EMOM and stuff

Posted on Leave a commentPosted in Backblasts

I made the decision to NOT administer the IPC challenge at BOHICA for one main reason. I didn’t want to. So instead I searched and searched and found an appealing beatdown and modified it. At the appointed time, I gave the disclaimer and we started the debacle. Had to admonish Zamboni that there was only […]

It was quite a day at Anthill this morning. 16 Pax gathered in the gloom for a post Labor day beatdown. It remarkably less humid. Toxic said he almost forgot my name. at 5:30 I circled everybody up and decided to start things off a little bit different. After disclaimer I asked everyone to look […]

I posted a pre-blast introducing the Mastodon beat down, a ten  station circuit workout, sure to put the likes of the Manatee to shame. It did. Here’s what happened…. Disclaimer Warm up Ssh, Hillbillies, Prisoner Squats, reachers The Thang We did a slow mosey of the course so that the packs could get an idea […]

This Bud’s for you.

5:30 am. Conditions: Gloomy, damp. Toxic level: 7.3 I decided to morning in a Heisenberg-ie way, so once the disclaimer was given, instructions were given to hug the Pax to either side and tell them you were glad they showed up. Jumanji tensed up and was Zamboni’d. Perfect way to start. Warm up stuff: LBACF- […]

There’s so much to unpack here, so let’s just get to it. On Sunday, I posted in Slack that if you are coming to Kessel to bring a pair of bricks. After a text exchange with my shieldlock I added that if there isn’t and inventory around the house to bring a set of dumbbells […]

It’s Sisyphus

Posted on 1 CommentPosted in Backblasts

3/28/23 Conditions: Dark and humid Toxic- Normal Jumanji-Crustier than usual. As I’m sure all of you are aware, Sisyphus was the kind of Ephyra. He cheated death so Hades punished him by forcing him to roll a huge boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down once he got to the top. […]

6 years later, it still sucks.

Today was my 6-year F3 Anniversary and I could think of no better way to celebrate it than by recreating the first beatdown I experienced. Lovingly designed by Lifo, this was a minimal running suck-fest that I tweaked ever so slightly. On slack the night before I posted that the burpee rule would be in […]

The Heisen-Dora?

Posted on Leave a commentPosted in Backblasts

Originally, I had intended to facilitate Week 5 of the IPC but after careful consideration, discarded that notion. I pulled out an old Backblast from Drone called The 1500-  A Dora that entails-1500 reps. I made some tweaks and came up with 1972, an homage to the year Heisenberg was born. Time was called, disclaimer […]
