Continuing the Upper Body Burn- “Because we love ’em”
All All MECA BackblastsJanuary 28th, 2016
At Rolling Stone we post 20+ if it’s below 20 degrees, so I guess it was too hot this morning at 32 degrees. Haha. It looked like it would only be the 3 of us in the clown car at first, but 2 more arrived to help “carry the proverbial torch”. So 5 brave Pax posted this morning. Brief disclaimer and off we go for my version of upper body destruction and it went kind of like this.

Thanks for the privilege of leading this morning. You guys push me to do more than I think I can. I would have considered the warmarama a good workout if I were alone, and probably finished there. Each of your fellowship, encouragement, and participation is a great blessing to me. Thank you. Everyone worked really hard this morning. For the record, that was: 70 burpees (because we love’em), ax. 210 merkins, and 135 CDD each, among other fun activities. Great work men!
Hula and Sparknut are hosting a time of worship and fellowship on Super Bowl Sunday (Keep Pounding) from 5pm til… We will enjoy worshipping together and watching the Panther victory at Hula’s house! We’ll begin with a worship service and then enjoy potluck Football style. All are invited – please RSVP. Please see evite link below.

Sorry to bail this morning guys, needed some rest. Although by the looks of whatever this was – I may be a bit glad I missed it.
(enter silent protest over not following un-written rule of starting with SHH)
I got Q at MCP Saturday, anyone want to join??
Well done @sparknut – that was a good one!
You were missed. I stand corrected on the SSH and will try to do better in the future!
Hating to miss, but following the fever has been breath-taking back spasms! I’d rather bear crawl around school than have these. Will be out there as soon as I can, in meanwhile, stay young, like Marie!
Get better bro. Looking forward to seeing you back in the gloom!

That was brutal on the shoulders. Been a long time since the thought went through my mind that I might not be able to do all the repetitions but that sure happened today. By the third go-round on the wall, merkins were absolutely horrible. Nice job by all and on SparkNut’s Q!
@Marie Calendar – that warms my heart under my sore pecks. Im glad to know I offered you a challenge this morning.
How maddening can it be when you miss out on two weeks of workouts because of somebody’s else’s business trips and back spasms!!!!!!!!!!! #panthergrowl. I’m never gonna get my driver’s license!!!!! Ah, well, no use crying over spilt milk, (especially for a panther like me lol.) See you all (hopefully, if Schnitzel can stay healthy) next Tuesday!!!!
SUPER BOWL PANTHERS!!!!!!!!!!
@Bagheera – we need your address and phone# to get a clowncar to you. Somebody WILL pick you up.
We’ve got to have the only BB where a PAX complains about not having a driver’s license!
Sorry I missed fellas. Long week at the office and m had a 6:30 am call. However that is no excuse for the fartsack. Sugar might have to take you up on Saturday
