The BackBlast:

Who knew when YHC first started in F3 that the most important thing that pax cared about was the playlist that the Q put together. Pax don’t fuss about merkins, squats and moseying around, even if that is all that you do for 45 minutes; but bring a playlist that doesn’t sit well with them, and they will let you know it.

YHC created a playlist that was going to motivate and energize the pax and that YHC thought would be well received. That was all good if any of the songs had played during the beatdown. Instead, Amazon thought they knew better and shuffled in songs that mostly made the pax question whether YHC should stick to picking exercises versus songs. YHC didn’t think he heard a single song that he selected to be played.

So, what was the thang we did while random songs played:
Tabata of more exercises than can be captured on a Weinke. Between sets, we moseyed around the Queens/Elon University campus.

One exercise to highlight, that also needs a name, is what YHC will describe as “knee ups while in tabletop” – while on all fours, lift your knees simultaneously off the ground then put them back on the ground – repeat until time is called. Innocuous until you do them continuously for 2 minutes.

There you have it.
