The Vortex has 25 pages of backblasts!

That is 246 ready to go Q's for anyone looking for inspiration. The Vortex launched in March 2014, but due to a typo, the very first BB is from 1/6/2014 (really 2015)

Seeing this wealth of tried and true beatdowns, YHC put absolutely no thought into today's workout and simply stole the following bits from the first few iterations of this wonderful AO:

Warm up:
SSH, Arm Circles, WMH, Slow Merkin, Slow Squat, IW

From an "Author Unknown" BB: https://f3churham.move-marketing.net/around-and-around-we-go/
"Reign of Terror (a favorite from the warmer days at #Bastille, pre-winter turf maintenance)
Run the perimeter of the field, stopping at each corner and each midline (8 stops) for dealer’s choice pain-o-rama."

Exercises called: Burpees, Wide grip merkins, Tuck Jumps, Single Leg Homer to Marge, more Burpees, etc.

From a Carlton Q: https://f3churham.move-marketing.net/tuesdays-with-merkins/
"Hit the playground for:

– Dips: 5,10,15,10,5 pyramid"
-Step ups: 5,10,15,10,5 pyramid

From a Toto Q: https://f3churham.move-marketing.net/yellow-brick-road-of-pain/
"Then the Ark Loader:
Bear crawl, sprint
Gorilla Walk, sprint
Crab Walk, sprint"

From a T.I. Q: Suicide Ladder: https://f3churham.move-marketing.net/animals/
"Run from the end line to the goal line and do 1 Romanian Deadlift, then back to the end line for 2 Romanian Deadlift, to midfield for 3 Romanian Deadlift, end line for 4 opposite goal line for 5, back for 6, opposite end line for 7 back for 8." (Romain Deadlift substituted for the original Merkins)

And we added the penalty boxes to work our way up to 10

Mary:
Someone left a soccer ball on the field, so a couple PAX took penalty kicks. Goal means no flutter kicks; a miss means flutter kicks.
Flutter kicks were done.

Great group, great weather, great site.

We'll miss Legally Blonde for a few weeks while he recovers from an ankle injury.
Funyun is getting married in under two weeks.
And Red October has the Q next week for a birthday celebration that will probably not involve cake.
