The BackBlast:
Tex Mex outta F3 St Charles joined the Dip City crew for a 5:30 a.m. un Happy Hour.(ok, 45 minutes)…Warmorama consisted of a 1/4 mi run by GTL and me, as Homer and Tex Mex completed their e c Ruck..Then all of us completed 10-15 reps of Jump Rope Motivators, Hillbilly Squats, PP Kicks, M&M’s, Toy Soldiers, 6 Ct Burpees, and Windmills. For our pre-thang, we executed the brutal Welsh Dragons to 8.(4 count Bear Crawl, followed by 1 Merkin, 1 Shoulder Tap and 1 Plank Jack. Repeat 4 ct B C, but do two of the above, and progress up to 8 reps.) For The Thang, we ran over to L Michigan to do some Partner Suicides. For this, YHC pointed out 5 poles(about 80 yds worth)..Each two-man team ran to pole 1 for 5 Partner Plank Taps, then back to the start for 5 locked ankles Big Boi Sit Ups. Then on to the second pole for 10 Plank Taps, and back to start for 10 Big Boi’s. Then 15, 20 and 25 reps at the next 3 poles. We moseyed back to the AO, mixing in a sprint and some Bench Presses at Dip City’s new nautilus area. 3 Min of regulation Mary followed, and then the beat down concluded with our legs held off the ground to the duration of Johnny Cash’s “Ring Of Fire.” BTW, YHC played tunes throughout. Great to host Tex Mex for two days. He’s 6 weeks into F3, and brings an infectious energy to each Beatdown. Surfs Up, Chick Out.
