Four Corner Block Party
All Afton BackblastsMay 22nd, 2019
YHC has had a hectic week and realized after a late Tuesday question on slack from 4-Wide (about what was in store for Wednesday) that it was a little too late for a preblast and any expectation setting. His question did however prompt some chatter from TT and Big Blue that YHC read to mean the expectations might be running low on what YHC had planned. TT mentioned he had to leave early, so YHC did some reformulating to make sure TT got his monies worth as long as he was able to stay.
As YHC pulled into Dorton Park it is was a nice surprise to see a large group already gathering. In the end, it was 13 pax that showed on this perfect Hump Day morning to see what YHC had cooked up, including an FNG – John. With legs that are still pretty dead from the 24 hour Time Laps, YHCs primary plan was to keep running at a minimum, which is what inspired the Four Corner Block Party. It went something like this…
Warm-a-rama
Mosey one lap around the parking lap, then circle up for some…
SSH IC x20, Hillbilly IC x10, Windmills IC x10, Cotton Pickers IC x10 (with claps per 4-Wide), Mountain Climbers IC x20, Merkins IC x10, 5 Yurpees OOO
The Thang
Mosey to the dumpster to retrieve the blocks. Current block inventory is 12, so 1 short until TT has to roll. (Time to pick up a few more blocks when any of the pax have a chance) Next was overhead carry blocks to the field across from the tennis courts and circle up for the block party to commence.
- 20 curls, then hit 4 corners at courts with 5 Burpees at each.
- 20 overhead presses, then hit 4 corners at courts with 5 Yurpees at each.
- 20 chest presses, then hit 4 corners at courts with 5 WWIIs at each.
- 20 inverted rows, then hit 4 corners at courts with 5 HR Merkins at each.
- 20 overhead rows, then hit 4 corners at courts with 5 Low squats at each.
- 20 curls, then hit 4 corners at courts with 5 Merkins at each.
- 20 overhead presses, then hit 4 corners at courts with 10 WWIIs at each.
- 30 chest presses, then hit 4 corners at courts with 5 Burpees at each.
Mosey to put the blocks back to bed then head to the Shelter:
- Time was short, so pax knocked out a quick 20 dips in cadence.
Mary
YHC over heard Rooster asking for some core killers during the block party, so YHC thought he would throw him a bone during Mary and have home lead the pax in some Core Killers. Well that was where this Q failed as your leader. No need to relive it hear, but #wrongcall. Rooster requested a chance to redeem himself and since he is normally Mr Reliable, your YHC thought he deserved a second chance. Homer to Marge with Low Flutter IC x10 was the round 2 selection for Rooster and he delivered this time as expected. YHC wrapped up the party with 1 min “H”abs.

Moleskin
Lots of great effort in the gloom this morning. 13 is a strong number for Wednesday Beatdown at Afton. Good sign of the future for this great AO. Always awesome to have an FNG receive his name… welcome Chucky! Also, Amway earned a brown sticker this morning for his ability to hold off an “Amway” when the bathrooms were locked. For future reference, when he thinks he needs to leave early to find a bathroom, just put a block in his hands. That worked great on Amway today.
Thanks for joining me this am!
