workout on 10/8, so I put it on the calendar. Me Q’ing this assumes a few things will happen on Monday: (1) everyone who comes will have a Kettlebell and a Barbell Plate (I suggested a 30# KB and 45# Plate, but less may be better;ContinueContinue reading “Monday 10/8 Heavy BO at Sojourn – Preblast”

BackBlast #BlackOps #theCounty 9/22/18 Abacus Q

The first day of fall 2018 brought the PAX out for a wonderful beat down in nearly perfect conditions. F3 Louisville’s growth over the last year has been remarkable. Nearly 200 PAX got better today doing something…rucking, pride week, ranger panty rucking (my eyes burn thinking about this) or an Abacus beat down. Maybe notContinueContinue reading “BackBlast #BlackOps #theCounty 9/22/18 Abacus Q”

9.21.18 Ruck Training Back Blast

Just like yesterday’s pre-blast, I plan to keep this simple as well. Sometimes I spend to much time overthinking a workout when most of the time the simplest ideas get the best results. I intended to let the PAX know that this would not be an easy workout, and this morning it was apparent thatContinueContinue reading “9.21.18 Ruck Training Back Blast”

BackBlast #BlackOps #BigFourStation Abacus Q 9/8/18

Lucky for me every disclaimer clearly states “modify as necessary”. Early in the week I planned on Co-Q’ing with Iceman and running (i) a speed / agility course and (ii) 11’s up the bridge. I showed the workout details to Iceman. Friday Iceman called as he left the doctor’s office with a jammed and dislocatedContinueContinue reading “BackBlast #BlackOps #BigFourStation Abacus Q 9/8/18”

St Aloys – Rucking Black Ops – Backblast 9.8.18

PAX: Viking, Meter Maid (Q) I had the privilege of taking Viking on his first ruck prior to his football theme VQ at the County. We were able to converse through our track through Pewee Valley.

08.25.18 St. Aloys Rucking Black Ops Backblast

Yesterday night I agreed to the Rucking Q for St. Aloys. I wanted to get an event up for this morning on short order especially considering next weekend is Labor Day.

Pax: Snowman (Q), Mamas Boy, Big Bird, Valdez, Alexa, Swifty, Uncle Rico, Amelia, Airplane, Milton, Meter Maid Conditions: a bit chilly I’ve been trying to get out of my comfort zone when I Q, so I wanted to work some running and burpees on my Q days. It throws off the Pax when they hearContinueContinue reading “Norton Commons BO 8/24”

Crucible Back Blast – Week 3 IronPAX Challenge

For the past two weeks several PAX, including myself, have been putting themselves through the F3 IronPAX Challenge that is being put on by F3 Greenwood.

However, I did not expect for theseContinueContinue reading “Crucible Back Blast – Week 3 IronPAX Challenge”

Pax: Double Down (R), Little Jerry (R), Captain Insane-o (YHC) This three man wolf pack woke up to a dry, and unnecessarily aggressive, 90* morning.

BackBlast #theFOG BlackOps Q School at #theCounty Abacus Q 8/18/18

Last December Dark Helmet graced F3 Louisville with his presence and pontificated wildly about the proper way to Q a workout, the leadership roles of F3 and life. Since then, our PAX has grown significantly. In fact #thecounty was not even on the radar last December and now the site is drawing 20+ HIMs everyContinueContinue reading “BackBlast #theFOG BlackOps Q School at #theCounty Abacus Q 8/18/18”

Yesterday I was sitting at work minding my business when I see a slack notification come through from Twitter on my desktop (Thanks to CI for his Slack training, I now keep it on my desktop to stay in the know) about a Rain Ruck event that is being put on by GoRuck. Once IContinueContinue reading “GoRuck Rain Ruck Training Back Blast – 8.17.18”
