Respect the Ridge(s)
All All MECA BackblastsMarch 22nd, 2016
Under the light of a full moon, 15 mighty men of Harrisburg conquered the frost-laden ridges at Hickory Ridge HS. Temperature seemed to be dropping when YHC arrived this morning to the Ridge. Much respect @ScheduleC @Kojak and @Gamma for waking much earlier for their #rucksack workout. Gamma stayed around for the bootcamp pain. YHC borrowed (or stole) from @Duece and @ScheduleC’s past workouts. Here is how it went:
Warmup
Mosey around the Ridge to middle parking lot
#Disclaimer
SSH x20
Imperial Stormtrooper x15
Cotton Picker x15
Windmill x15
5 Burpees OYO
Short mosey to the Ridge
The Thang
Pax divide into pairs/triples. Face the Ridge. Perform exercise reps at base of Ridge. Run to top of Ridge for 12 to 1 ladder of Merkins. After set of Merkins, run to bottom of the other side of Ridge for new exercise. Once one pair finishes their Merkins set the next group goes.
Jump Squats
WW II Situps
Lunges
Crunchy Frog (Thanks @BigBird for suggestion to go to teams of 4 and 3. That is how we finished the rotations)
Smurf Jacks
Mason Twist
Plank Jacks
Low Dolly
Carolina Dry Dock
Freddie Mercuries

Air Squats
Form 2 lines – Indian Run to Driving Range Ridge
Stay in teams of 4 and 3 for combined team exercises:
100 combined Diamond merkins while partners bear crawl uphill for 15 jump squats
200 combined LBC while partners bear crawl uphill for 15 jump squats
Form 2 lines – Prisoner style Indian Run to the end of football field driveway then Jailbreak to the flag

COT – Prayers for people of Brussels and Belgium after the horrific bombings there today. Also praying for a speedy recovery for HoneyComb’s ankle.
Moleskin:
- Strong work by all today. Pax had a great push and much respect for the ridges. YHC learned that if you don’t respect the Ridge, you can easily slip and end up on your six – happened once!
- Much respect to @HoneyComb for #noquit even after turning his ankle. Hope to see you out in the gloom again soon brother.
- Remember that the Harrisburg 5K is on April 9

It was an honor to lead Pax – thank you for your hard work today!
Nice lead @Helga, enjoyed the pain today. Tclaps to @Gamma for completing the whole workout with a ruck. When we started I thought “Glad I’m not doing this exercise with a ruck.” Later I thought “hmm, here’s another I’m glad I don’t have a ruck.” By the end I thought “nevermind, who would want to do any of these with a ruck?!?!”
Agreed @BBQ! Good shout-out for @Gamma this morning. He was in #beastmode this morning! Much respect @Gamma.
Nice Q, @Helga. My legs are hurting!
Thanks @Dick Tracy. My legs are still feeling it as well.
