Discussion questions:

“Where in your life are you kind of running solo right now… and if you’re honest, how’s that actually going?”
“How do you decide if a guy is someone you can actually rely on—not just a good dude, but someone you’d link up with in leadership?”
“When have you seen someone’s true colors show up under pressure—good or bad?”
“What’s something hard you’ve gone through with other guys that actually brought you closer?”

Echo-Q
Ukulele
Opening and we warmed up walking to bottom of hill.
Beatdown we ran down to the wall and did 5 times up and down the stairs. Ran back to the hill and ran that up and down 5 times. Ran back to wall and stairs 5 times. Got back to the hill and we walked up and down 6-7 times due to my side hurting. GREAT conversation with Ukulele. He is wise beyond his years!!!!

Warm-up: none, we went straight into SSH

The “Thang”:

54 min AMRAP of SSH divided in 3 18min phases.
Each Phase is broken into 6 minute segments where you can start doing SSH again if you had dropped. The 6 minute segments were divided in 2 for 3 minutes of alternative exercises when you stop doing SSH.
Phase 1 Exercises: Step Ups in the first 3 minutes of the 6, and flutter kicks in the second.
Phase 2 Exercises: Crab Cakes and then Never Surrenders
Phase 3 Exercises: Flying Squirrels and then Cactus Squats
All exercises in cadence with the tempo of the song playing.

With and Without You

Some took the title to mean that their presence wasn’t requested. The “you” in the title was in reference to an inanimate object. For those who decided not to show up, I guess they will just have to read this backblast to figure that out.

So, we did exercises (such as a man maker) with a coupon and then a similar exercise (burpee) without a coupon.

In between each round we did suicide shuffles, sprints, runs and runs backwards.

A good time was had by all who HC’ed.

Warm-up: Unknown

This BB is being written 10 days after the beatdown, so I can’t remember the warmup. Probably SSHs.

The “Thang”:

Two lines of cones were spread apart 50m apart. PAX traveled to and from the far set of cones by animal MOT before switching to a new animal MOT. Full completion equaled to a half-mile of animal movements. The MOTs were the following, in order:

Inch Worm Crawl
Frog Jump
Crab Walk
Murder Bunny
Duck Walk
Ape hop
Alligator Crawl
Bear Crawl

Count-O-Rama: 5

Spreadsheets from the Gloom: It was like the impossible mile, at the zoo. And it sucked. 100m of some of those movements was awful, but somehow Big Spoon still managed to finish just in time. And for as challenging as it was, it was not nearly as brutal as the impossible mile. Doubling the distance and cutting the number of MOTs in half might make it a solid comparison, as long as the alligator crawl is not involved. That exercise is awful.

Beastly tracks made up the playlist for this one:

“Animal” – Pearl Jam
“Rooster” – Alice In Chains
“Man Or Animal” – Audioslave
“Monkey Wrench” – Foo Fighters
“Animal I Have Become” – Three Days Grace
“Guerilla Radio” – Rage Against The Machine
“Animals” – Nickelback
“Apache Rose Peacock” – Red Hot Chili Peppers
“Possum Kingdom” – Toadies
“Rats” – Pearl Jam
“Bullet With Butterfly Wings” – The Smashing Pumpkins

As always, appreciate the opportunity to lead this one.
