Mutt BackBlast: A little tug to get the day started right 


Pax: Wham!, Digiorno, Spinal Tap, Fall Guy (respect) OldBay, Tiger, Wedding Singer, Vincent (respect) Mouth, OJ, GlenRoss, Zoolander

QIC: Zartan

Conditions: Glorious morning of 42 degrees 


 No need to dress for the Siberian plains today. No rain and a nice chill in the air made for ideal conditions to commence our mission: to get better. 

Disclaimer made so we started with 5 Boy-Os to get the blood flowing. We did some stretching and I asked OB if stretching before a run was really needed since it’s cold. His response: “Because we are Old? Yes we should stretch.” I think he knew what I meant. With legs loose we took of on a 1.2 mile jaunt through the neighborhood. Tried to keep a 8.5 minute pace but running is not my speciality. Waited once for 6 with some SSH and continued on our way. 

Once back at the school the 80’s music began to play (shocker) and it was time for some COP

20ish SSH IC

15 or 20 IW IC

Maybe something else. Not sure 🤔 

Thang 1

Incline Merkin Coupon Lunge Burpee 11’s. So that’s a mouthful but it is 10 incline Coupon Merkins, 10 Coupon lunges and 1 burpee. Than 9,9,2 and 8,8,3. You get the picture. We made it to 3,3,8 (I think) before I realized we needed more time to finish WO. 

Left coupons at feet for some Mary. Big Boy sit ups on Qs count. 20 LBC IC. 10 Box Cutter’s IC. And finished with Phiffer Kicks on Qs up and down. Heard some grumblings during kicks so add a few extras. 

With coupons still in play we went for some  incline merkin coupon press Jack Webb’s. Also called Block Webb’s. These f@%#’n sucked. 1:4 ratio and again in the interest of time and strength we went to 6:24. 

Brought coupons back to their home and PAX did 15 dips OYO and 15 Step Ups OYO. Final 1/4 mile lap around school and we were done. 

Count-o Name-o and Q forgot to call 6. Pretty sure it would have been Mouth and we all have heard the origins of his name. He has a nice mouth 👄 🍆. (Also happy late 40th buddy) 

Intentions were made for families in need and a shout out of thanksgiving to the Sky-Q for all blessings. 

As always, much appreciate the work today boys. We got better ✅ We started the day strong ✅ And we were there for each other throughout ✅ 

Humbled to have lead this group of HIMs today
