Backblast! VQ in The Fort Region

I introduced some of the pax from The Fort to Anchor Bar’s Famous Chicken Wings. The Anchor Bar is a restaurant in Buffalo, NY that is famous for the first place to serve chicken wings as we know them today. More on that below. In my 8+ years doing F3 this is my VQ outside the Rock Region. It was a great morning meeting new pax.
WARMUP:
The disclaimer was given and we warmed up with:
- 1 dozen Windmills IC
- 1 dozen Imperial Walkers IC
- 1 dozen Hillbilly Walkers IC
- 1 dozen Low Slow Squats IC
THE THANG:
This 4-Corner workout was inspired by the way chicken wings were originally served at The Anchor Bar. Back in the day wings were served by the dozen mild, medium, hot or extra hot. So, each round of 4-corners consisted of a similar exercise at each corner progressively getting a bit more difficult. 1 dozen of each exercise were performed OYO.
- Round 1 - Flying Squirrels, Burpees, Diamond Burpees, Hand Release Burpees
- Round 2 - Rosalitas, Hello Dollies, Freddie Mercuries (Double Count), Flutter Kicks (DC)
- Round 3 - Carolina Drydocks, Merkins, Diamond Merkins, Hand Release Merkins
- Round 4 - Seal Jacks, Side Straddle Hops, Smurf Jacks, Bomb Jacks
- Round 5 - LBC’s, Gas Pumpers, V-Ups, Big Boy Sit-ups
With time remaining, we did my “hot wing eating contest”. In my hometown there was a restaurant the would have a hot wing eating contest where they would give each contestant a pile of their hottest wings (Volcanic). Whoever ate the most in the allotted time was the winner. My F3 version was Balls To The Walls until one pax remained in the position. Your “wings” are sure to burn when you’re down.
MARY:
No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Announced.
COT:
Band Camp took over from here and led a great discussion on Not Looking Back. It revolved around the passage in the Bible where Lot’s wife looked back and was turned in to a pillar of salt. Once we pick up our cross to follow Jesus, we should not turn back to our wicked ways. Instead, keep our eyes looking forward affixed upon Jesus. It is easier said than done.

I’m not doing the discussion justice, so I urge Band Camp to add more in the comments.
