No, no – not the Prince song made famous by Julia Roberts in that Pretty Woman bathtub scene. Keep it simple, stupid. In this case, that refers to both the beatdown and this backblast. Jose had promised to boycott my Tuesday Q, as he was sure there’d be no backblast and hey, what’s the point of posting if it doesn’t help him to overtake the reigning champ Russo on the paxminer charts? I get it.
And there probably would’ve been no backblast, but seeing how quickly Jose knocked out his A1C three year anny blast this morning, YHC thought to himself, “C’mon Steve, get your s@#* together!” (Yes, YHC refers to himself both in the third person and by his f3 nickname. Totally normal.)
So yeah – simple beatdown. And hopefully effective. Well, effective for Shooter and I. I have a feeling Russo is such a machine these days (what with his four beatdowns a week), that it was a breeze for him. Speaking of breeze, it was a few degrees cooler Tuesday morning, and not nearly as brutal as it’s been. Despite that, though, there wasn’t much chatter. Maybe it was the fact that we didn’t have Bush or Hammer, or maybe it was just the 55 burpees at the top of the beatdown.
Warmorama : Usual business, torso twists, good mornings, IW’s, SSH’s, MC’s, etc.
Thang: Was supposed to be three series of 11’s:
1. Slurpees (burpees w/ star jump) at bottom of stairs, calf raises (4 ct) up top.
2. Merkins, broad jump length of the lawn, alt leg lunges (2:1)
3. Box cutters, bear crawl amphitheater hill, freak nasties.
We scratched the final set because hey, time flies when you’re beating the crap out of yourself. Quick set of step ups (no Bulgarians?!?) and freak nasties before settling in for a few mins of Mary. Russo prayed us out. Announcements: Bush’s fire fighter challenge Saturday. Appreciate the opportunity to lead such an excellent group of men. (And appreciate the inspiration/motivation to write the BB, Jose!)
