Zack: Heyyyy BigBird! Bird: Yo Zack! What it do?! Zack: Did you know that Loverboy, Styx and REO Speedwagon are coming to Riverbend this Saturday? Also I heard you have the Q at Bayside on Thursday!

5.26.22 Way Back Blast: The Agony @ The County
Golly! Almost two weeks and just now getting the back blast out is unacceptable…I will say that two months into a new job has made it difficult for me to make the time like I used to be able to do whilst being pretty much unemployed. And even though Jewel says it doesn’t need toContinueContinue reading “5.26.22 Way Back Blast: The Agony @ The County”
6.7.22 Pre Blast: BO @ Goshen – BigBird Q
This is one of the mottos that I live by said by one of my favorite characters of all time. Seeing as where this is only my second trip to Goshen and my first Q, I thought it appropriate to have a little fun with it. Don’t get me wrong, we’ll still work hard butContinueContinue reading “6.7.22 Pre Blast: BO @ Goshen – BigBird Q”
5.23.22 Back Blast: The Incubator @ Posh
Look at our boy Stick Up graduating from Site Q to 1st F Q! It’s always good to see men accelerating, injecting the region with fresh ideas and objectives. One of the last things he would do as outgoing site Q of the Incubator would be to fill up the calendar to make for aContinueContinue reading “5.23.22 Back Blast: The Incubator @ Posh”
5.26.22 Pre Blast: The Agony @ The County – BigBird Q
Calling an audible here. Subprime has found himself feeling a little under the weather and asked me to step in. So for those expecting a Subprime type of workout, never fear. He has shared his wienke with me and it promises some moseying, partner work with coupons and some sprints. We’re going to turn aContinueContinue reading “5.26.22 Pre Blast: The Agony @ The County – BigBird Q”
5.16.22 Back Blast: The Motivator @ The Abyss
At one time or another hopefully we were all motivated to get out to the Abyss. It really is a fantastic site. You have a playground for pullups, a basketball court for guys like Pelican to tell you how awful you are at basketball, a portico to keep you dry, benches for dips and finally,ContinueContinue reading “5.16.22 Back Blast: The Motivator @ The Abyss”
5.23.22 Pre Blast – The Incubator @ Posh: BigBird Q
I had so much Fun at this Guy’s workout last week that I thought I’d play it back and roll it out for the Poshies.

PleaseContinueContinue reading “5.23.22 Pre Blast – The Incubator @ Posh: BigBird Q”

5.10.22 Back Blast: The Loco @ The County
5/3, and after an Asian Zing (R) birthday celebration under the portico due to the wet conditions Hush Puppy accidentally on purpose forgot to grab the shovel flag. Since I was the last one to roll out I grabbed it with the intention to post at The County the following Tuesday to return it. AContinueContinue reading “5.10.22 Back Blast: The Loco @ The County”
Back-Blast: The Range @ the Patriot – 5.11.22 – Mannequin Q
Warm weather made for a quick warmup this morning, we 16 men filtered in right as I was getting rolling with the disclaimer. The train had held a lot of them up. This mornings workout was down at the Cityplace courtyard. When you are in there, and the music is blasting, it makes for aContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast: The Range @ the Patriot – 5.11.22 – Mannequin Q”
5.10.22 Pre Blast: The Loco @ The County – BigBird Q
Man!! Today has been unbelievable! Quite possibly the most beautiful day of the year! Tomorrow looks to bless us with much of the same.

Come out with me tomorrow ITGContinueContinue reading “5.10.22 Pre Blast: The Loco @ The County – BigBird Q”
BB- The Nest at the County – 5/7/22 – Derby Themed Rotation- Backflop and Meter Maid CoQ
I can see why the weather people only give a 10 minute weather guarantee in our area. It was not supposed to rain this morning before the Nest. The conditions were 51 degrees with a light rain and wet/sloppy conditions at the Nest track. Backflop and YHC were coQs. We each came with a planContinueContinue reading “BB- The Nest at the County – 5/7/22 – Derby Themed Rotation- Backflop and Meter Maid CoQ”
5-2-22 – The Incubator at the Posh – Meter Maid Q
It was a cool 47 degrees which was chiller than than I expected. No worry because the weight we would move would more than keep us warm. All totaled 5 pax [Methane (R) [newly minted Incubator site Q] Ladybird (R), YNot [3rd post at Posh], Edward Scissorhands, Meter Maid (Q)]showed up for the never missContinueContinue reading “5-2-22 – The Incubator at the Posh – Meter Maid Q”

