Are You Ready For Some Football? BNW 7-25-18

QIC: Burns

When you’re a teacher, you get the summers off. When you get the summers off, you can write up a backblast rather quickly. Here you are:

PAX: Cobra, Toe-tag (WD), Full Nelson (WB), TPS, Winklevoss, Closer, Le Freak, Honkey Tonk, Poncho, Bluto, Interference, Burns (QIC)

With only one month remaining until the illustrious matchups between Prairie View A&M/Rice, Hawaii/Colorado St, and Wyoming/New Mexico St, I felt a tribute to the return of college football was a fitting theme for this morning’s workout. @Winklevoss said that’s what got him out of bed this morning, so I’ll call it a success. College football is back, baby!

Warm-O-Rama:
SSH x20
Arm swirly things forward x10
backward x10
Seal clap x10
OH clap x10
ISTs x15
Copperhead squat x10

The Thang:
The loosely cobbled football theme was drawn from every football announcer who has ever called a long touchdown run – “breaking free down the sideline, 15, 10, 5, touchdown!” A bit of a reach, but we performed a group of exercises 15, 10, and 5 times while increasing the distance of our runs in between sets. Six groups of three exercises, three running distances (~30, 60, and 90 yds). So, after repping group 1 x15 run 30, x10 run 60, x5 run 90, meaning altogether there were 30 reps of each exercise & 18 sprints.
Set 1: Curls, KB Swings, Squats
Set 2: Skullcrushers, Upright Row, Lunges
Set 3: High Pull, Low Flutter, Reverse Lunges
Set 4: Front Raise, WWII, Calf Raise
Set 5: Diamond Merkin, American Hammer, Dead lift
Set 6: OH Press, KB Swings, Side Lunges

5MOM:
Abe Vigoda (very slowly) x5
Yoga sequencing from high plank position.

Music this morning came from a long list of ESPN’s college football intro music. You can find the playlist here, if interested.

Shmedfest hasn’t been cancelled yet. Drink at Wise Man on Tuesdays in August to help raise money for Crisis Control.
@Swiss Miss has a birthday coming up.

Prayer request for my M’s family, her grandmother is in and out of the hospital and becoming more delirious each week. YHC took us out with gratitude.

Thanks for the keys, @Cobra, I had a blast Qing this AO.
