Backblast! QvQvQvQ Finale 2024

Leave a comment

WARMUP: River Rat led us in Side Straddle Hops and Windmills before taking off to the RV Lot
THE THANG:
Anchor Bar kicked things off:
Starfish routine with coupon:
5 Manmakers
Ex 1 – 30 Jump Squats
Ex 2 – 30 American Hammers – DC
Ex 3 – 30 Big Boy Sit-ups
Ex 4 – 30 overhead Flutter Kicks – DC
Return to the center after each exercise for 5 Manmakers.

Since Esso planned to use the same parking lot he went next.
6 groups of men and exercising in cadence while one group member plays with Cindy:
• Mountain climbers IC > 5 Cindy Manmakers
• SSH IC > 10 Cindy swings
• 6 ct burps IC > Cindy overhead carry
Message: Ignite your fire, use F3 as your fuel, let the fire spread. :fire:
Next Homer led us out the entrance to a brand new feature of the AO. Stairs to the overflow parking lot. There we had 4 coupons and they started with the 4 Qs then passed among the PAX on each trip up and down the stairs. Each PAX also stopped for 10 squats at the top and bottom portions.
Message: share your heavy burdens.
Lastly Bandcamp tookover the group:
Crawl Bear an uncomfortable distance to the starting point using some feature of the AO
4 corner transport:
Burpee Broad Jump
Bear Crawl
Lunge walk
Toss 12 sand bags over the shoulder
Rinse and Repeat
Keep going!

Message:
Who is it that we say we are?
If you get tired, learn to rest.
There is no quitting.
You don’t get to decide when you can stop.
Who is it that we show people we are?
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Homer came out victorious mainly due to votes received for use of AO. Thanks to all who participated in 1 or all 4 weeks. It was great to see some bonding between the regions through this event. Don’t be afraid to cross the river.

Don’t take it for granted.

Leave a comment

Warmup:

47 SSH (IC)
20ish merkins (IC)

Mosey around the elementary school car line.

Killer B’s:

Bearcrawl 10 yards do ten burpees
Bearcrawl 10 more yards do 20 bombjacks
Bearcrawl 10 more yards do 30 BBS

Broad jump all the way back to the start. Do this 3x

15:00 minute time limit.

After this I asked the pax if when I put the time limit on the routine it made them push harder or slack off. The point being we all have a time limit. Our time is finite, if they’d true then why not push yourself… why not try and maximize your minutes?

2nd routine Pick your poison:

Since Duquesne made the tournament for the first time in 47 years everybody got to choose how they wanted to get 47 reps in.

47 HR OR Diamond merkins
Run a lap
47 Jump Squats OR Lunges (2-cr)
Run a lap
47 (4-CT) flutters OR HD
Run 2 Laps

This took us straight to COT.

Men…Maximize the minutes given to us. Lost time is never found again.

👊👊👊
