Meet in the Middle
All BackBlasts BackblastsJuly 30th, 2019
21 Diamond Rio fans emerged from their fartsacks to figure out what the Q had in store. A moderately humid 65 degrees made things more enjoyable.
Warm up
- Mosey via woodsy mess to the dragstrip of dentists and accountants (LeeAnn Drive) head to first parking lot Q can find to accommodate big numbers.
- SSH x 20 (IC)
- IST x 10 (IC)
- Windmills x 10 (IC)
- TP Hammy Stretch
- Arm Circles
- Mosey to middle of the dragstrip for …
That thang
- Partner up, even numbers was a plus.
- Partners mosey to opposite ends of dragstrip, with partner running away from AO stopping at each lightpost to do an exercise, and partner running towards AO just running until they got to the first lightpost.
- Lightpost exercises in order were 1) Merkins 2) Alt leg v-ups 3) Dry Docks 4) box cutters. All exercises were 10 reps.
- When you meet your partner, stop and do Burpees, rep pyramid climbing from 2 to 10 and back down to 2.
- Repeato until Q calls it.
- Q called time around 6:04, meet about midway down dragstrip.
- split into 2 lines and do insanely popular Indian lunge walk, with person at back bunny hopping up to the front. Get spared by disgusting garbage truck, and mosey back to AO.
Mary
- Pretzel Crunches x 10 (IC, each leg)
- LBC x 20
- Standard Broga

The THANG was a solid sweat fest. Q can admit mistake in that he should have dumped the lunge walk idea for continuing the THANG another 5 minutes, but you live and learn and that’s how you get better. Much consternation when the words “Indian Lunge Walk” left the Q’s lips. Much celebration when the garbage truck prematurely ended said lunge walk. The garbage man has never been so popular. Still, over 2 miles and plenty of reps, 40-50 of each, meant a solid beatdown.
This was initially going to be a deck workout, but Q wanted to maximize exercise time. It was decided that like Vin Diesel, we should be living our lives a quarter mile at a time. Q also was partnered up with Backdraft, which meant that seeing him caused YHC to do physical burpees in addition to the emotional and mental burpees that must be done on typical BD encounters.
Good work on Popeye bringing out FNG Thomas Moore, good effort and hope you come back and get a name. Great numbers, thanks to all for coming out. Don’t miss Mayweather’s VQ on Thursday, it is sure to be a doozy. Someone shit themselves at Mary, I hope that unnamed Pax feels better. Great coffee time with the majority of discussion focused on Luthor’s lizard skin wallet. Smooooooth.
every morning is better with F3 and thanks to all of you for being in the brotherhood of sweat, pain and faith.
AYE!
