The BackBlast:
8 PAX came together in the Franconia Park gloom for a Pinto led Vision Quest themed beatdown (based on the 1985 motion picture). YHC was happy to see the smiling face of a familiar FNG; and wanted to make sure that he got the full experience.
In the movie Vision Quest Thompson High School wrestler Louden Swain decides to undergo a grueling training regimen to drop two weight classes so that he can take on undefeated wrestler Brian Shute. Along the way he comes of-age; falls in-love with a much older woman, and must navigate the balance between his wrestling goals and his new love interest.
The Warmup:

The Beatdown:
Songs from the Vision Quest Soundtrack. PAX partner up and alternate between the exercise and a mosey. When the song changed; the exercise changed. 10 rounds of exercise were planned; however only 7 could be completed in the allotted time (which was somewhat expected).
Step-ups w/coupon (on your shoulders) are an homage to a scene where Louden goes to put Brian Shute on notice that he plans to wrestle him. Shute is walking up and down the bleachers of a stadium with a telephone pole on his shoulders … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BiC3OUNFqE
