Roller Coaster Of Pain

All All MECA Backblasts

March 9th, 2016 By Drop Thrill

You may be thinking this backblast is somehow related to Hurler at Carowinds, but no, we went beyond that sort of pain to the pain that builds instead of destroys.  Here’s how it went…

15- SSH
1- Burpee OYO
15- Imperial Walkers
2- Burpees OYO
10- Merkins
3- Burpees OYO
15- Low Slow Squats
4- Burpees OYO
15- Wind Mills
5- Burpees OYO

Then we moseyed over to the playground for 20 minutes(ish) of Cindy

5- Pullups
10- Merkins
20- Squats

Repeato until time is called.

Next partner up for cumulative sets

150 – Squats
100- Star Jumps

(Partner 1 on called exercise, Partner 2 runs).  Flapjack until you finish called number.

We started running out of time so I had to nix two more exercises for that round.

After a bit of stretching and Mary, we were out of time.

Good work out there gents.  Good to have Horsehead up from Matthews/Union County/South Charlotte, wherever the heck he posts most is your guess.

Kiawah Island Half/Full Marathon is coming up.  See Chum for more info.  Discount for F3, $55 entrance fee.

Thanks for allowing me to lead.  If you have nowhere to be Friday morning, come out to Sun Valley Middle as I lead the gear workout for Union County.  Have a great weekend.

    Shout out anything I missed.

    Good Q DT! I guess we can call that payback for my metal Q last week.

    Strange morning, including:

    – dwarf pullups
    – shoe full of mulch
    – unexpected bro-ga
    – random teacher parking 1″ beside my driver side door

    I’ll call it a success though, because I got my giant smurf kettlebell. Thanks guys.

      I think they’re called “little people” pull-ups Horsehead. We wouldn’t want to offend the altitudaly challenged.

      BTW – That Papa Smurf bell is awesome! Wouldn’t want to drop in on my toe. You gotta be a man to swing that cowbell.

      You’d be amazed at how much trouble we’ve had in that parking lot. It’s like am episode of the Twilight Zone!! Not sure what’s up with their parking problems.

    spots are numbered – perhaps the teachers have a certain number they have to park in

    anywhere else to park?

      There is the Bus Lot. Busses don’t come in that early

    Seeing “Cindy” listed in the backblast, along with a blue KB mention, warms my soul.
    Good stuff, DT.

      I always knew you had a cold heart HT.

      And Cindy goes back to my first post and you were Q, so yeah Cindy keeps rearing her ugly head from time to time.

      1. Tough Skins March 9, 2016 at 1:29 pm

        I was afraid to ask, but what does Cindy mean?

        1. Drop Thrill March 9, 2016 at 1:32 pm

          Cindy is Mary’s evil sister.

          No actually I think those female names came from the crossfit world and F3 just kept them because they already knew them.

          Cindy is just a set of 3 exercises over and over for a set timeframe.

          Not sure if the name itself means anything besides that.

          1. High Tide March 9, 2016 at 8:03 pm

            Cindy is a specific CrossFit workout. I always liked it and need to do more pull-ups, so I brought it to Ascent. Plus, if you tack on a mile run before and after, and do 20 rounds, you’ve just completed The Murph (less the 20# weight vest, of course).
