A Tabata Beatdown that Siskel and Ebert would be proud of.
All Afton BackblastsOctober 16th, 2019
With the weather forecast showing rain for most of the morning YHC was a little worried on how many people would show up. Cooler temps with rain only adds to fart sacking. Pleasantly we had 5 total show up for a 30 for 30 tabata beatdown. As tabata’s go sometimes I feel I don’t get my cardio in. As I was researching through past back blasts I came across one the would be perfect for my dilemma. I decided to forgo the usual rest period and add SSH instead so we would be constantly moving for 40+ mins.
What I didn’t expect was the mumble chatter to follow…For those who are not aware it came to our attention that a couple members of the Afton crew had not seen the movie Tombstone…a crime in most states. With that said, we had a “2nd F” movie night recently to get the two up speed and escape further embarrassment. The discussion started on what movie should we show next? From there..the ideas of classic movies and then quotes from those movies started flying out…Ex: Animal House – “TOGA, TOGA”, Caddy Shack – ” I sentenced kids younger than you to the gas chamber. I didn’t want to do it. I felt like I owed it to them.” Porky’s – who can forget Ms Ballbreaker shower scene. Smokey in the Bandit – “Son when I get home I’m going to punch your momma right in the mouth. There is no way you came from my loins.”
The mumble chatter continued – from the 70’s and making our way to the 90’s the classic movies ideas were flowing. Finally stopping at the cult classic Friday – “Whats up Big Perm, I mean Big Worm.” The mumble chatter was great and it helped take our minds off the non-stop beatdown detailed below:
