Backblast Prototype…Q-School, thing…

Backblast Prototype…Q-School, thing…

So here is Ackbar’s attempt at a Backblast, because that’s my homework. Posse and Moneyball were our teachers. The Force is strong with them, us students were ready to learn. So here we go, best I can remember at this late hour:

Warm Up

Prof Moneyball took us a mosey around the “normal path,” and either before or after lectured us of the necessity of the disclaimer. Don’t sue, don’t sue, your responsibility. Understood.

This was followed by 55 STH. Each student had to do five in cadence, and that added up quickly.

Then around the circle each student had to lead a brief warmup workout to get our pacing and counts right.

The Main Workout

We then Moseyed to front of middle school. We were instructed how to “watch for the 6,” or instruct the faster guys ahead of time to do Planks or Marys. No rest, as it were.

We then Partnered in Pairs:

1st – 50 Dips – One Partner does dips, 2nd Partner runs half of the parking lot

2nd  – 50 Steps Ups – One Partner does Steps Ups, 2nd Partner runs across the lot to the grass and back

Mosey to the big steps at the High School were a few buses park. It’s a handy loop for Stairs fun or Moneyball’s Triple Nickel Can’t Count Thing.

1st –  Calf Raises and 2 laps

2nd – Triple Nickel Can’t Count Thing. 5 burpees at the bottom, run up the hill, and 5 squats at the top. It cut off before I could finish my last round, thus the subjective counting thing. Just as well, I was running out of steam…so thanks!

Back to the Middle School for the Starfish. I think it was a Starfish, having 4 corners  and a “center of the universe,” a Moneyball quote.  We did 5 Speed-Skaters at the center and 5 low squats at the corners. That was fun.

Concluding with a Jail Break to COT.

The Moleskin

1. This name bothers me. Ever seen Naked Mole Rats? Their skin is freaky. Thank you NatGeo.
2. Posse and Moneyball are great teachers, but Moneyball kept me laughing too much. I really needed that extra oxygen…
3. Everyone worked hard and participated. Great questions too, some of the unsaid stuff being raised.

Announcements

Sorry I missed the coffee afterwards.

I learned what “hospital name” means. I literally thought “hospital? Someone sick?” In my field going to the hospital goes in that direction, not your actual name. Seriously, someone says “Brad” at Q and I’ll be genuinely confused.

Hope this cuts the mustard as far as a BackBlast goes. I’ll aim for more Star Wars illustrations when I do another.

Peace.
