From This Sucks to It Blows- the Ultimate Compliment
All The Dawg House BackblastsOctober 1st, 2021
YHC arrived on the scene early to find MASH running around in the parking lot. It was obvious the excitement had already started for this Friday morning fest. Habs was there waiting for me just like he said he would. The others rolled in and 5:30 hit, the disclaimer was given along with Ticonderoga’s version of ‘if you get hurt, suck it up, we’ll point you to your car’. We started hopping in place until Buck got parked, got his things together and then the fun began.

Mosey to the tennis courts for the routine
- 5 pullups (met with great approval by Buck as he started to clap- the others held their excitement in check)
- B.L.I.M.P.S starting at 1 burpee, 2 lunges (each leg), 3 IST (each leg), 4 merkins, 5 plank jacks, 6 squats
- take a lap around the three tennis courts
- Repeat the above with 5 pullups and reps starting at 2 burpees, 3 lunges, etc
- Keep up the trend with reps starting at 3, then at 4, and then at 5
- Pickup the six
Just so the Strava picture will look balanced, switch tennis court sets and repeat the whole thing. This is when Uecker made his comment to Hokie Pokie that the workout just went from SUCKS to BLOWS. The ultimate compliment for any F3 beatdown. Can’t be too easy or why show up?!? I never heard Blue Chip voice his opinion- no doubt this stuff is too easy vs. his years of service workouts.

- Pickup the six
For those counting at home, that should have been: 50 pullups, 30 burpees, 40 lunges, 50 IST, 60 merkins, 70 plank jacks, 80 squats, 10 laps
Since Yellowcake had to bail early in order to go fix the Frosty machines at Wendy’s (seriously Yellowcake, thanks for working to keep the lights on for us), he missed out on the extra credit. To the baseball field bleachers for
- 10 man ups
- 10 step up (each leg)
- Repeat 2x for total of 3 sets
