The exercise that has NEVER been done before

All All MECA Backblasts

November 3rd, 2015 By Grinder

13 men decided to venture out into the gloom to celebrate the Pather’s victory the best way we know how.  Here’s one man’s version of what happened…

After a short disclaimer (verified and reinforced by @Gump), we were off.  Out the rabbit hole, frogger across the street, and grab some wall for: 10 muscle ups, 10 LBCs, 3 sets.  Mosey to the golf course parking lot and circle up

COP

The Thang

Highlands PAX, meet The Badger:  5 exercises, 10 reps, repeato until the Q says stop.

Sets were broken up with sprints, Bear Crawls, Backwards Run, Crab Walk, and GBS.

Line up at far end of parking lot.  Drop down for 5 merkins then AYG to other side of parking lot.  This is a race!  Finishing order determines partner for the remainder of the workout.

Mosey to Skyline.  Grab your partner for some hill work.

2 more rounds of Muscle ups and LBCs then back to the parking lot for:

Mary

COT & BOM

Moleskin

  1. HUGE TClaps to @Bling for figuring out how to get his watch to show him the time.  You sir, are an inspiration to us all!
  2. It seems like the side crunches were a real crowd pleaser prompting a discussion about it being the first time the exercise has EVER been called.  I find it hard to believe but I’ll still bask in the glory of that for a moment.
  3. I was expecting some rain this morning and was disappointed when I woke up to see none.  #TruthNugget
  4. TClaps the the scooterless AND bootless IronHide for posting through injury and doing what he can.  I still think the one legged SSH is your most stylish modified exercise.
  5. Despite my best efforts to make sure we finished on time (we did), our FNG still departed too early to receive his name…. next time.
  6. #Cobains to the driver of the vehicle parked at the golf course.  Witnessing 13 men do Monkey Humpers in unison is not something you want to see.  Ever.
  7. The Shield is tomorrow night at 8pm.  Come share something you’ve learned in 2015.
  8. Thank you men for following along today.  It’s always a pleasure.

    Great Q @Grinder, I thought it was against the rules not to warm up frist, but somehow we made it. Blistering pace must be your age, Hate-Hate.

    Great to partner with you @Conchito wow the year has flown by just as the lbs have fallen off. Looking forward to your Q next Tuesday.

    Remember go Vote!

    Good work today men!

    That second round of muscle ups proved to be much harder for me than the first. I’m pretty sure they raised that wall by about 5 ft since the last time I was there.

    @Grinder Solid lead today. It has been cool to see your transformation from a humble pax member to a confident Q. You have this thing figured out. T-claps. Oh…the side crunch…yep, that exercise has never in the history of civilization and time ever, ever been done in the Highlands at a workout that I participated in. You can take that to the bank. It hurt and made me feel like a FNG. That must mean it is good.

      Awe shucks… thanks @Nanny. I certainly would not be where I am today without the support from you and many other Highlanders.
