The BackBlast:
Five pax started the day with a beautiful sunrise over the sands of our imaginary arena for a Gladiator-themed beatdown. We poured out plenty of sweat to the concrete gods.
Conditions: 70ish and clear, i.e. no excuses.
Warmup:
- Indian run around the parking lot
- 20 x Windmills
- 20 x Weed Pickers
- 20 x Michael Phelps
- 20 x High kicks
- 20 x Mountain climbers
- Deconstructed Mucho Chesto:
- 5 x Merkins (IC = 2x OYO)
- 5 x Werkins
- 5 x Diamond Merkins
- 5 x Stagger Left
- 5 x Stagger Right
Thang:
“Rome is the mob.”
MOBS (in pairs, Dora style with one pax always running out and back):
-
200 Merkins
-
150 Overhead presses w/ coupon
-
100 Burpees
-
50 Squat jumps
Pax Choice Mobile Coupons:
Mosey to the sidewalk. Each pax had an opportunity to pick a stationary block exercise and a way of traveling across the parking lot to the opposite sidewalk.
- Wham-O – 3-point curls + rifle carry
- Flo – 3-point curls + shoulder carry
- Folgers – overhead press + weighted lunges
- Lucy – weighted squats + shoulder carry
We ran out of time for YHC’s turn, so we missed out on bear crawl block drags. Next time…
Sweaty Moleskin:
- To quote Maximus from Gladiator, “Brothers, what we do in life… echoes in eternity.”
- The Spotify algorithm gods were unkind to us and only played the slow, brooding songs from the Gladiator soundtrack, then some weird-a$$ classic rock after exhausting our skips and switching playlists. The accompaniment rightly received some ridicule from the pax.
- T-claps to Lucy for pushing through a difficult beatdown and being an inspiration to the rest of us!
