The Bear Backblast

A full case (12-Pax) of HIMs showed up at The Bear to sweat and sweat some more.  With TWO FNGs- including one that was being Emotionally Headlocked (EH’ed) for more than a year, the mission and disclaimer were presented and off we went, stealing ideas I picked up at F3 Carterico’s Rolling Stone and from reading one too many Bear backblasts where I failed to post.

 

WARM-O-RAMA:

SSH, 1 Burpee, Goofballs, Downward Dog (Both feet, LOR, ROL, Both Feet), Upward Dog

THE THANG:

Stop 1:

High School Front Steps- 10 Cuddys (Calf Raises) per step

Wall Sit with a 10-count down the line, Merkins, Wobbly Wall Sit (1 leg up with 5-count down the line), Wide Merkins, Wobbly Wall Sit with other leg, Ranger Merkins (Merkins were 20 on my down aka OMD)

Stop 2:

Mosey to benches on side of the school for dips, Heel elevated curb squats, tempo dips, toe elevated curb squats, narrow grip dips, and “cliffhanger” squats with heels hanging off the curb
