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:

  1. Curls
  2. Chest Press
  3. Kettle Bell Swings
  4. Mountain Climbers
  5. Overhead Press
  6. American Hammers
  7. Bent Over Rows
  8. Goblet Squats
  9. Gas Pumps
  10. Bonny Blairs
  11. Skull Crushers
  12. WWII
  13. 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.
