“I’m still sick.”
All All MECA BackblastsFebruary 15th, 2016
Title at @TheFarm’s request. Not sure if this was because I whined about being sick / recovering, or because @Dingo and @Coyote weren’t there due to “I’m sick,” as well.
7 men showed up to swing around cold metal balls, since Charlotte decided not to receive any “ice pellets” today. I led us in the following:

Tried to throw in a bunch of single arm stuff to help build some more strength that way. Also complained about being sick and my KB numerous times.
Many men were mumblechattering about their increased vigor and energy since it was the day after Valentine’s Day. Made me glad then that the response to my first circuit was “None of that sounds good.”
Prayer request for whoever was in that really bad wreck I saw on 485 this morning, my interview with Wells Fargo on Wednesday, and the North Carolinians who actually got the “terrifying” snow.

I know we started few minutes late due to me being a little late, along with others… but it’s fun to look at my list exercises and realized I removed 1 repeato, 1 exercise, and a whole set of exercises.
I’ll figure out time one day. Also… I noticed in the tags for workouts that there is one called “Toilet Bowl”…..hm.
Sound off below!
Solid beatdown King Louie. I’m wondering how sick Dingo really is…I think he was just afraid of your beatdown and the “ice.”
Still haven’t heard from Coyote. I think he might’ve been anticipating the intimidation he would feel when seeing me use my 35lb KB. #26%
Great job on your first KB Q @King Louie! As for removing or adding things from/to your weinke, the pax have no clue what you have planned so no need to point out planning deficiencies. It’s always better to have more planned than what you need! Way to tough it out after a week off due to illness. You still finished the first round like two minutes before the rest of us. How was that nice, long plank? That’s a good sign that you’re ready to move up weights, right @The Farm?
@Dutch: Did you really attend a women’s bootcamp and disclose to the pax that it was “tough?” Maybe posting at an F3 Bootcamp every once in a while will help w/ that.?.?
There were no signs or symptoms of @Dingo being sick yesterday. Now, all of a sudden, he has a severe sore throat and enough snot to fill kettle bells.?.?
Oh I mainly wanted to point out that the workout was intended to be even harder! Though I’d say my planning of too much is probably also because my Virgin Q was an hour long Saturday one. I’ll just be rolling over some old plans to the next. And carrying the worst from this one over as well, of course.
As for that long plank… I guess it really is true that “the first will be last.”
Aye. That first group sucked for sure and those offset merkin rows were rough. Had to modify the second set and do rows separate as my form was horrible.
Looking forward to your next one!
Good beat down King Louie. Especially impressed with fact that you didn’t waiver in your Focus, especially when I guys talked about their valentines days experiences.
As far as the burn Boot Camp goes I’d never mentioned it was anything about women… They do have a coed one on Saturdays you know!
I’m just going to get some good ideas for my next Q… That’s my story I’m sticking to it
LOL!!!
Dang!! A dude takes one day off and this is the response!! Lol! I was sickly yesterday, Man Down can attest to that, but I was hoping it would be done with today. Unfortunately not. Posting with a sore throat in freezing temps did not sound like a good idea. I did enjoy the warmth of my FartSack!
I think we are about to lose @Dutch to his woman’s Bootcamp…….
