All Rolling Stone BackblastsApril 18th, 2025
Q: Pox
PAX: Detention, Vespa-Odell, Pox, Shadow
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
A light crowd of 3 stoners and one newcomer (welcome Shadow) hit the PoxBox for a now annual Good Friday beat down known as ‘by his wounds’. It went like this as we did a little suffering in remembarance of he who suffered for us
WARMUP: no time, just a disclaimer and then get to work
THE THANG:
‘By his Wounds’
3 Rounds for Time (35 min cap)
60 lunges (body weight)
39 double unders (singles)
72 shoulder to overhead with open barbell or KB
600 m run with slamball
3 sledgehammer tire hits
3 pull-ups followed by a 30 second hang
Meaning behind the WOD; Good Friday remembrance
60 = min apostle couldn’t stay awake in the garden during Jesus’s agony
39 = traditional number of lashes in a Roman scouring (just enough not to kill a person)
72 = number of thorns in the crown of thorns
600m = distance from pratoreum to Calvary which Jesus carried the cross (Christians have been walking this route for over 2000 years on this and many other days) (sorry slamballs had to take the place of large wooden beam)
3 = nails driven into Jesus’s hands and feet
3 = 3 men crucified (one on his right and left)
3 rounds = hours he hung on the cross
MARY: no time but one stretch
ANNOUNCEMENTS: none
COT: prayers for those in need and suffering today
Great to add a new name to the board, shadow you picked a tough one. Hope to see you back another week. Looks like we had a little bit too much fun at hump day last night by the light numbers this morning, it will be warming up and at hot pack will be back next week. See you in the gloom. I expect better numbers next time.
