The BackBlast:

So when YHC saw a Monday forecast of 18 for a low, I was a bit nervous, not realizing that in Chicago it can get colder as the day wears on. So 32 degrees seemed downright balmy. 14 rugged souls posted on this “steamy” Monday….WarmUp – Motiv 8, FrontBackGo’s x for a little while, Toy Soldiers x 15, PPK’s x 15, Manmakers x 15, Windmill x 15, HillB Squats x 15, Backy Backs x 15. Mosey to the Turf Field for 5-55’s. Pax ran(sprint, skip, Carioca, backpedal, etc) 55 yds atta clip, and did some shite, in cadence, after each scamper, increasing each time by 5, until 55 reps of last exercise were completed. So…Run 55 yds plus Shredders 5, Run 55 plus Spider Merkins 10, Run 55 plus 6-Count Burpees 15…keep this pattern going to complete Mike Tysons 20, BHurleys 25, Merkins 30, Heels to Sky 35, Plank Jacks 40, SSH 45, LBC’s 50, Imp Walkers 55. (hence…5-55’s)..mosey back to AO for Mary..Box Cutters, Dolly, Plank Leg Lifts, American Hammers. TAOITB’s! Great energy by the Pax today. Linus said 55 Imp Walkers might be a record. (Dubious record, at best.) YHC asked the Pax to replace the phrase “have to” with “get to” more often. We’re pretty damn lucky in general. Honored to lead. F3, Baby!
