McAfee 2 Year Postiversary at The Incubator – 8.26.19

BB 8/26 – Uncle Rico @ North Posh – 2 Year Postversary

It is crazy how much F3 (3 AO’s) and myself have grown over the last 2 years.  F3 has challenged me physically, mentally, and spiritually and made me a better father, husband, and friend. Still remember the conversation I had with StarChild and him not accepting my excuse.  I challenge all PAX to push the personContinueContinue reading “BB 8/26 – Uncle Rico @ North Posh – 2 Year Postversary”

BackBlast 7/15 @ Posh w/ Uncle Rico

Great to be back out at the Posh and more importantly take the PAX out for a beat down and show them what Uncle Rico is all about.   Told them early on they are in good hands.

Slippery Hills at St. Pats – Back Blast 3.14.19

I didn’t realize what the weather was going to be like this morning until after I read OJ’s pre-blast and took a look at the weather channel. Once I realized that it was going to be pretty gnarly weather conditions I had to scrap my whole workout. I wanted to keep us moving and notContinueContinue reading “Slippery Hills at St. Pats – Back Blast 3.14.19”

Poshlands – Pre-Blast 2/27

All men of F3 are cordially invited to my V-Q at the Poshlands this Wednesday. For those who know me (Ladybird), you know that I am not a runner, as a matter of fact, I am not sure that I could outrun a Ladybug. Sloth would have been a more appropriate F3 name. Here areContinueContinue reading “Poshlands – Pre-Blast 2/27”
