The Wheels Return!

All BackBlasts Backblasts

November 14th, 2019 By Spud

12 men denied comfort and warmth to embrace the suck of a double wheel beatdown under cool and crisp conditions

THE THANG

PAX pair off and attack the two new-and-improved wheels that randomly dictated our workout with a spin of the pointer.  The Wheel of Fun and The Wheel of Pain (Spoiler alert: they are both pain).  The Wheels are on opposite ends of the parking lot with cones set up behind each wheel for specific exercises.  PAX run from one wheel station to the other after completing exercise, but “pay the toll” of 3 burpees between each station.
Wheel of Fun:
12 Burpees
2 Suicides
12 Peter Parkers
12 No Touch Core Killers
20 KGB’s IC
25 Star Jumps
18 Hand Release Merkins
Inch Worm to Cone
 
Wheel of Pain:
Squat Crab Shuffle,  9 each side
Boxer Punch, 20 seconds each side
Squat Jump Shot, 20 seconds each side
Crab Walk to farthest cone
Fire Hydrant Kick Out, 12 each side
Wheel Barrel to farthest cone, then switch with partner
Burpee Broad Jump to farthest cone
Wall Ball Volley Ball, 5 rounds
 
Return to Mary but first a payout at the bridge:
20 Dips
20 Merkins
20 Mtn Climbers
 

MARY

A long and endless Flutter Kick Session (40 reps)

The frosty air temp was a welcome change and got PAX motivated to move.  Except for Pvt Ryan, who showed up in the parking lot coming from his warm and toasty truck.  Wish YHC had thought of that.

Great workout with that random element thrown in, although the spinner always seems to end on Core Killers.  Some surprising pain inducers were the Boxer Punch and the Fire Hydrant Kick Out.   Inchworms also induced the bad kind of groans.   Not much beyond the normal mumblechatter for this Concord group.   It was great to work out with Voltron, a Respect from our southern neighbors.   Good luck on your marathon on Saturday and don’t hate me too much when your quads blow up.   That which does not kill us makes us stronger, right?  Right?

These were the new and improved Wheels after their predecessors melted in a thunderstorm last year.   They shall return!

Thank you all for posting this morning and giving it your all.  These rarified mornings are the best way to start the day and they probably mean more to us than we can articulate.   We work, we laugh, we praise God for His Creation and Salvation.   What could be better?

Our prayers out to those suffering in silence who cannot or will not speak to God.   Let us try to be that bridge or that connection that brings them closer to the truth.   We pray for the continued recovery of Katherine, wife of our own bad-ass brother Total Package.

Aye!
