BB – Escalator @ The Abyss 9/16/20

I woke up to a cool and crisp morning…51 degrees out my way in Crestwood. In preparation (while dreaming of the WO) for today’s Q, I wanted to do something that did not involve Merkins or Squats. I wanted to keep the PAX moving the whole time with the least amount chest/bicep work. We didContinueContinue reading “BB – Escalator @ The Abyss 9/16/20”

BB Pelican Q @ the Boondocks 9.15.20

So last week when I Q’d the day after IPC I said I never would do that again. Little did I realize that I had already signed up to Q the Boondocks this week the day after IPC Week 3. Ok I totally realized it but whatever. If you haven’t been to the Boondocks beContinueContinue reading “BB Pelican Q @ the Boondocks 9.15.20”

PB- 9.16.20 – Sadie Q – Tank @ Vets Park

Meatball reached out to me to jump back on Vets Park Q calendar. I obliged and I couldn’t be more pumped to get back out and lead these fine HIM’s. With the madness happening all around us, it has been a while since I have posted at my formerly 1-2 posts a week site overContinueContinue reading “PB- 9.16.20 – Sadie Q – Tank @ Vets Park”

Diablo PreBlast for The Foundry at The County 9/16/20

While I can’t find a slab of beef for you to punch tomorrow at The County, I will be bringing an old school workout to prepare you for that next battle you must face, whether it’s Apollo, Clubber Lang, communist invaders, or the damn lawn mower that needs to be pulled a few extra timesContinueContinue reading “Diablo PreBlast for The Foundry at The County 9/16/20”

PAX:DynomiteRippleBuzzsawRussdiculousLadybirdJitterbugIcemanJewelUncle RicoBob RossPewPewStick Up (Q) This was one of those mornings were I realized the night before as I laid down for bed MY Q was in the morning. So instead of planning something, I decided to wing it in the morning. This is what I came up with. COP:25 SSH (IC)15 Grass Grabber (IC)15ContinueContinue reading “9.9.20 BB The Bridge @ Poshlands”

IPC 2020 Week 3: K.I.S.S. at 🍀The Garden🍀 9.15.20 PreBlast

Here’s the WO for tomorrow, which is pretty straightforward. Again, due to time constraints we will NOT do a CoP & will start right at 0530 so I encourage any/all planning to participate to arrive by 0520. At 0520 I will walk through the WO, the setup, & this is your time to stretch, getContinueContinue reading “IPC 2020 Week 3: K.I.S.S. at 🍀The Garden🍀 9.15.20 PreBlast”

IPC Week 2 @ The Abyss Backblast

Eight HIMs graced the dark grounds of The Abyss: Double Down (R), Huggies, Wildflower, Curious George, F-Stop (FNG), Captain Crunchberry, Whiskers, & Mr. Hat. We did the IPC Week 2 Madness, and in the darkness of The Abyss and the haziness of recovering from manmakers, I couldn’t tell who finished first, but I’m certain CatfishContinueContinue reading “IPC Week 2 @ The Abyss Backblast”

IPC ‘20 Week 2 RESULTS from 🍀The Garden🍀 9.10.20 BackBlast

Hats off to F3Greenwood & the IPC Crew for this WO…it was a beast. Last Sunday when the week 2 WO dropped I watched the 23 minute video & a couple things came to mind: this WO is going to suck (in a good way)creating a “wheel” overcomplicates this thing…especially if you have 10+ PAXContinueContinue reading “IPC ‘20 Week 2 RESULTS from 🍀The Garden🍀 9.10.20 BackBlast”

BB: Gisele Q the Nest at the County 9.12.20

I believe most of us were sleep deprived when we awoke on 9/12/01.  Nineteen years ago, I was a sophomore at Worcester State University. The attacks on America really shook me. The campus was closed, and this young, naive, careless student quickly turned scared, anxious and curious. As the hours and days unfolded people, IContinueContinue reading “BB: Gisele Q the Nest at the County 9.12.20”

Back Blast – 09/11/2020 – Jolly’s #343 FDNY Remembrance Q – The Baptizer @ The Garden

The PAX after the WO. Humbled to lead these men on a day like today. 293 helmets behind the PAX and 50 in front with exercises listed. As noted in my pre-blast, I signed up to Q this workout several weeks ago when it was still a BlackOps. In the weeks leading up to theContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – 09/11/2020 – Jolly’s #343 FDNY Remembrance Q – The Baptizer @ The Garden”

Pre Blast – Russdiculous Q @ The Ruiner

This PB comes on a day where many of us are reflecting on the horrific events of 9/11. I first want to acknowledge this day and those of you that have been impacted or know someone who has. These are the times that allow this group to showcase what we’re all about – getting better, supportingContinueContinue reading “Pre Blast – Russdiculous Q @ The Ruiner”

Back Blast 1-Sept-2020 Tuesday the Loco at the County – Tidwell & Cratchit Co-Q

This back blast is posted on behalf of Tidwell, a younger PAX who has made his mark on the County, particularly since workouts reopened in June. He’s posted more often, is getting stronger, and is also getting more resilient toward the end of each workout as the year continues. Sept 1, 2020 was his secondContinueContinue reading “Back Blast 1-Sept-2020 Tuesday the Loco at the County – Tidwell & Cratchit Co-Q”

BB – 9/10/2020 the Inferno at the Station

As I mentioned in my PB, I would make mention of the alarming numbers of Veteran Suicides. Several years ago there was a push-up challenge. There were an average of 22 Veteran Suicides a day. So people were challenging to do 22 push-ups and so forth. The numbers haven’t appreciably changed. I was challenged byContinueContinue reading “BB – 9/10/2020 the Inferno at the Station”

Pre-Blast – Jolly’s FDNY Tribute on 09/11/2020 – The Baptizer @ The Garden

Jewel announced he needed a Q on 09/11 a few weeks ago when The Baptizer was still a BlackOps – and I jumped at the opportunity given the profound significance of the date. I know the IPC took place at The Garden today and having completed that nonsense on Monday at The County, I sympathizeContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Jolly’s FDNY Tribute on 09/11/2020 – The Baptizer @ The Garden”
