A pretty quiet beatdown today at Emmaus, as one would expect with Crocs and Rodeo in tow. Very little mumblechatter or complaints. “And if all others accepted the lie which the Party Q imposed—if all records BACKBLASTS told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth."
And we had the pleasure of welcoming FNG-1 = Paul, who found us by Googling "men's morning workout". Whoever is Q of comz, great job with that SEO. And good job Paul…takes some gusto to show up knowing nobody and sweat with 8 other weirdly-named dudes in the dark alleys of Birkdale.
Warmarama
Mosey to the rear of the theatre…what the heck is Popcorn's car doing parked here? We shall see.
Warmarama with all the usual suspects…SSH, Toy Soldier, Slow Squat, Carrot Puller. Move on to the "easy" stuff.
The Thang
Since YHC still had the speaker in his car from IPC Week 3 the day before, why not enjoy some Tabata? And why not completely mess up the Tabata timer and put 10 seconds of rest when intending to do 15 seconds? More fun!
45 seconds active, and 15 10 seconds rest of the following…
- Hand release merkins
- WWIIs
- Jump Squat
- Flutter Kick
- Mack Tar Jai (no idea how to spell this)
No time for rest. Repeato for round deux!
Time for a tour of Birkdale's beautiful 4 decks.
- Deck 1: 25 partner derkin at bottom, sprint to top, switch partner for 25 more derkins.
- Deck 2: 20 single leg bridge at bottom, sprint to top, switch legs for 20 more
- Deck 3: 5 burpees at bottom, sprint to top, 5 more burpees
- Deck 4: Lunge walk to top, run back to our cozy spot behind the theater.
Not enough time for 2 rounds of Tabata, so squeeze in 1 more round before heading home to Sbux.
Circle up for Mary. Slingshot called Freddy Mercury. Toby stabbed me square in the heart and pandered to Crocs and Rodeo's calls for pigeon. Yes, we slid face first into recover recover with…pigeon. You owe me burpees at next Mary, Toby.
Moleskin
- Please welcome FNG Paul (Twitter = @paulbraveheart). He's an editor so I've tried to write this backblast extra carfully.
- I know my preblast was subtle, with the 100 font text of the word "Easy" in quotes and the gif of Chris Farley as motivational speak Matt Foley using air quotes, but I never intended for this to be easy.
- Thank you all for sharing some temporary pain with me this morning. It's always a pleasure Qing the Legends of Lake Norman.
- And thank you Ramrod for the opportunity to take the reigns!
