Covering ground at the Pit
My apologies for breaking my own self-imposed 48hr Backblast rule but I appreciate the grace. It's been a few weeks since my last time leading men from the Q spot so it was good to be back. What did we do? I'm so glad…

Things Happen When They Are Supposed To Happen
Today was my last Q before I donate a kidney to a friend on Monday (1/25). The workout was designed to highlight some of the lessons I've learned throughout this process and I hope to impart on the 10 PAX that showed up…

EMOM Kettle Bell Blast
15 muscle men got stronger this morning with a stupid workout by YHC. We busted out about 40 minutes of straight slinging bells, with very little rest. I mean, this is a kettle bell AO, so we did kettle bell stuff…

50th Birthday Beatdown
Today YHC celebrated 50 years on this planet with 11 great men of this nation. The weather was rainy and I think that might have kept some away but the beatdown commenced. We moseyed to the front of Springfield Middle…

6 endured Broga and Bunzercise
Most of us dont stretch enough, especially those of us who do a lot of KB workouts. That's me. I'm usually KB MWF. Since I was asked to Q Footloose, I thought it was a good opportunity to get myself some stretching…

Ohhh Milk!
The gloom was upon us as we watched our former brothers @F3_Polaroid and @birdcage_f3 ran away out of unadulterated fear and loathing to find a safer path known as Whites Road... A custom playlist was created for this…

Return to The Tomahawk
Always enjoy being asked to Q a workout, especially The Tomahawk. It’s been a little while since I’ve Q’d there since I’ve been logging a bunch of miles for the #1000in2019 challenge. My last workout there ended up…

What State Is This Tomahawk?
A few weeks back, I agreed to Q at the old Tomahawk and somehow I agreed to Q at Mint Hill on the same day, but as I never got confirmation from my brothers in Mint Hill, Tomahawk won the day. I've learned to keep…

Swings at Block Party
YHC had two plans in case the setup for the Strawberry Festival hindered the better workout, but a quick walkthrough of WEP revealed that everything was normal and the fun could begin as hoped. 12 PAX appeared in the…

Frying Pan Fun
Sometime in the last couple of weeks, YHC's youngest 2.0 wanted to watch a Disney movie that I never wanted to see. I did my best to pick apart the plot holes and inconsistencies to keep myself entertained, and the…

LBC's Galore at The Armory
One could assume that, being a Site Q, I would know the importance of posting a Backblast in a timely manner. I have failed yet again. 9 days later... 8 guys met at Forest Hill Church to start the party at The Armory…

Reunion Tour @ The Tomahawk
If we go back to Summer 2017... I was EH’d to The Tomahawk by Dark Helmet and Bird Cage. It happened while helping Sharknado move in just down the street. My interest was peaked, so I gave it a try. It was awesome, but…

On the second clock at Tomahawk
Polaroid sent out a request a few weeks back for Q's. Replying affirmatively meant I was going to be put out of my comfort zone as I had only attended a weight AO twice over the years. I was then able to get in a visit…

Shaolin inspired gear at The Tomahawk
Last Tuesday YHC's phone made a strange noise, which I found was created by Polaroid, who wrote, "Are you ready and willing to Q The Tomahawk this Wednesday?" Well, I'd been wondering for a while when I'd step up for my…
