No Books, Bells, Squats or Goldilocks here…..
All All MECA BackblastsJanuary 15th, 2016
Being dissed by the local book club, YHC was voluntold to Q the Valley & to fill in for yet another absent Q #eviltwins #conspiracy. Being the bright, cheerful & helpful member of the Pax that YHC is, compliance was not questioned (ok, maybe a little).
Arriving early to set the flag & make sure the AO hadn’t changed since Wed it was found to be the same, quiet & gloomy. Ah, there’s two PAX, wait, that’s a Mercedes & a Beemer, way to rich for our blood. Yep, just two runners, not F3. The Farm tweets in he’s out. Wondering now if anyone will show up. Well, it’s 530, time to go solo or go home. Hey, there’s Mutant pulling in, whew, don’t have to do this alone!
Warm Up:
Mosey to far parking lot
Snake the parking lot lines for about 50 yards
Circle? up
(20) SSH, (10) Mericans, (20) Plank Jacks, (15) IST’s, (10) Windmills, (12) Cotton Pickers (don’t raise up, stay where the stretch is), Arm Circles Small to Large & reverse
Mosey to Back of School, run down stairs
The Thang: YHC had enough of all the squats & goldilocks (curls) lately so wanted to change it up. Mutant said he wasn’t dong the challenge anyway so we were good to go.
Partner Wheelbarrows up Stairs (2)
Mosey to Left Rear of School, claim a bench
Pyramid: 2 → 10 by twos
Step Ups (# each leg)
Derkins
Jump Ups (land full flat footed for extra credit)
Burpees
Dips
Somewhere in all this we grabbed some wall for a “catch your breath” People’s Chair for 1 min.
*an audible was made around 6am to modify descending reps. Did 2-10 first round then 10-6 2nd round. Modified burpee count on 2nd round to 5, 3, 1. We didn’t finish two full rounds as intended but it gives a goal for next time. #lookedeasyonpaper
Mosey to front of school, grab some curb near covered area.
Round the Clock Mericans: 10 each @ 12/3/6/9/12 o’ clock for 50 total
Mary:
(20) LBC, (15) WWII Sit Ups, (20) Mason Twist, 1st post story about YHC & @SoloCup, (15) Crunchy Frogs in @SoloCup’s honor, (20) LBC, 1 min Plank
C?OT- triumphant stroll back to flag, good job, yeah, yeah, let’s pray, see you tomorrow and all that
Moleskin:
@Mutant- thanks for allowing me to lead. It was an honor working with you. For being someone who just started F3 less than 2 weeks ago you really are killing it & pushing the Pax, thank you! #ISI
Assuming no changes, R2D2 has the Q for The Valley & Man Down has it for Tradition on Monday the 18th. Come support your Pax!
@AustralianBookClub, @Trailmix @ManDown- thanks for allowing me to crash the party late. Good coffee & good convo.
*? can there be a circle up or circle anything with only 2 pax? (don’t answer that @ForgottenJelly or @Buckwheat)
**?x2, if a Merican is a Merican why is a Derkin not a Derican? checked the lexicon & it’s Merkin & Derkin people, thank you!

@HairyBackMafia fo life
Thanks for confirming the Merkin/Derkin thing. It bothers me to see Merican. Read the Lexicon people!
RibShack – Thanks for jumping in to Q today. Glad to have you over at “Book Club” afterwards as well.
I avoid because ‘Merkin’ because of what Wikipedia says it is… #merican #notworkplacesafe
Definitely #notworkplacesafe
How has this not come up before now?
Holy crap! Puts a new spin on the occupation of fur trapper! #whoknew
It is my understanding that patriotic Pax, like @Skipper, call it a #merican to increase their patriotism.
Good job @RibShack & @Mutant – Sorry the book club is taking pax away from your workout. You are more than welcome to jump ship and join us!
That’s a hefty backblast for a 2-pax beatdown! Makes me wish I was there. Okay, not really. Glad you made it out to the book study too. We started late anyway because @Dingo was apologizing to everyone. It makes him feel good.
I live in ‘Merica and I do #mericans. Ahoy! It’s not about the spelling, it’s about the origins. #potato/tomato
Btw, thanks for stepping in to Q @Ribshack and great #BB
Ahoy!
@Skipper, I’m pretty sure that potato and tomato are quite different vegetables! 😉
