And that’s because I took a week to write the backblast.
The Thang
Warm-up (All IC): SSH x 30; Imperial Walkers x 30; Windmills x 15; Low Slow Squats x 25; 8-count Body Builders x 15 (Apparently this week’s warm-up area was much cleaner than the one Torque likes to choose).
Back to the flag for some GRT training. I brought a ruck to share. We circled up. One man did Shoulder Presses in cadence while the rest of us did two 8-count body builders. So that’s 8 shoulder presses and two body builders before the ruck is passed to the next man. We did two sets so each man did 16 shoulder presses and 28 body builders.
From there we headed to the levee for 5 rounds of Tyson D’Han style. Start at the top of the levee, run down to River Road for the 10 reps of the prescribed exercise, back up and over the levee to the other side for 10 more reps, back up and over to River Road again for 10 more reps, then to the top to plank and wait for the six. We did the following exercises:
- Merkins
- Lunges
- Hello Dolly
- Donkey Kicks
- Burpees
Quadraphilia – 4 minutes down the levee and back up always facing River Road. #crowdpleaser
Back to the flag for Jack Webb – 1:2 ratio of merkins to air presses ascending to 10.

Moleskin
- T-claps to Chobani for posting on his trip to New Orleans. He asked for prayer as he prepares to travel to Greece for a church plant.
- T-claps to the D’Han krewe for their continued run of successfully naming FNGs.
- The levee at Troubled Waters is a definite asset.
- The Croissant Sandwiches at Donut Land are another asset. As are the Apple Fritters and the Bacon Maple Donuts.
- T-claps to Joe Dirt for his box jumping skills demonstrated after the workout. T-claps to YHC for having enough sense to not try what he did
- I thought it would be cool to show the pax how I packed my ruck. They decided it looked like I was smuggling coke into the AO.
