Back-Blast – The Loco @ The County – 6-18-19

I had mentioned in the Pre-Blast that I had been inspired lately by the increasing difficulty of the workouts so I wanted to make sure I didn’t disappoint. Based on the comments after the workout, I think everyone got their money’s worth. The following 26 PAX braved the downpours and got better: PorkChop – fromContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast – The Loco @ The County – 6-18-19”

BackBlast: The Big Kapowski 6/20

A perfect morning was provided and the Bayside HIMs took full advantage. This has been one of those weeks where I’ve just felt stressed and frustrated with all that has gone on. Busy work schedule, sick kids, sick wife, etc, etc. This Q was a great opportunity for me to work some of that outContinueContinue reading “BackBlast: The Big Kapowski 6/20”

Back Blast the Bridge 6/19. Leave well enough alone

A few weeks ago I led a workout at the chopper. It was hard, and I received a lot of positive feedback about it. So why not do the same workout but add in the bridge? I’ve been planning this for weeks! Even before I was on the Q calendar at Posh. Well, my planContinueContinue reading “Back Blast the Bridge 6/19. Leave well enough alone”

Back Blast – Vincent Q – the TANK!

PAX: Plumb Bob, Snowman, Old Bay, Zartan, Grinder, Q (All) Looking at the Q calendar for this morning, there were lots of great options, none of which I felt I could do in my current condition.

Pax: Snowman, Worm, Plumb Bob (Q) Weather: Chance of rain but none during the workout, slight breeze, slightly humid, 68deg The Workout: I was initially afraid that I wouldn’t have enough stations to accommodate everyone.

BB 6/17/19 – The Silo @ North Posh – Team Cowboy vs. Team Viking

As expected, Vikings don’t always sharpen their axes before they head into battle.  I’ll just go ahead and say that Viking is already planning the re-match.  So the first Team Cowboy vs. Team Viking beat down is in the books and to the victor goes the back blast.  As they say, the winners always writeContinueContinue reading “BB 6/17/19 – The Silo @ North Posh – Team Cowboy vs. Team Viking”

The Blender 6.19.19 PreBlast

Of the last 3 times I’ve posted, 2 of the WOs were “competitions”. I like this idea because I think more often than not, in these scenarios we push ourselves harder than usual…because losing sucks. I don’t know exactly what we’re doing yet, but it will be competition based. I suggest wearing off-road shoes if youContinueContinue reading “The Blender 6.19.19 PreBlast”