BB- The Agony at the County – 4/14/22 – Meter Maid Q
In looking at the forecast the night before, YHC decided to make it a run heavy workout. For those who don’t know, Gisele is doing lots of burpees this month for charity. At his Q earlier this week (and I didn’t know or attend), they ran a lap around the County and did 10 burpees.ContinueContinue reading “BB- The Agony at the County – 4/14/22 – Meter Maid Q”
Back Blast: 2022 Pull Up Challenge
12…1,281…40,953 Nope. They’re not coordinates that will take you to a buried treasure. It’s not any kind of new mathematical equation that will earn you the Nobel prize. These numbers are far better than that. 12 is the number of dudes that reached at least 2022 pull-ups from January 1st – March 31st. 1,281 isContinueContinue reading “Back Blast: 2022 Pull Up Challenge”
PB- The Agony at the County- 4/14/22 – Meter Maid Q

Pre-blast: 4/5/22 – Bag of Wrenches @ The O
It’s probably going to be raining when your alarm clock goes off tomorrow. Don’t let that be the reason you decide to stay in the fartsack. The O arguably offers the least amount of shelter of all the AO’s in the region but we do have some options. That said…. if it’s raining, I canContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast: 4/5/22 – Bag of Wrenches @ The O”
3.31.22 Back Blast: The Moonshiner @ The Boondocks
Was really looking forward to this one. I found myself in a fortunate position where I could put the cherry on top of a couple of conquests. The pull-up challenge that started January 1st along with the Iron Horse challenge that would go all of the way through the end of this day, March 31st.ContinueContinue reading “3.31.22 Back Blast: The Moonshiner @ The Boondocks”

3.23.22 Back Blast: The Tank @ Vets
I like to consider myself a bit of a nomad. As I meet new dudes it often comes up in conversation on where my home AO is. Of course I’m a County boy through and through and have immense love for all my fellas in the GCA. But the second thing I will always sayContinueContinue reading “3.23.22 Back Blast: The Tank @ Vets”
3.21.22 Back Blast: The Motivator @ The Abyss
How time it does fly…Since the beginning of the year I’ve only been to The Abyss a few times and hadn’t Q’d at all. About 6 weeks ago Harbaugh was looking to fill up the calendar so I decided to have him sign me up for this one so I could check it off myContinueContinue reading “3.21.22 Back Blast: The Motivator @ The Abyss”
Pre-blast: 3/25/22 – The Chopper @ Vets
It’s been weeks since my last Q and months since the last time I Q’d @ Vets. Looking forward to finally being back leading a workout under the flags @ Veterans Memorial! Tomorrow’s workout will include some Vets staples along with some exercises that break the Vets’ unwritten rules. We’ll get a little cardio inContinueContinue reading “Pre-blast: 3/25/22 – The Chopper @ Vets”
3.22.22 Pre Blast: The Tank @ Vets – BigBird Q
I’m every job that must be done there is an element of fun. Just like Mary Poppins coming in with the East wind, your Bird will be swooping in to give you a spoonful of a beatdown that will be the medicine to help you be better equipped to take on your hump day. NoContinueContinue reading “3.22.22 Pre Blast: The Tank @ Vets – BigBird Q”
The Minutemen at the Patriot – 3/21/22 – Meter Maid Q
I was happy to be Qing the fastest growing and AO of the year. If you haven’t come out, make sure to check it out. It was 44 degrees for the start.

3.20.22: The Motivator @ The Abyss – BigBird Q
Usually making a left hand turn is synonymous with something bad or having made a turn for the worse. Tomorrow ITG left hand turns will be a good thing as the hard work we produce will prepare us to dominate our Monday, setting the tone for the rest of the week. So get up, turnContinueContinue reading “3.20.22: The Motivator @ The Abyss – BigBird Q”
3.18.22 Back Blast: The Baptizer @ El Jardín
This was my first time getting the nod at Friday’s Baptizer workout. The Garden Goons know how to bring it so I wanted to make sure I put together a wienke stiff enough to meet their expectations. This would also be the day after St. Patty’s day and round 1 of the NCAA Tourney soContinueContinue reading “3.18.22 Back Blast: The Baptizer @ El Jardín”
PB- The Minutemen at the Patriot – 3/21/22 – Meter Maid Q
Bring out your running shoes and gloves for admission tomorrow. No coupons (or potted plants tomorrow) will be needed. We will spend some time on Heartbreak Hill. -Meter Maid
3.18.22 Pre Blast: The Baptizer @ The Garden – BigBird Q
1,609 meters…1,760 yards…5,280 feet…No matter how you spin it, it’s all equivalent to a mile. You might run it in 6:30 or 8:20 or 10:45. But on this day it will take us a lot longer than that. This will be the longest mile you will have run and at 0615 the Grim Reaper willContinueContinue reading “3.18.22 Pre Blast: The Baptizer @ The Garden – BigBird Q”
