Backup plan B
All BackBlasts BackblastsNovember 14th, 2019
5 Pax took their DRP, put their warm layers on and headed out into the cold, cold gloom for a healthy dose of beatdown. YHC came with several options on paper and the 1st choice would require several teams of 3. At 0530 there were 5 of us so YHC knew he’d have to come up with something else. Disclaimer announced and we were off.
Warm-O-Rama: Moseyed up, down, and across the parking lot lines. We then re-connected with our youth by skipping around the student drop off area. Did you know it requires about 25% more power to skip verses running? Heard it on a podcast so must be true. We needed to get warm so we circled up underneath the tall heat lamp in the parking lot and warmed up IC: 20 SSH, 10 IST, 10 Hillbillies, 10 CP, 10 Merkins. Recover. Moseyed over to the basketball court where I quickly removed the plan A Weinke and quickly threw plan B together. It went something like this:
The Thang (Plan B):
- SSH x 50
- Air Squats x 40
- Merkins x 30
- WWII Sit Ups x 20
- Half Burpees (no merkin) x 10
- Run around the parking lot
Pax did all exercises OYO starting with SSH and working their way down to Half Burpees then run a lap. Come back and repeat above but eliminate SSH. Come back and repeat but eliminate SSH, Air Squats. Pax continued this pattern until all that was left was Half Burpees then one final run. Steel Cannon finished first then continued running to pick up the six. YHC followed and everyone finished together. Steel Cannon set a great example of “Leave No Man Behind”, way to go brother! Time was still left on the clock so YHC came up with a quick Thang 2:
Thang (#2):
Mosey over and line up on “Whatley Wall”. IC: Tricep Dips x 10, Inclined Merkins with your face over top your sweaty butt mark (sorry, not sorry) x 10. Step Ups OYO 15 ea leg. Repeat 2X. Recover.
Mary: Circle up on your six. IC: Airborn Mind Bender x 10, W x 10, LBC x 20, Low Flutter x 10, 1 min Plank. Recover, Recover.
