BackBlast: #The Storm 9/29/15- Wet T Shirt Contest

September 29, 2015 / / 0 Comments

BB #TheStorm 9/29/15- Wet T Shirt Contest

As I was driving to #TheStorm for the F3 workout this morning I was wondering how many of the PAX would fart-sack due to the rainy conditions.  I was expecting 4 or 5 of the regulars to show and that is about it.  I had 2 workouts planned based on the weather (inside/outside), but as I pulled into the parking lot at SCHS I saw 14 men (including myself) ready to go.  Seeing this dedication I decided no matter how bad the weather got we were staying outside in the rain/gloom.

Note: We put in 2.5 miles in during this workout….. that may be a record for BA during one of his Q’s.

WU:

During one of these planking sessions Godfather and BA both decided to channel their inner Ric Flair and have a Woo off while planking.  Nothing like hearing WOOOOOO’s go back and forth.

BackBlast #TheStorm: The Farmer, His Daughter Sally, and Their House

July 7, 2015 / / 0 Comments

14 PAX (Including 1 FNG) battled the GLOOM this morning at #THESTORM.

This morning we took on the farmer (farmer carries), his daughter Sally (Moby-Flower), and their house (cinder blocks).  There was only one casualty today as Godfather threw a cinder block and destroyed it in the process.  Some would argue that his arms didn’t work due to the exercises and he dropped the weight.  All in all the PAX dominated all three phases of the workout.

11 Men battled the GLOOM this morning for the workout at Goat Island.

The morning started out with a bit of a shock to the PAX when we found out the gates were locked to Goat Island Park, but that did not deter anyone.  The PAX set up shop in the parking lot, grass, and gazebo and got to work.  Music, Cinder Blocks, Benches, and a Gazebo made for a great morning.
