Six PAX showed up to do something hard in the cold and dark this morning, including Harry Caray, Russdiculous, Sump Pump, Flo Jo, and Motor Boat and No Nuts as Co-Qs. We got right to work. A brief warmup including SSHs, Murcans, and stretching phased into a rucks-on indian file run down to the footContinueContinue reading “BB: No Nuts and Motor Boat Co-Q, BoW at The O, 12-8-20”

Weather: Cold, but dry. I didn’t look at the actual temperature when I got there, but I’m pretty sure the forecast was for 25 degrees. It was cold enough that Storm Trooper and Cartman claimed it was right at the threshold of whether they could attend or not. But, they both showed up, otherwise IContinueContinue reading “Backblast – Loco @ The Station – 12.8.2020 – Captain Crunchberry / Lucky Charms Co-Q – Breakfast of Champions”

Vikings plunder and pillage. Long before smart phones kept track of all vital stats one calculation device stood above all the rest, the Abacus! Abacus marked the miles and Viking administered a pillage worthy beatdown of max reps, static holds, and explosive power. Each mile the PAX focused on pillaging their upper, mid, and lowerContinueContinue reading “BackBlast – The Silo 12/7/2020 Run and Pillage (Abacus and Viking Q)”

LePew has already committed me to something Epic for my 200th Q (err.. 26th Q, 200th post). I’ll see what I can muster up. No coupons needed, but a fair share of running will be involved. We’ll likely do 200 of something, just because. SYITG – Fungi

Come start your day with a breakfast of champions tomorrow at The County. You will get to help settle the most heated debate in the breakfast world.

Over 50 HIMs donated $3,770…providing Blessings in a Backpack to 29 kids for a full school year!Pelican told me I could write as much as I want in this back blast and since he is the assistant to the regional ComzQ, I believe he has that authority.  I am going to try to be concise, butContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – “County Fair” Blessings in a Backpack for Engelhard Elementary”

Apologies for the delay. Been a hectic week. Stick Up was in need of a Q and I was happy to jump in and lead. Because it was 37 degrees and rainy, I wanted to keep the PAX as dry as possible so I called an audible and we did most of our WO underContinueContinue reading “BB – Incubator @ Posh 11/30/20”

I have always been a little intimidated when it comes to Q’ing a Heavy style workout. I think it’s because to me, there’s a lot more thought that goes into it. What weights to bring? How many of each? How many stations do I set up? What if I plan for 5 dudes and 15ContinueContinue reading “Back Blast 12.2.20-The Foundry @ The County”

No coupon needed in the morning – Gloves Recommended – Plan to visit all corners of the Posh.

F-Stop joined the Gloom during IPC week. What a terrible yet awesome time to join this brotherhood. His motivation began with a 75 day hard challenge (including but not limited to: 2 WOs/day, drink 1 gallon of water/day, read 10 min/day, no alcohol) in addition to recruitment from Harbaugh and Curious George. During this timeContinueContinue reading “Gladiator Backblast 12.4.2020”

Ok…So Violet asked me to Ghost Q the ToG back in October and I put together a candy-themed Halloween workout that I was pretty proud of. 2020 sucks so of course I had to back out on the Ghost Q, but Violet forgave me and got me back on the calendar for today. Like IContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast Thursday 12/03/2020 – Temple of Gloom @ The O”

It’s with a heavy heart and great anguish that after 6 long years as the site Q at the chopper I’ve decided it’s time for some new blood to serve the HIM at Veterans Park. The new site Q is a former D1 collegiate athlete and part Kenyan. It is none other than J-Town’s veryContinueContinue reading “PB: 12/4 TONY MALITO Q @ THE CHOPPER”

Had a fantastic morning at The Abyss at Long Run Park. Each AO is special and unique in it own way. Each has much to offer, and most have a characteristic that is unlike any other AO’s . The Abyss is Dark, no two ways about it. But there is a certain vibe that youContinueContinue reading “BackBlast The Escalator 12/2/2020”

So I got back on the schedule for tomorrow and we are gonna re-live Halloween week with the exact workout I had planned (except you already know I am Qing I guess). We will definitely be running around the OContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast Thursday 12/03/2020 – Temple of Gloom @ The O”

I worked out Thanksgiving morning, and it was awesome. Great WO from Deuce, great fellowship, and it was my son’s first F3 WO. He did pretty good, asked why these WOs were considered “hard”, and then got named XLAX. Caught a TD in Burpee football. Great day, and then as great days go, OB ateContinueContinue reading “The Hurt 11.28.20 @ Mutt with Old Bay”
