Backblast – The Tank 9/23 – Vincent

It was a perfect morning to workout and I was glad to lead the 13 PAX (see attendance report) that joined me for a Vincent Q. It’s been a long 9 days for me and I needed to vent a little so Q’ing was the perfect opportunity. First I want to thank all of theContinueContinue reading “Backblast – The Tank 9/23 – Vincent”

Pre-Blast 9.24 ToG @ The O – 630am Start Time

In order to adhere with the city imposed curfew, The Temple of Gloom at “The O” will begin at 630am tomorrow (9.24).  Since “The O” uses a city park, I feel it is imperative we adhere to the city curfew. Be prepared to explore the park and all it has to offer at this newContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast 9.24 ToG @ The O – 630am Start Time”

Finally, we will run, dance, and lift to a Ritchie RayContinueContinue reading “Pre Blast 22-Sept-2020 the Loco at the County Jerry MaGuire Q”

BB – Wisteria @ Pleasantville 9/18/20

Rule #1 of F3 fight club, don’t erase the Q’s white board. Dammit Pelican. Okay, I’m not mad. I hated the burpee part anyways. So….I’ll start by saying thank you to Jolly Rancher for bringing his entire extended family to make it one of the largest crowds I’ve seen in Pleasantville on a Friday. ThankContinueContinue reading “BB – Wisteria @ Pleasantville 9/18/20”

Preblast – Jolly’s Making it Rain at The Cliffs @ The Garden – 09/22/2020

That’s right. I’m invading The Garden tomorrow as the Gardeners doing the IPC head over to Posh for the lush, green grass. I’ve got the “AO of the Year” flag, the “Best AO Ever” flag, and the “South County” flag to plant on the sacred grounds of The Garden. I just hope someone is thereContinueContinue reading “Preblast – Jolly’s Making it Rain at The Cliffs @ The Garden – 09/22/2020”

BB Russdiculous Q (9/21/20) – The Incubator @ S. Posh

What an amazing morning to post at an awesome AO at South Posh! It was a pleasure to lead a great group of HIM during a brisk 50 degree Monday morning. I promised a full body beat down in my PB and 14 HIMS showed up ready to work! Here’s how it went down… AfterContinueContinue reading “BB Russdiculous Q (9/21/20) – The Incubator @ S. Posh”

BB Squid Q – The Fog @ Posh 09.19.2020

The PB banter on Slack put Bob’s desire to go fast up against his desire to slay mythical monsters in the gloom. I felt pretty confident that the proverbial Bob’s of the ‘ville would much rather get their motor runnin’ than they would smash krakens. It was immediately evident that the PAX are a bunchContinueContinue reading “BB Squid Q – The Fog @ Posh 09.19.2020”

Back Blast – IPC Week #4 at The County – 09/21/2020

IPC WOs are tough. IPC WOs on Monday’s are pretty stupid. IPC WOs on Monday after a long rule on Sunday are really stupid. But, whenever I feel sore or tired, a good ‘ol fashion beat down continues to be the best medicine. So, onward and upward. Got a text from Pelican at 5:07am suggestingContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – IPC Week #4 at The County – 09/21/2020”

Backblast 9.19.20 – The Nest @ The County w/ Jewel

Man, the boys came out on Saturday. 28 Bobs strong. What an awesome morning, albeit, a little chilly. The mumblechatter was strong at the start as the PAX waited for0700. I told myself I wanted to bring the heat for this workout… a little Garden flare if you will. Then this happened… Worm: “Is thisContinueContinue reading “Backblast 9.19.20 – The Nest @ The County w/ Jewel”

Back Blast – Super Samuel Superman Ruck – 09/20/2020

Saturday on September 19 was the American Heart Association Virtual Heart Walk. I did 2.5 miles with the family and some friends at Pope Lick Park, which was great. Beautiful weather recently and it was great to be able to enjoy it. But, given the virtual nature of walk this year I wanted to doContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Super Samuel Superman Ruck – 09/20/2020”

Pre-Blast 9/21/20 Big Mo at Vets

Tomorrow at the Vet we’re going to continue with the Ruck PT workouts to get us ready for GrowRuck. However, if you’re not doing GrowRuck or you don’t have a ruck, don’t let that stop you from joining the fun. After last week’s mumblechatter about Jamie Lee Curtis, who knows what it’s in store forContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast 9/21/20 Big Mo at Vets”

The FIREBALL Ruck with Alexa and Mama’s Boy – 9/25

The August Ruck was a “Taste of the Tough”. The October Ruck is the “Grow Ruck”. Both were difficult yet rewarding. The current IronPax challenge is also tough yet rewarding. For the September Ruck, Mama’s Boy and I wanted to provide something that has a little more focus on the Fellowship (don’t get too comfortable,ContinueContinue reading “The FIREBALL Ruck with Alexa and Mama’s Boy – 9/25”

Pre-Blast 9.19.20- The Nest @ The County

Man, time flies. My first post at The County was my 3rd post ever, just over a year ago on 9.2.19. Didn’t know a soul, and they didn’t know me. It didn’t matter, they were incredibly welcoming, even Dauber. Especially Pelican and Big Bird. That’s why The County has been my unofficial 2nd home (asContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast 9.19.20- The Nest @ The County”

Pre-Blast 9.19 The Ruiner @ The O

The workout was inspired by a song I heard on the radio this morning. I have taken a little artistic liberty with the lyrics to provide a preview of what we will do. “These hills are made for runnin’, and that’s just what we’ll do. Come to the Ruiner on 9.19 and bring your runnin’ContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast 9.19 The Ruiner @ The O”

09/17/2020 Back Blast ToG @ The O

In digging through some old stuff in the basement, YHC stumbled across an old pile of books containing some “Choose Your Own Adventure” titles. Thought this would be a great way to get all of the PAX involved in a WO. Questions were created and corresponding exercises were selected based on the answers. Pretty simpleContinueContinue reading “09/17/2020 Back Blast ToG @ The O”

Backblast 9/18 IPC Week 3 at the Abyss

PAX: Catfish, Huggies, Mr Hat, Harbaugh, Uncle Sam It was a cool morning in the 50s, low humidity, a perfect day for the IPC. Although the workout is simple, I arrived early to block off an area in the parking lot to do the merkins and squats so PAX didn’t have to cross back andContinueContinue reading “Backblast 9/18 IPC Week 3 at the Abyss”

Back-Blast Thursday 09/17/2020 – Inferno @ The Station

The Station was poppin’ this morning….no doubt about it.  Great mumblechatter, great energy, great music, everyone had a great time.  Just like a Pelican Q (except the opposite).  We got off to a fast start even before 0530 with Moab and Seal Pup arriving for their combined 173rd workout since their first post on Saturday.  SquidContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast Thursday 09/17/2020 – Inferno @ The Station”
