Hateful 7 – A Real “Back-Blast”

QIC: Rubber Ducky

Date: 12.1.2025

PAX: Rubber Ducky, Rollback, Van Gogh, Tammy, Palin, Lamb Chop, Drip

Freezing cold morning at The Iron Throne.  I got the call from Tammy to Q and you know the Duck has a hard time turning down that opportunity especially since I was the former site Q.  I had put up a magnesium lock to secure the coupons and so that it would not freeze.  Coming off a birthday, son’s birthday and Thanksgiving weekend, I knew some sweat and expenditure of effort would be required.  I wanted to do something simple, but not easy.  But I also wanted to get in some running to get blood moving.  Here is how that went.

Warmup

• SSH
• Abe
• Whirly
• Michael Phelps

The Thang

Each exercise with 20 reps then one loop around the track.  Upon return, 5 – burpees then repeat as many loops as possible.

Exercises:

• Swings (KB Style)
• Curls
• Squats
• Deadlifts
• Overhead Press
• Run the Loop
• 5 Burpees

This started out with some good ribbing at my playlist.  This was of course EDM recycled from TRQ that had a mix of songs from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and early 2000’s.  Mumble-chatter was strong the first 2 rounds.   Then the silence came and it became real.  VG, Rollback and Lamb Chop led the group with 6 loops. The rest of us got 5 loops.  Some, including YHC had to modify the last two rounds of deadlifts for bent over rows.  This was a true “Back Blaster).

We put up the coupons and went back to launch for Mary.  For Mary, YHC wanted to do something a little different.  We started with the usual:

• Low Flutter
• Muttons
• Alabama Prom Dates

Then YHC decided we needed some back stretching.  We had a mix of “Cat Arch”, “Down/Up Dog”, “All 4 Reach Through”, Mutton Hip Stretch, and Leg Crossovers for the finish.  I felt much better being able to loosen up post workout.

NMM

• VG went to Lesbia and got a new car (Subaru Outback). YHC too has been there, and they are fantastic cars.  The M has one and I had one when I first moved here.
• Lamb Chop finally got a little sleep this weekend. It showed because I was following him the whole time.
• Drip and Palin were both neck and neck on the mumble chatter.
• VG and Rollback were heads down focused the whole time. Very strong work.
• Tammy and I hung pretty close. He is doing a great job as the site Q and staying on top of things.

Announcements

• Samaritans Ministries need volunteers
• No Happy Hour and a Half this week due to Christmas Party
• Christmas party next Friday 12.12.2025 – Go ahead and line up sitters because there will probably be Shenanigans during and after with the concert.

Thanks again for letting the Duck lead Tammy.  Keys are by the dumpster inside the third block from the wall.
