Needed some inspiration, so checked some historical backblasts

Event Date

Aug 23, 2023


6 PAX showed for the glits, glamour and fame of Hollywood…. sscccrrreeeeaaaccccchhhhhh (insert loud screeching brakes sound). This is F3, No Glits, No Glamour (unless you’re Omega), and No Fame. Just PAX getting after it, in the GLOOM.

The Q was lacking in variety and creativity, so the Q went into the website and scrolled through the historical backblasts of Hollywood. Found a lot of Doras, Ladders, and Rock Pile POSTs, but 2 stood out from the rest… This was the inspiration for this morning.

Mosey to the parking lot in front of Which Wich for Warm-aroma: SSH IC X 15, Toy Soldier IC X 15, IST IC X 10, slow windmills IC X 10, chin to right knee for 10 count hold then pivot into runner’s pose for 10 count hold, middle hang for 5 count hold, then flip chin to left knee and runner’s pose.

Mosey to the dead end street next to Which Wich for:

Fast 45 Thang – set a stopwatch for 45 seconds. Perform 5 Mericans, then run uphill to the stop sign and back before the 45 seconds. Repeato for 5 rounds.

At this point in the POST, Ping figured out the 45 and asked, “are we doing 9 rounds?” Very perceptive Ping. 

Mosey to the lighted Parking lot beside the movie theater for:

Parking lot line Thang – 9 rounds in total (hence the very perceptive comment about Ping). First 3 rounds: broad jump about 5 times to parking lot line, then do 9 Mericans, broad jump 5 more times to parking lot line then do 9  squats, broad jump about 5 times to parking lot line. Next 2 rounds, bear crawl to parking lot line, then do 9 Carolina dry docks, bear crawl to parking lot line then do 9 alternating lunges, bear crawl to parking lot line and do 9 Carolina dry docks. Next 2 rounds, lunge walk to parking lot line, then do 9 Mericans, lunge walk to parking lot line then do 9 squats, lunge walk to parking lot line and do 9 Mericans. Last 2 rounds (running out of time) crab walk 1 parking lot line and back.

Mosey to the movie theater side wall, Grab some wall for: 45 seconds of people’s chair with air press IC X 10, balls to the wall for 2 rounds of 9 seconds hold, Rocky Balboa IC X 9, Mohammed Ali IC X 9.

Mosey to the Flower bed – declined Mericans X 9, step ups X 9, dips X 9

Great to see Ping out at Hollywood. Please support his Q at Dragonslayer tomorrow 💪. Also notable for Boarhog appearing, though he says he has my Qs all figured out 😉. I might have thrown him for a loop today. Deep Dish showed a strong effort today 👊. Gatsby is kicking it into a hirer gear. Not long before he’s at the front of the PAX. Keep showing up Gatsby!!! MQ Soprano still crushes it and leads post exercises 💪.

It was a privilege exercising this GLOOM.
