BACKBLAST:

Warm up!

With two FNGs, we went over the 5 core principles.

One of the core principles, then 5 merkins (repeat until all 5 said and 25 merkins completed)

Monkey Humpers 10ic

Groiners 10ic

Imperial Storm Troopers 10ic

Toy Soldiers 10ic

Mountain Climbers 10ic

 

Mosey to shed and each PAX gets 2 bricks

 

The Thang:

X10

Bricks together, press forward

Standing “bench press”

Shoulder flies (back and forth)

Shoulder flies (up and down)

 

Lay on belly with bricks

X10

Cross bricks over head at a diagonal

Shoulder press while on ground

Swing arms up and down like a SSG

Bricks on ground

X10

Jump in and out of bricks

Brick cleans

Shoulder press

Brick punches

X10

Chest press out

Shoulder press

Squat

Thrust

 

Curls x10

 

Abdominator X10

 

Repeat sets of 9 reps, then 8. We only made it down to 8…😂😂😂

 

Game:

Shuttle run style. 2 teams. One PAX at a time does a burpee, takes a brick to the other side, burpee, runs back. When all bricks at the other side, reverse process to get the bricks back to starting line. Losing team had 10 penalty burpees while the winning team planked and did merkins in same count.

 

Put bricks back in shed, and mosey back to flag.

Motivator 5-1, due to time.

 

12 lb. bricks get heavy really quickly!! I hope you can all feel your shoulders tomorrow…haha.

 

Thanks for hanging in there, guys!!
