Better late than never Backblast – we put the “Ab” in Abacus

Date:Friday April 19, 2019
QIC:Abacus
PAX:Abacus (YHC), Hokey Pokey, War Eagle, Grimace, Left-eye, Hawgcycle, Scantron, Rugaroux, Chips, Triple Shift, Darkwing Duck, 86, Hand Grenada, and FNG Prodigal Son

YHC enjoyed the Easter weekend with Friends and Family and was a bit tardy with this backblast. Well off we go. YHC wanted the workout to focus on our “ABS”. Also wanted to focus on some pull-ups as I don’t think we do these often enough.

On to the warmup as follows: (probably off a bit on some of the counts)

Windmills x 15, Grassgrabbers x 15, Self love – arm stretch (ode to Hawgcycle) (this brought some mumble chatter from the PAX), SSH x 15, Peter Parkers x 15, Nolan Ryan x 15 each side, Low slow squats x 15

Grab a rock and mosey to the playground – on top of the wood chips.

THANG 1 – YHC wanted a new exercise combo so we did a Febreeze – 2 Big Boy sit-ups then 10 air presses. Increase sit-ups by one and air presses by 10 until the last round we did 9 Big Boy sit-ups and 100 air presses. Somewhere along the way we lost count but finished strong.

THANG 2 – YHC continues with the Ab theme – each PAX does 10 pull-ups. While waiting for the pull up bars, all other PAX are doing flutter kicks on your own.

THANG 3 – Bench presses 5 count followed by 10 LBC’s. Increase bench press by 5 and LBC’s by 10 until we did 25 presses and 50 LBC’s.

THANG 4 – repeat of thang 2 – more pull ups and flutter kicks.

THANG 5 – random exercise – 100 monkey humpers

THANG 6 – bench presses with rock, combined with more flutter kicks

Bring rocks back to the pile – close it out with some Yoga type stretches with guidance from Triple Shift. I think we each did about 892 flutter kicks. COT, name-a-roma – FNG Prodigal Son, and closing prayer from War Eagle. Impromptu coffeteria due to Easter holiday for some fellowship was a great way to end the morning.

Thanks again to all – SYITG.
