The BackBlast:

10 PAX met in the Chieftain gloom for an Olympic themed beatdown lead by YHC (Pinto).

Just as the 5 rings of the Olympiad symbolize the uniting of the 5 continents; a workout of 5 segments was planned to unite the PAX in some musically accompanied pain!

As an added bonus we had our brother Axe from downrange (F3PugetSound) post for the workout (I understand he posted for another IV workout last week as-well)!

The Disclaimer was given.

The Warm-Up

Beatdown:

Opening Ceremonies – Thunderstruck – PAX planked during all 4:50 seconds of the song Thunderstruck by AC/DC.  On each mention of the word “Thunder” or “Thunderstruck” the PAX did a Merkin.

Track & Field – Indian Run – PAX did two of the longer loops trail looks at the parking lot in Indian Run fashion

Swimming – Individual Medley (named after the 4 stroke Olympic swimming event) – PAX conducted Burpees, Merkins, Flutter Kicks (2 Ct.), and SSH (all OYO).  Sets were conducted as 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10 Reps while song segments (all exactly 1:30) played.  If PAX completed the set before the song switched in the playlist that time was used for recovery).

Track & Field – Bolt45’s (named after Olympian Usain Bolt) – PAX did 15 half squats (standing to half-way), 15 half squats (half-way to full down), and 15 full squats (45 total reps all OYO), and once completed we decided to repeto one more time for everyone’s benefit.

Closing Ceremonies – 6MOM –
