Burpees & Ladders
All BackBlasts BackblastsOctober 6th, 2020
17 men graced The Gloom with their presence Tuesday morning.
As 5:30 neared and a good-sized crowd gathered, YHC was still a little unsure about what he had in store for the Pax. But, 5:30 waits for no man or plan and when the alarm chimed a disclaimer was given and off we moseyed…sort of.
We made it almost to the entrance to Highland Creek Golf Club before @greek came barreling in on two wheels. We decided (well, YHC decided for everyone) to circle back and pick him up. We then circled up in the lot for the beginning of YHC’s new favorite, the…
Moving Warmarama
- SSH x19 + 1 burpee OYO (HCGC Lot)
- Weed Picker x15 + 2 burpees OYO (HCES entrance)
- Windmill x10 + 3 burpees OYO (road between HCES/RRMS)
- Merkins x10 + 4 burpees OYO (RRMS lot)
- 5 burpees (road to the skunk wall)
YHC then instructed the Pax to partner up for
The Thang
Somewhere in the Warmarama, YHC decided we’d be doing ladders today, inspired partly by my good friend @barrister
- Partner 1 does People’s Chair on the Skunk Wall; Partner 2 runs up hill and does squats
- Mosey to big hill by track for reverse plank at bottom; burpees at top
- Back to skunk wall for donkey kicks at the bottom; WWII sit-ups at the top
- Final ladder involved us moseying back toward the golf club and doing a 10-2 burpee ladder at various stops

- Thanks for joining me today men. Between Iron Pax in September and Octoburpee, I worried my Qs might be getting less popular. But 17 strong this morning shows otherwise.
- @disaster may be regretting reposting an @gump backblast that has served as my Warmarama inspiration the last few Qs. Who doesn’t love burpees as a warm-up?
- Props to @(rickie)focker for fully embracing the damp and penguin sliding down the big hill during that ladder.
- Welcome back to @thickburger. Where’s he been? Who knows, but he’s back now!
- YHC had an unsuccessful flying EH during our first ladder. That guy probably felt good about his choices as he did laps on the track while we did burpees on the other side of the fence.
- Congrats to @chowder for winning the Q Title Belt in September.
- We need a couple volunteers for Gremlin stuff. See @poutine.
- Still time to sign up for the 20k to End 2020 Challenge: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IoeLBf-LS_w4WwIF270Gb25-zMr-uURe4fgDPO1OeUU/edit#gid=0
- Prayers to @pacino and his family as they grieve the loss of his father in Lebanon
