BACKBLAST: Saturday, 01/18/24 MacGyver @ The Hub
QIC: HHH
PAX: Mickey Tints, Heisenberg, The Mick, 2005, Dr. Freud, Peyton, Class Act, Fat Tire, Boo Boo, and HHH.
We had 5 ruckers. During the ruck we found a rabbit’s front leg along the MO7S curb and Heisenberg had a brown bear attack around 0640. Luckily he maide it back in time for the beatdown. The wind was cold so we utilized the areas of the Hub where there was non. Here is what we did.
Warm Up
SSH (20 IC)
MNC (15 IC)
Bean Pickers (10 IC)
IST (10 IC)
Hillbillies (10 IC)
8 Ct. Body Builders (10 IC)
Light Pole Lap
The Thang
Grab 5 sandbags and mosey to Dumpster Lot and then we decided to go to the south lot by the back hill.
90 sec timer (PAX performing exercise when the timer goes off has to do 5 burpees)
PAX that got stuck with the sand bags had to do penalty burpees as well.
Instead of standing around, all of the safe PAX did 1 burpee.
Time Bombs (No count. Next PAX goes when PAX before finishes rep)
– Burpees (Low Plank Start)
– Mike Tysons (High Plank)
– Sandbag Pull-Throughs (L+R) (High Plank)
– Shuffle Merkins (High Plank)
Lot Lap
Mosey through trail to Pull Up Bar Area
– Shuffle Squats-pass the SB CCW(Al Gore)
– No Surrenders-pass the sandbag CCW(Al Gore)
– Squat SB Pass (L+R) (Al Gore)
– Pull Up burpees (Al Gore)
Trail Lap
Mosey to dumpster lot
1-5 ascending BDE burpee suicide
Partner up (2 rounds)
PAX 1: run down and back
PAX 2: AMRAP Sandbag Burpees
Mosey to Flag
Mary
Plank for about a minute
Moleskin
Surprised to see this Q still open earlier in the week since they get snatched up pretty quickly most months. Also, surprised to see so many still open. If you haven’t Q’d in a while, please grab one. 1 a month is a great goal!
I thought this Q would be fun, but adding the sandbags and the compound exercises made it tough to really get enough reps in. I originally planned for 2 minutes, but I think that would have been good for only a few of the exercises like the pull ups. I wanted to do repeatos for both rounds, but I knew we wouldn’t have enough time. However, I did have to come up with the last couple of exercises on the fly which is not my forte. At least we were out of the wind for most of the workout so I will count this as a win.
9/10 pax made it to coffeeteria. Mickey Tints couldn’t make it, but he has a lot going on and family comes first. Some great book discussions at coffee and Fat Tire did make it back with his 2.0s to get some fellowship in.
If you have Monday off, try to post at Patmos or Col. Wheeler. Tuesday and Wednesday will be cold, but support the Q and show up. Layer up. They will keep you moving so you can stay warm. Can’t promise that, but that is my guess.
Thanks for letting me lead and for following along in my stupidity.

These Troy Boys need to tighten things up a bit. Just me at 0530, so I did the Bean Pickers and MNCs by myself. Muck was the first to arrive and everyone else made it to the lot around 0532. All good though because I added a few minutes at the end so they worked out for the full 45. Also, thank you for all the guys that brought sandbags.
We probably did the thang for about 40 minutes. Gummy led the way and did a little more than 3 full rounds; hence why he was on of the POTD. We definitely could have ran faster if not for the slick parking lot. I honestly think the BDE burpees and CPRs were the hardest exercises. Although I bet some of the PAX that used the 60 will disagree. This was definitely worse than the Sharknado, but it helps we only did it for 40 minutes. I think we all got in at least 1.5 miles. I started my watch after the 4th exercise of round 1 so I can only go off of what each lap was.
Qing 5 days in a row is tough, but so is posting every day. I am not sure how you guys do it consistently. I am tired. T-claps to all of you for always showing up. I gave OCB the toilet seat because you can always count on him to show up and give it hell; just like he does on the shitter.
I hope others will make a run at the Golden Sombrero. It is always fun Qing at other AOs and hanging out with the guys you don’t get to see often.
We had to do coffeeteria at Biggby because The Sip was closed for renovations still. We did get a Kato drive by in the parking lot because he dropped off some 70’s shirts for me. He also took some videos, but not sure if it was for his own pleasure or for promo purposes.
Keep EHing and post tomorrow at Colonel Wheeler or Wicker Park.

BACKBLAST: Thursday, 1/02/25 Katticus @ Thicker
QIC: HHH
PAX: OCB, Crash, Federali, Coors, PacRat, Gummy Bear, and HHH.

Daft Punk Lunge (10 IC)
Perfect Merkins (20 IC)
Perfect Squats (30 IC)

5 minutes of PacRat Yoga.

It is nice traveling other AOs and catching up with guys you don’t see often enough. We had Gatsby pull a Starsky.
As far as the workout goes… mission accomplished. Hands down, tunnel of love was everyone’s least favorite. It doesn’t help when the ground feels like cement. Kato is known for excessive reps. Probably to buy some time to think of what he’ll do next. Atticus tends to do things to make the PAX moan and groan. In the end, I just wanted to make people complain and what better way to make a Katticus-themed WOD.
I hope you all do the Polar Bear challenge. 10 posts in January is doable and will help get you to a 100 posts for the year if that is your goal.
Back to work, so I must keep this short. Thanks for following my lead today. 1 more Q tomorrow at Troy and then I become the newest member and current holder of the Golden Sombrero. I hope I do not keep this longer than a month!
My WOW for today, keep EHing friends, strangers, and former PAX. Give it away, give it away, give it away now.
