All All MECA BackblastsAugust 27th, 2015
6 men rose to the occasion and posted to The Precinct for something a little different.
I stopped by Tradition on my way to pick up some fun from the pile of tricks in the Outback.

The Moleskin;
- I was a little worried that this workout would be a little too simple. It was simple, but it sucked! The only break was running with the bricks, but even they got heavy! Running with the sandbag just plain sucked!
- No complaining out of this group though! You all sucked it up and knocked it out!
- Great group of guys! I really enjoyed the 2ndF with everyone this morning!
- I feel like we got a little taste of what a GoRuck must be like. Which reminded me that I have no desire to ever do a GoRuck!!
- Always fun to hang at The Precinct! If you haven’t been to The Precinct, get over there! Awesome group of guys who love to push each other!
- I gotta come over here when I don’t have the Q…….

I enjoyed it this morning. Precinct is a great place to workout. Plus, it was such a different workout this morning. Nice job on that Dingo. Personally, I would rather run with the sandbag than the cinderblock. I could never get a good grip on that thing. Great teaming up with you @Field of Dreams and @Hot Wheels.
@Hot Wheels – I think you need to get Dingo some hot pink wheels.
I’m a little scared to see what Hot Wheels comes up with for my baby!!
That sounds a little creepy……
Um…I’m not entirely sure what you’re talking about. I was talking about the wheels for your truck.
My truck = my baby
Nice beatdown! It was indeed simple – the hardest part of the explanation was figuring out whose 3-man team I was on. But each element brought all kinds of pain. 3 minutes was the perfect amount of time to keep it interesting. And I’m fascinated by those magic sandbags that somehow got heavier as the morning went on…
Thanks for the Q Dingo.
Always a pleasure to have you lead us.
Enjoyed the workout as well, but I think the weights you posted are more than double what the coupons actually weighed. No way they weighed that much.
I know I’m much stronger now than when I started working out seven months ago, but not that strong.
