Merkin & Squat Apocalypse
All Harrisburg BackblastsMarch 21st, 2026
Q: Gold Rush ,
PAX: SS Minnow, Carpe Diem, Misfire, Gold Rush
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
Four brave souls posted at Harrisburg Park under the morning gloom. Unbeknownst to them, they had entered a brutal arena of merkins, squat torture, and unrelenting pain. Sixty minutes of battle later, only the resilient remained standing—stronger, sweatier, and victorious (by “only”, I mean everyone. We all survived).
Warmup
People’s warmup. Went around the horn with each person calling out a warmup. Wrapped up with some stretches.
The Thang
6 stops across the park. Get to each stop by doing high knees, bear crawls, and lunges. Mix in IST, stealth walk, and toy soldiers
