ToG Pre-blast – 8.16.18

However, I will be there to proxy the challenge for anyone who would like to participate tomorrow morning. For tomorrow morning, we will take advantage of a new workout that I saw from a fellow region. PlanContinueContinue reading “ToG Pre-blast – 8.16.18”

Tank 8/15 BB: 1,890 Burpees and 5,400 yards

Insano posted an article from Men’s Health a few months ago. The gist was how members of the military are trained to maintain physical conditioning if they’re ever captured by the enemy. I thought the good HIMs of the Tank should give the workout a try, and off we went. PAX: Tony Malito, Dealer forContinueContinue reading “Tank 8/15 BB: 1,890 Burpees and 5,400 yards”

8/14 Pre-Blast IronPAXChallenge Week 2

As I’ve met more PAX across F3Louisville I’ve realized a characteristic embedded within almost all of us: COMPETITIVENESS. Do we support one another & embrace seeing others succeed? Absolutely! But when you’re in the gloom if you think you’re not looking around competing with your fellow PAX then you’re lying to yourself. I love aboutContinueContinue reading “8/14 Pre-Blast IronPAXChallenge Week 2”
