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”

9.21.18 Ruck Training Pre-Blast

I am going to keep it simple this time. If you like to RUCK and you like the MURPH, then this workout will be perfect for you. It’s probably not going to be easy, it might even be downright brutal, but we don’t get up for easy. So if your HIM enough to give itContinueContinue reading “9.21.18 Ruck Training Pre-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”

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. I was excited about the opportunity to compete against other Pax across other regions, and also test myself through some difficult challenges. However, I did not expect for theseContinueContinue reading “Crucible Back Blast – Week 3 IronPAX Challenge”

F3 Louisville 8/24 Black Ops at Big 4 Bridge Preblast – This Will Be Difficult @midget04life @f3villeblackops

My buddy, Midget 4 Life, is visiting Louisville with a gaggle of F3 South Wake friends.  I met M4L at Bradford’s Ordinary, where I guest Q’d last September. His stinging feedback on my Q was, “I was told your Q would be hard.  It wasn’t.” Ya’ll know me, so you know what expect tomorrow.  He’sContinueContinue reading “F3 Louisville 8/24 Black Ops at Big 4 Bridge Preblast – This Will Be Difficult @midget04life @f3villeblackops”

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”

GoRuck Rain Ruck Training Back Blast – 8.17.18

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”

IronPAX Week 1 Challenge at the Crucible – Back Blast – 8.7.18

Yesterday began the 2018 August IronPAX Challenge. This has been in anticipation for several PAX members over the last few weeks as we have waited for this to arrive. After seeing the workout on Sunday, many of us, including myself had mixed feelings about Tuesday. We knew the workout would be hard, but I don’tContinueContinue reading “IronPAX Week 1 Challenge at the Crucible – Back Blast – 8.7.18”

Crucible Pre-Blast – IronPAX Challenge Launch – 8.7.18

After several weeks of anticipation, the Iron PAx is finally here. I personally am looking forward to this challenge because I think it will push each of us to get uncomfortable and test our limits. This would be good for all of us. After posting this morning and only seeing 34 PAX out, I knowContinueContinue reading “Crucible Pre-Blast – IronPAX Challenge Launch – 8.7.18”

The Silo Back Blast – 7.30.18

After a long day on the lake yesterday, I woke up this morning feeling quite sore. My back was already aching even before I got to the Gloom, so I was a little worried that I would not be able to deliver the level of beatdown that I hoped to. As I pulled up theContinueContinue reading “The Silo Back Blast – 7.30.18”

The following backblast were written from our unique perspectives of the challenge. SKID – just proud of you all clearly leading the way despite being newbies If anything, I’d add how I hate being platoon leader/ squad leader….. but how GOOD it is for me to do that.

Inaugural Crucible Backblast – 7.17.18

A couple of weeks ago I was approached about starting a Black Ops site near the Poshlands and the County on Tuesdays due to the increasing number of PAX posting on Tuesdays. I was intrigued to say the least, and decided to take on the challenge and create another opportunity for PAX to come andContinueContinue reading “Inaugural Crucible Backblast – 7.17.18”

BackBlast NC BlackOps 7/13/18 Abacus Q

July 13th marked my second trip to NC for F3 and my 3rd trip ever…normal a joint that nice releases the hounds when I get near. Cloaked in the darkness of the gloom, my entrance was stealth and I avoided detection by the locals. Grinder arrived first and was readying the flag for what wouldContinueContinue reading “BackBlast NC BlackOps 7/13/18 Abacus Q”
