Saturday Backblast – theO

E57BEF68-850F-4B8B-9312-AFBAAA6D198D

12 of Louisville’s finest HIMs had been pushing too many pencils this week, and it was time to muscle up at the O.  The Dirty Dozen included: DoubleDown, Wham!, Beancounter, Scratch, FNG (Adidas), Trump, Newman, Jordy, Cardinal, Loco, Tron, and Pope.

After a long week on the road, your Q was not interested in running. It was time to bulk up and beat down an inferior opponent before conference play begins.  No mosey, no Mary, no warm up.  With a gunfighter’s swagger, we walked over to a dark playground, ready for shootout at dawn.

The Thang:

8 stations – pushups (20), power alt lunges (30 second max effort), sit ups (20), mountain climbers (30 second max effort), bridge rows (20), burpees (10), squats (20), and pull-ups / coupon rows (10).  30 seconds at each station, then 30 seconds of rest before the next station begins. Rewind at least 7 times for a full 60 minutes.  We had a 30 seconds on and 30 seconds off counter clock, and we rocked out some tunes courtesy of Cardinal’s Bluetooth speaker.

Mumble chatter was great, as the PAX were were working together in close quarters. An Aerosmith ballad temporarily had Loco flashing back to his suavest grade-school mixer moments, while Jordy and Wham! shed tears as they reminisced over college glory days gone by. Say it ain’t so Q! As the energy level deflated, DJ Q shut the release valve on the PAX, and hit the skip button on the iPhone until we found some Australian proper AC/DC to finish off the WOD.

We circled up for some Name-O-Rama and got acquainted with one FNG, Addidas. Courtesy of a HUGE headlock from Trump, it really was a great headlock you should have seen it, we got to know the basics about Addidas without having to bribe anyone. He’s a trump colleague, dad, husband, UL fan, former St Raphael Giant, and resides in the highlands area as a member of St Agnes.  Welcome Addidas, please bring $160 million to the next WOD.  Pope offered a few prayers for the PAX and we bounced away ready to take on another day!
