Players Choice
All Concord BackblastsJuly 10th, 2018
14 PAX braved the moderate temperatures and low humidity to face the horrifying threat of a workout with little to no running. And that’s what they got.
Warm Up
- Arm Circles (arms)
- Cotton Pickers (legs)
- Freddie Merks (core)
- Merks (arms)
- ISTs (legs)
- Cobra stretch (core)
The Thang
The arms, legs, core theme continued with a player’s choice set of exercises with the chooser running a lap around ASEC parking lot as the timer. This became interesting as the timer got to inflict some pain on his fellow PAX with Grover and Private Ryan both dropping the Burpee challenge as they fled the scene.
As time wore on, it became more difficult for PAX to choose an exercise not previously performed. Mighty Mouse wins the prize for the most ridiculous choice in one armed wall merks, Rocky style, of which he could not even demonstrate properly before splitting for his timing lap. Ace modified his to “two armed merks with an emphasis on one arm”. Things quickly devolved from there as Q thinks he heard the suggestion of “one armed jack-offs.”
Recovery was short run to pull up bars for 10 reps or to failure.
Repeato.

Very much enjoyed leading a big group today, and appreciate everyone’s continued accommodation of my lack of locomotion. My favorite kind of workout with lots of cutting up, camaraderie, and chatter, but also a lot of drenched shirts in the end.
Prayers for Trick and Scout (and family) on their way back to Brazil to do God’s work. And for Goonie and Silverback on their way shortly after to support. Also prayers for Indy out traveling the world in who know’s where.
Please keep my uncle in your prayers as he continues to battle cancer and endures several more rounds of chemotherapy.
Thanks again! Pleasure to lead…
