The BackBlast:

Intro:

When YHC realized a Q slot was opened so close to the Pearl Harbor anniversary, there was incredible excitement to lead men in remembrance of such an important date in history. Putting a workout together worthy of this date became difficult to strike the right chord. Luckily, searching backblasts throughout F3 Nation brought up a workout that was truly worthy of the date.* Don’t be afraid to dig a little…this dandy was circa 2018!!!

Mission and disclaimers were made to the PAX ready to work!

Warm-o-Rama:

A mosey around the parking lot for a quick heart rate acceleration. PAX circled up to find MANY PAX rolling in hot, but that’s OK…I knew they’d need their energy for this monster.

A quick jaunt down to the basketball courts where the dreaded Cones sat waiting.

The Thang:

To commemorate the attack on Pearl Harbor, YHC split PAX in pairs for the following:

PAX A – run a burpee suicide drill (ladder run to 3 cones with increasing burpees at each cone: 1 @ 1st cone, 2 @ 2nd cone, 3 @ 3rd cone). Upon completion flapjack with PAX B, who is working on the KAMIKAZE workout that was set up in a BOMB format:

K – kraken burpees (25) – burpee with THREE clap merkins** at the merkin movement

A – American Hammers (50) (1:1, 2:2, 3:3,…)

M – Merkins (75)

I – Iron Squats (100) – Hands at side, squat to thighs parallel, hold and put arms out parallel to ground (Iron Cross style), bring arms down, rise to standing

K – Knerkins (125) – knuckle merkins

A – American Hammers (150) – (1:1, 2:2, 3:3,…)

Z – Zebra Kicks (175) – Plank position, bend 1 knee such the foot is straight in the air, kick high. Movement is 100% glut action (1:1, 2:2, 3:3…)

E – Enola Gay Sit-ups*** (name of 1st bomber to drop an a-bomb) – WW2 sit-ups (200)****
