Stairway to the hurt locker

The BackBlast:

Today was a cold 28 degrees that made it perfect for a high impact Muschamp Q.

WhatDid opened us up with a brief COP to ensure all pax were present and gear was ready. The pax didn’t know what was coming next.

Our man Grizz showed early to unlock the Stairway to the hurt locker – 120+ steps up 7 levels. WhatDid then led the pax up the stairs with all your gear – Sandbag (40+#), Ruck (30+#), Kettlebell (30+#) and cinderblock (30+#).

Rinse and repeat dropping one piece of gear at the bottom for 15 minutes. The pax only made it up 2x… some studs like Titan and Hollins were well on their way for 3 before we had to Muschamp the Q.

Bulge up next took the pax and their kettlebell over to St. Gabs for what… more stair work of course. Set of 25 single are rows, each side. Up the stairs and back for another set. Repeat 4X.

Bulge wasn’t letting up. He demonstrated that cadence calling is an area of improvement as he lead us in a Merkin & Plank Jack descending evolution – Starting at 12 and dropping by 4 each set. SmokeFest!

One of the original LionKillers(r) Stinger was up next. Back to the hot box to grab more gear and partner up. Ruck Up, grab and cinderblock and partner up. The call. Partner 1 carries the 2 blocks while Partner 2 does 7 merkins and then catches P1. Repeat all the way around the big block.

– Grizzly opening the stairwell for us was a blessing and curse. This climb broke people – YHC included. I missed that.
– Bulge running is to another set of stairs cause chaos – really round 1 wasn’t enough
– Stinger intentionally knocking my sandbag off my shoulder so I’d slow down. The call me out for doing shitty merkins. Which way is it?
– Titan and Hollins… and Cold Cuts just crushing the workout. Little chatter as action spoke louder.
– Diego Wormburner showing up to ShoreCard without gear. Yelp, I knew it was going to be bad for him. We geared him up and he was good to go.
– Eaton – First time working out with him. He has his own custom weight vest with his name on it. Pimp style.
– 40 Thieves accelerating all the way through to the end. Pretty sure he went for a 2nd helping somewhere today.
– Grizz with the assist. First he wakes up the homless in the hot box then opens up the town. Guy is a HIM just helping everyone out.
– Fly by visit by Dredd. He’s on IR and making a come back. He’s getting in shape to come workout with us again. Im operating under the SOP that showing up and catching up from the 6th is part of the recovery process – not waiting until you’re at the 12. Hey…. I don’t know I just read books and don’t write about them.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
