Tabata at Parliament
QIC: Ziggy Stardust
Date: October 14, 2025
PAX: Slowpitch, Adobe, Cruiser, Ziffel, Drama Queen, Superfly, Ronaldo, Ziggy (Q)
Blind Date had scheduled his Q for this date before having to get unexpected hernia surgery recently, so YHC agreed to a last minute switch and had to rummage through a big stack of cardboard to find a suitable beatdown. Decided on a tabata workout, which we got to after a quick warm up.
The idea with this tabata format was to perform three sets of each exercise before moving on to the next: 40 seconds exercise/ 15 seconds rest:
- Curls
- Chest Press
- Kettle Bell Swings
- Mountain Climbers
- Overhead Press
- American Hammers
- Bent Over Rows
- Goblet Squats
- Gas Pumps
- Bonny Blairs
- Skull Crushers
- WWII
- Monkey Humpers
Return blocks and time.
Enough complaining to make it satisfying for the Q.
Unfortunately this backblast is long overdue and YHC has the memory of a ‘respect’ (meaning almost none), so can’t recall much about the beatdown – but better late than never.
Side note:
Appreciated both Superfly and Starfish’s recent Parliament Q’s dedicated to their late fathers. YHC lost his father suddenly and unexpectedly almost 10 years ago. It’s something a few of us have experienced and never easy no matter how old you are. It’s great to honor them and all they have done for us – understanding it hasn’t always been easy for some of us, but acknowledging God’s role in providing what we may have needed to mold us into better men.
