Introduction

8/21/21 BLACK PANTHER

🔥🏀🛠🏀🔥 PREBLAST- THE BLACK PANTHER  – 8/21/21 7:00🔥🏀🛠🏀🔥

@channel  BP is THE place to be come 7:00am.  Bringing back a BP favorite.  Tomorrow we will put those coupons to work and set the nets on 🔥🔥 with a little friendly 🏀 Infused Beatdown Competition.  No spectators allowed here.  Start your morning off with one hour of Coupons, Cardio, Competition, and Fun.  Come join YHC as we look to 🔥heat🔥 it up at The Black Panther tomorrow. Come Get Some!  Coupons required.  HC below.

I reached into the archives to pull forward this BP favorite.  I made some minor tweaks from when I have used this beatdown before so my prep for this one was very easy.  I put up the PreBlast and early indications were showing a light attendance.  I checked Slack prior to bed and the HCs were starting to add up, which was great, because this workout is always better with a larger number of PAX.  (As it turned we had 14 PAX show up ITG.)  I woke up at 4:30 and hit the Citadel BC led by Clearcoat, who delivered 35 minutes of hill work.  I then headed over for a quick coffee at Java Plus with some of the PAX before making my way to BP.  I arrived there and there were already a few cars there along with some PAX starting to emerge from their vehicles.  I headed directly to the basketball courts and got things setup for the morning’s event before making my way back to the flags.  It was a nice morning with temps around 72 degrees and it did not appear all that humid, although my reading showed 92%.  As I began my individual pre-warmup stretching Elway pulled into the parking lot with Celine Dion blaring from his car speakers, although he claimed it was U2.  It was 7:00, so I got the boys circled up and got the workout started.

Count off by 2’s.  Grab coupons and mosey to basketball courts.  

PAX divide into their teams and go to their respective basketball court.

All PAX perform the exercises at the same time.  Start at baseline and perform exercise and rep as instructed by YHC.  Move to mid court and back and then back to the far baseline via the movement provided by YHC.   At this point each PAX has 1 0f 3 options to score points for their team:  Option 1: shoot a layup for 1 point, Option 2: shoot a free throw for 3 points, Option 3:  shoot a 3 pointer for 5 points.  One try only.  If you make it you get the points otherwise no points.  Run back to the opposite baseline and record your points.   Repeat until time expires.

Basketball-Infused Beatdown
This was a fun one today!  We counted off by 2’s to create our teams.

Team 1:  Fargo, Sosa, Elway, Judge Smails, Lewinsky, Crambone,  Sweet Gherkins

Team 2:  Handy Manny, DJ Sump Pump, Half Price, Flo, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Pork Rinds, Title IX,
Once the teams hit the court, trash talk went from 0-60 in 1 second and then kicked into overdrive for the entire workout.  Team 2 came out on fire with DJ and Half Price lighting it up from downtown.  Elway made it known that his back was hurting from trying to carry Team 1 each round.  Elway, Fargo, Lewinsky and others from Team 1 were engaging in banter with Team 2, in particular DJ and Pork Rinds.  There were many debates that needed to go to replay, i.e. whether feet were on the line, whether members were touching the baseline before shooting, whether shots were released before time, whether proper form was exhibited, etc.
After each round the losing team had to perform 5 burpees and I can say that the winning team truly enjoyed watching and critiquing the losing team’s form – which further fueled the fire between this emerging rivalry.
Team 2 held a commanding lead for the early rounds before Team 1 came alive for the later rounds (Although everyone is still scratching their heads as to how Team 1 was only able to come up with 7 points during a 4 minute round – this record will probably remain in the books for eternity).  Entering Round 10, what was to be our final round, due to time, Team 2 was leading 5 rounds to 4 rounds.  Team 1 pulled off the win in the final round to tie things up at 5 rounds apiece.  Then it came down to the tie-breaker, total points accumulated in all rounds.  In the end Team 2 came out victorious with a 6 point advantage (350 to 344).
All in all, it was a great morning with a bunch of great PAX.  As always it is a pleasure and honor to be part of this group and for you to allow me the opportunity to lead.  I hope everyone enjoyed themselves.
Until next time.
Handy Manny
