The Final Countdown
All BackBlasts BackblastsSeptember 23rd, 2020
11 Pax came out to take on the fourth — and final — Iron Pax Workout for 2020. The standings leading into this final beatdown were close, with a trio of @powerball, @number1, and @tencent all within striking distance of the crown.
A quick disclaimer was given and we made a short mosey around the lot before circling up for…

- Congrats to @powerball, who’s second-place finish today netted him the title belt as Highlands Iron Pax Champion!
- @number1 SMOKED everyone in this one en route to a second-place finish. @tencent finished third
- Great work also by @tencent, @brooklyn, @kleanup and @gumby, who all actually finished the workout
- Great to see @brooklyn make an appearance. He said he was here (from Michigan) to get his car inspected and, while I don’t really understand any of that, it was good to have him out.
- Great turnout today as we had more Pax than blocks. @illuminati and @disaster took full advantage by doing the beatdown blockless
- Prayers for continued recovery for @brinkley. See you soon brother
- Prayers for our country. It’s a rough time right now, let’s focus on what we can control. Surround yourself with people you trust and love, and put in the work to make our community a better place for everyone. From there, that effort can spread.
- My favorite band American Aquarium has a song, and the chorus always makes me stop and think: “The load is heavy and the road is long, but we’ve only begun to fight. We can’t give in, we can’t give up. We must go boldly into the darkness, and be the light.” As you go forward today, be the light in somebody’s darkness.
