November 10th, 2020 By Deadhead

As it was my first Q I posted a little early to run through things one last time before getting rolling, but as 0625 passed, I wondered if I’d be posting a backblast on a solo workout. However, no sooner than that negative thought entered my head, 5 achy-breaky HIMs showed up, strapped on a ruck and joined YHC for a fun-filled journey through the sandlot. Here’s how it went:

Warm Up

Disclaimer was given following a mosey to the far side of the parking lot.

• SSH x 15
• IST x 15
• Mountain Climbers x 15

Mosey to the tennis courts

 

 

The Thang

Rucks on. Music on. Let’s roll.

4 corners (to honor the late great Dean Smith, of course)

20 reps each corner

• Corner 1: Merkins, then lunge walk
• Corner 2: WW2, then sprint
• Corner 3: Air Squats, then reverse lunge walk
• Corner 4: Burpees

After making your way around the courts twice, mosey to the flag pole.

 

• Step-ups x 15 (each leg)
• Sprint to the benches
• Dips x 30
• Sprint back to the flag pole.

Repeato for 3 cycles then mosey back to the cars.

 

 

Mary

• LBC x 15
• The W (Wu-Tang Forever) x 15
• The Squirm x 15
• Free stretch for the final minute

 

Moleskin

• Lots of snapping, crackling and popping out there today. It seems like everyone was still recovering from Saturday’s legendary Harrisburg Bowl.
• It’s amazing how much difference having a ruck on during a beatdown makes. The lunge walks were killer even for a short amount of time. Next time I may reimagine the transitions. Apologies to everyone’s knees.
• Some excellent beat matching during the IST cadence from Chaos. You’d make John Williams proud.
• DT must’ve been an accountant in another life… “$8.50 isn’t $8.00!”
• Thanks to everyone for bearing with me while I figured it out today, it was an honor to lead. This group has had such a positive impact in so many areas of my life and I’m proud to be a part of it and finally give back.
• Race on Saturday… bring it.

SYITG…

Backblast, Harrisburg
