The BackBlast:
6 PAX emerged from the darkness to get better – and when I say Dark – man it felt like Fall was coming because pitch blank and officially headlamp season.
The inspiration for today’s beat down comes from Tweaker for F3 Alpha in Atlanta – I stole/borrowed his Plus 5 idea and make a couple tweaks to fit our AO and some of my ideas.
Disclaimer was given – and even clarified the meaning of modify as needed.

Time to Mosey…or something
The Thang (PLUS 5)
The PAX started to Mosey Around the Track to the South of the Park.
I stopped them along the way to drop 8 cones – each with an exercise taped to it. We did 5 Reps of Each.
- Burpees
- Hand Release Merkins
- X Factor – IC
- Singlet Merkin (6 count each rep)
- Burpee
- Bonnie Blair (each leg does each rep)
- Dips IC – done at the small gazebo by basketball court
- Derkins – done at the large gazebo near volleyball court
After we completed one lap of 5 reps as described above, the PAX were instructed to do another lap, but PLUS 5 to the REPS. Then without break, do a 2nd lap with another PLUS 5 to the previous total (now 15).
The PAX crushed this, but that lap ended up being pretty hard.
To wrap up our workout we gathered around the flag and offered a tribute to the very raining stormy hike the Peak Bagger Crew attempted over the weekend – and played Thunderstruck with the PAX holding a plank and doing Burpees with each mention of THUNDER.
Luckily the clock ran out and we didn’t get through the last bit of the song. The crew was smoked – great work boys.
COT
- Presented Stimpy, the Site Q for Pigface, as well as the Weasel Shaker for F3 Salt Lake – a new shovel flag for Pigface. I might add, it was looking glorious in his selected purple color.
- Talked about Ax Throwing with Jimmy Choo
- Discussed our 3rd Anniversary as a Region, coming up in September
- Started thinking about when to do Iron Pax as well.
Today was definitely a day where the workout didn’t seem that hard on paper, but turned into a pretty big effort for the PAX.
Kudos to these men for stepping into the Gloom and getting better today.
Until next time,
ThighMaster
