Stairs, BLIMPS, Repeat
Good Monday morning. I like kicking the week off with a strong ER workout. I haven’t been as consistent at ER lately…I need to do it every week. 0530 Warm-up: SSH x 12 IC, Beakers (ATT w/ a double-tap) x 12 IC [the PAX b*tched about how fast I was going], Humpys x 12 IC […]
Just a Little AMRAP
I have a confession… I haven’t written a Back Blast in so long I almost forgot how. I still can find my way to the AO’s to get a much needed dose of Fitness, Fellowship and Faith. There are many among us missing out on this great time due to a disease called “Fart-sacking”. GET […]

The Mystery Q is Me
Got up at the same time as usual, but drove past South Caldwell High School to pay a visit to F3 Lenoir in land of the Panthers, Hibriten High School, at Babyface’s request. A couple pax were milling around eyeing me suspiciously when I pulled up, “Are you our guest Q?” “Yes, I am,” I […]
Prison Break Block Bomb 💣
In that it was my workout that injured Babyface, YHC felt compelled to heed the call for a substi-q in his place. Arrived to the AO at 5:10 to find Bismarck and Wile E perfecting their form on Body Destroyers. Cannonball and I felt the urge to join them, but resisted, knowing that we may […]
PrisonBreak birthday surprise
Somehow, YHC was assigned a VQ on my birthday, the Pax were very excited to hear such great news. As a special treat, Swinger wore a sweet tank top to show off the guns. Snips especially was excited to plan for birthday Merkins to end the morning, which made me think of Robert Burns: […]
Post Bear-Bare Ram
This will be short and sweet….unlike the Bear that several of the PAX had run the evening before which (for most of us) was neither nor.

Not Leg Day
Swinga asked me to Q several weeks ago. Of course I accepted. You see, I have a weakness for never saying no to a Q request. Well mostly. Sorry Abraham if you’re reading this. I promise I’m still working on getting to the Swamp soon. Promise. But seriously, Lenoir is not a quick hop and […]
