Back Blast – #theAgony @ #theCounty : 08/29/2019

Posted byJolly RancherPosted in#Louisville

When Meter Maid asked for some help to pick up his Q as he recovers from a re-injury of his calf muscle from the August ruck event, I scooped it up in a hurry. I’ve found that I always push myself harder when I Q – you can call it Q juice or call it just not wanting to be the six during your own set. Whatever it is, it works.

Weather:

Beautiful – 56 degrees and 96% humidity.

PAX:

  • Cochran
  • Alexa
  • Kimble
  • Scratch-n-Dent
  • Jerry Maguire (R)
  • Grizzly
  • Peach
  • Dutch Oven
  • Cratchit
  • PK
  • Pew Pew
  • Captain Crunchberry
  • Bulletin (R)
  • Pelican
  • Gilligan
  • Big Bird
  • Sandtrap
  • Jolly Rancher (Q)

Disclaimer was made; confirmed no FNGs; and we were off with a mosey to the front lot for some COP – turned out to be a quicker than normal mosey (see earlier comment on Q juice).

COP:

  • Started with a quick count off which confirmed we had even numbers. I love even numbers when partner work is the name of the game.
    • SSH – 20x – silent cadence (Retainer introduced this to me of the silent cadence where everyone had to halt at the same time – good times. We had a few extra half flaps, but good enough for government work.)
    • Downward Dog and Calf Stretches (We did various stretches and called upon random PAX for 10 counts – great way to incorporate FNGs and make sure everyone feels comfortable to step up and Q.)
    • Toy Soldiers – 20x – IC
    • SSH – 20x – IC
    • Grass Grabbers – 20x – IC
    • SSH – 20x – IC
  • We then set off for a mosey to the back lot while stopping by the coupon cache to pick up our weight for the morning.
  • The Thang – Diego:
  • Essentially this is similar to a Dora except five workouts – one PAX does the work while the other moseyed to the end of the parking lot. Five exercises were:
      • Weighted Merkins – 100x – this was not ideal for this, but I really wanted to do them – here PAX 1 put the coupon on the back of PAX 2 and PAX 1 went until failure – then PAX 1 removed the weight and did the mosey while PAX 2 did regular Merkins until failure.
      Overhead Presses – 150x.
      Skull Crushers – 200x (although we modified to 100 because these sucked really bad).
      Bench Press – 250x
      Curls – 300x (most only got to 200x due to time).
  • This one looked easy on paper. But the arms were smoked in a hurry.
  • Returned the coupons and moseyed back to the flag.
  • Time was called.

    • COT:

    • Countarama.
    • Namearama.
    • Announcements.
    • Intentions.
  • Always enjoy leading this group of HIMs!
  • Jolly Rancher out!
