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”

So this is how we feel right now in quarantine. May as well emerge from the joint ripped and ready to go. The Virtual DRP returns tomorrow morning with McAfee at Q. He is modest, but he is also an IPC DemiGod. Expect to be beaten down. Start your weekend right by getting comfortable beingContinueContinue reading “PB: Virtual DRP @ McAfee, Q, Sat 12-5-20 0600”

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”

Alexa: “I’ll take Hot Sh!t for $2000 Alex” Trebek: “Answer: a Face Melter” Alexa: “What is tomorrow’s workout at The Station?” Tomorrow’s Inferno will stay true to it’s name: a fire. Don’t worry about it sub-freezing. Within minutes, your core temp will rise enough that you’ll likely sweat (at least a little). It will beContinueContinue reading “Inferno 12.3 PB – HIIT Jeopardy with Alexa”

It was a very frosty 25 degree morning in the garages of three PAX this morning. Handbook, Frankenbaby, and Motor Boat (Q) made the choice to Do the Hard Thing and get out into the (virtual) Gloom. There was peer leadership, there was a COT, we were outdoors, open to all men, and free. SoundsContinueContinue reading “BB: Virtual DRP @ The Boathouse, 12-2-20”

I originally had the Ghost Q for ToG but ended up having to miss it. 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”

We’ll be back on campus at St. Aloysius (Calendar still says Boondocks). We’ll be run heavy tomorrow. No Coupons. We’ll go long and short distances and throw some PT in between. SYITG -Fungi

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”

Co-Q with Cochran and LePew PAX: Bulletin (R)Launchpad (R)Big BirdFungiAbacusCochran (Q)LePew (Q) It was cold. Black ice surrounded us. The wind howled. Eyes watered. Eyelashes froze. Fingers and toes were numb to a point to where they were nearly useless. Yet we got after it. LePew forgot to give the disclosure before the COP andContinueContinue reading “BackBlast 12.1.20: The Planetarium @ The Boondocks”

Calling all PAX who are quarantined… YES you can get your DRP. Set up your computer in your garage or outside, and use the Zoom link below. Prove to yourself that out of the gloom does not mean out of the game. Start your day right by Doing The Hard Thing.For virtual workouts, you getContinueContinue reading “PB: Virtual DRP @ The Boathouse 12-2-20: Out of the Gloom, BUT NOT OUT OF THE GAME”

It’s getting cold outside and it looks a lot like Christmas at Vets right now. All the more reason why YHC will get your heart up and running for 45 minutes at the tank tomorrow. NO COUPONS.

They say don’t Q it if you can’t do it, right? So I tried this one out to be sure. It sucked! Tomorrow will be tough! And you will pull from deep within yourself every adjective of the word GRIT to make it to 0615…but per the norm we’ll get after it together! We’ll motivateContinueContinue reading “12.2.20 Pre Blast-The Foundry @The County-BigBird Q”

Looking forward being at The Abyss as I Q The Escalator. I will make sure me move a little, work ,and move a little more. Bring a coupon, some gloves and a headlamp if you are afraid of running into something or someone. SYITG Jitterbug

No need to wait until next week to bask in that co-Q world. Start Advent off right with Cochran and LePew at the Boondocks. It’s not going to be “warm” outside, so we are going to keep moving. No coupons necessary. SYITG.

My legs are still gassed from overworking them this weekend. Because of that, we’re going to focus on arms and shoulders in the morning. Bring gloves and we’ll grab coupons en route to the portico around back. SYITG Squid

Making my first trip out to Pleasantville in a while. Super stoked to get together with them county boys! I’ve got a really fun workout planned and a couple announcements to share with you. Come on out and bring a friend. Dress appropriately, NO COUPONS NEEDED!
