BACKBLAST: 7/22/25 @ The Hub – No Pain, No Gain @ 46

QIC: Dr. Freud

PAX: Heisenberg, HHH, O.G., Little Minion, Mr. Incredible, Lights Out!, Campbells, Mufasa, Atticus

WARM-UP: ALL IC – Bean Pickers x 12, Willie Mays Hayes x 8, Good Mornings x 8, Hillbillys x 12, Arm Circle Complex x 8, SSH x 15

THE THANG:

4 x 6 for 46: 6 different exercises each for 46 reps with 4 rounds planned. The exercises were: Merkins, Squats, Military Press, Curls, Dips, 2-Arm Row. 1st Round was together with subsequent rounds OYO. We started at the portico for 46 Merkins (2 sets of 23), Mosey to first light pole for Squats (2 sets of 23), then mosey to the next light pole for 46 Military Press (one set), mosey back to the light pole with coupon for 46 Curls (2 sets of 23), and then to the portico for 46 dips (2 sets of 23), and then back to the light pole and coupons for 46 Rows (2 sets of 23). I had planned to do three more rounds for four total rounds, but time was not on our side, so we all completed 3 total rounds.

Mosey to church wall. Wall sit while each PAX completed 4 jump squat. Back to the beginning and continue wall sits with each PAX completing 4 WWIs, then back with 4 Bay City Scissors, and finally back with 2 burpees.

MARY: 46 LBCs

MOLESKIN: My body hurts a bit from this. Felt like my arms were a bit jelly-like by the second round. 46 reps of each exercise was no joke! All the PAX absolutely crushed it, as I felt like we all kept up together with the two rounds OYO and blasted through each exercise! I really wanted four rounds (okay, I didn’t!!), but time was not on our side.

My WOW was short: Getting old isn’t a whole lot of fun, but age is relative. A lot of PAX (myself included) have had big setbacks this year with surgeries and injuries. But age really is just a number. While my body doesn’t feel the same as it did 20, 10, or even 5 years ago, age brings wisdom and appreciation. I definitely appreciate things a lot more today than I used to, and I’m able to see the big picture more clearly. So don’t focus on the negative with your age; focus on the positive!

Thanks for coming out to celebrate with me today. Thanks for all your hard work and for pushing me (as you always do!). 46 is going to be a great year. Keep focusing on the positives and all the blessings God gives us!
