PULL-UP-ALOOSA (it’s like a party with Pull-ups)
All All MECA BackblastsJuly 19th, 2016
23 of Highlands finest kicked back the clutches of the #fartsack to break a sweat with their brothers in the 90% humidity. YHC was accused of watching running technique videos on Youtube for BRR prep. Confession time – those accusations are 100% accurate. So with this new found knowledge that one can only assume skinny running people have possessed for centuries, it seemed only appropriate to share what little insight YHC gained with the masses. So with the disclaimer complete, the PAX was led in two drills that focused on a mid-strike foot placement. Then the mosey began to…
WARMARAMA:
- SSH x 19
- IST x 17
- Mountain Climber x 15
- Cotton Picker x 13
- Merkin x 11
Mosey to the sidewalk closest to HCES and partner up.
THE THANG:
One partner runs to the playground for Pull-ups while the other is working on the prescribed exercise count and switching until the total is completed.
- 5 Pull-ups, 250 Merkins, LBC when finished
- 4 Pull-ups, 200 Squats, Reverse Crunch when finished
- 3 Pull-ups, 150 Carolina Dry Docks, LBC when finished
- 2 Pull-ups, 100 Lunges (not single leg), Reverse Crunch when finished
- 1 Pull-up, 50 Burpees
Time was called during the Burpee round and the PAX moseyed to…
MARY:
- Pretzel Crunch x 15
- Box Cutter x 15
- The W x 15
- Low Dolly x 15
- LBC x 15
COT and BOM!
THE MID-STRIKE MOLESKIN:
- It didn’t take much to break a sweat this morning. Great work by the PAX today!
- Did I hear the @Pavarotti jumped the playground bench? If so, the madhops legend grows.
- @Gump unapologetically embraces his heel-strike running form. Hence the platform running shoes. For the love of your knees man, change your ways! We can do this together as members of HSA (Heel Strikers Anonymous). YHC is here for you when you are ready to admit you have a problem and we can mid-strike this road together. Oh, I’m sure we will fall flat on our heels from time to time, but our past does not have to define our future!
- Remember our country in prayer and the various issues we face as Americans.
Always an honor to lead the PAX!

Gosh, I IEP’ed that workout and I’m still sore! Thanks for noticing the fine kicks, they are da bomb for us heal strikers!
I think my favorite part was when I returned from pull-ups and asked the current count… Gump’s reply? “Add 5 to whatever we had”. Hilarious as always, thanks for partnering Gump.
Great work Alcatraz, simple but insanely effective.
“Add 5” – that’s classic!
Great lead as always @Alcatraz! That one’s gonna leave a mark.
Great lead, Alcatraz! I can always count on a solid workout from you…..with something to jump over.
