No, I won’t print them in this Backblast.  Or will I?). Woof. Q: Rotated throughout depending on who was under the log/bag. I’m still waiting for someone to say, “Nah.ContinueContinue reading “1/19 @F3VilleBlackOps Backblast – CSAUP Ruck #getbetter”

BackBlast 1-18-18 #TempleofGloom READ IT

16 PAX hearts pounded harder than they ever have…well maybe harder than before we started the workout. I will go with what makes me feel better.  YHC called to Get coupons and line up at field. Lots of MC about coupons being stuck together and too much ice and snow on them, most of thisContinueContinue reading “BackBlast 1-18-18 #TempleofGloom READ IT”

BackBlast #BlackOps #theHue #Torcher

YHC anxiously checked SLACK for fartsacks and other excuses. The flu was causing PAX to cancel left and right. YHC was worried it may be a PAX of 1. But, the workout must go on, so I set off to the gloom. To my happy surprise Double Down and Little Jerry were there waiting. StarContinueContinue reading “BackBlast #BlackOps #theHue #Torcher”

Preblast 1/20/18 #thePoshlands #theFog #PartnerUp #introducingF69 StormTroopers VQ @0700

Where: The Posh When: 1/20/18 0700-0800 What: Partener style workout…hopefully we have an even number, if not, sorry to the odd man out. With the projected weather, its going to be hard to figure out if we are in Louisville or in the tropics. Don’t be scared, it wont hurt too much.

Digiorno VQ at the “O” #TempleofGloom, I am going to Steal your Hearts or just make them beat faster.  #F3Counts 

I remember my first post at the O…so excited and nervous (so out of shape).  We did so many exercises with weird names and everyone was talking in that crazy Lexicon.  I knew this was going to be awesome or we are going to be made fun of by everyone, so glad it is theContinueContinue reading “Digiorno VQ at the “O” #TempleofGloom, I am going to Steal your Hearts or just make them beat faster.  #F3Counts “

01-17-18 – Backblast – 5 HIMs became reacquainted with our old friend Murph at the #TheMutt #frozenblender

As I rolled up to the #TheMutt this morning and saw one motherrucker rucking along and only one other car I was afraid my preblast scared the rest of the PAX off. Alas, I was mistaken; Glen Ross rolled in right on time and Diguorno took Tiger’s place by flying in on two wheels. WeContinueContinue reading “01-17-18 – Backblast – 5 HIMs became reacquainted with our old friend Murph at the #TheMutt #frozenblender”

01-17-18 – Preblast for the #frozenblender

As I sit here contemplating my sanity for even considering working out in negative degree wind chills and 0 degree temps consider this for a moment: You’ll burn more calories – As the body works harder to regulate its core temperature among the elements, you’ll burn a few more calories during your wintry workout. You’ll strengthenContinueContinue reading “01-17-18 – Preblast for the #frozenblender”

1/17 Bridge Preblast: CI Always Brings Gifts #getbetter

Last time I Q’d at the Posh, I brought a rig full of coupons (hand stenciled by the Ensigns). Most of the Pax out there weren’t familiar with these versatile tools, but they learned quickly. And they were appreciative. I realized last week, though, that I’d set a precedent. I guess I need to bringContinueContinue reading “1/17 Bridge Preblast: CI Always Brings Gifts #getbetter”

The Posh was blessed with a surprise covering of snow this morning and chilly temps hovering around 17 degrees.  Fifteen men embarked upon the challenge of the Miserable Mile and all 15 completed the task, despite several men that took a nasty spill that could be heard from Simpsonville.   Luckily no injuries or causalitiesContinueContinue reading “1/15/18 Backblast #TheMiserableMile  #Theincubator”

1/16/18 PreBlast for #Rooster at #TheMutt

I dolled up last week, wore my Sunday best, and earned an invite back to The Mutt. I now sit here, in an oddly colored green chair, contemplating how to incorporate this 100 lb Everlast bag into a cold, snowy beatdown. I’m almost there. But, words of warning—we are going to carry and move heavyContinueContinue reading “1/16/18 PreBlast for #Rooster at #TheMutt”

Six HIMs made it through the icy roads to brave it through my icy Gut Busting challenge. Not the original Weinke that I had planned, however glad that a good group of men were up to my challenge.

So Mother Nature threw a wrench in my original plans for my Q this week.  I had originally thought about putting together a cute little playlist of “guilty pleasure” songs songs and leading the pax in a serious prancercizing type beat down.  Probably for the better, She decided that was not in our best interestContinueContinue reading “1/13/18 Backblast #theHurt @the Mutt #Iditarod #icemakescouponsheavy”

There’s no such thing as bad weather, just soft people.  When I signed up to Q a month ago, I just assumed status quo.  Probably a cool/cold morning with an extra layer on and we’d go through the motions as usual.  Instead I get the privilege of Q’ing on the first real snow day inContinueContinue reading “1/13/18 Preblast @theMutt #theHurt #snowmageddon #thisiswhyweloveF3 #can’tdothissh*tinagym”
