The Matthew 13
All All MECA BackblastsOctober 8th, 2016
13 Men made the deliberate decision to accept the gift CSAUP the SkyQ had presented to them. One by one (and some two by two, an appropriate reference from the Noah days…) stepped out of their warm and dry vehicles to have a little fun. Hammer, being an experienced Q during deadly storms, graciously offered via the Tweeter last night to Q today’s opportunity with the disclaimer of having to leave early to aerate his lawn (the 1 thing crazier than actually working out in a storm is doing yard work, BTW). Soooo, YHC agreed to wrap it up. It went a little like this:
The Thang:
Mosey to the lot (you know that one lot. No, not that one, the other one.)
Warm up:
- SSH
- Cotton Pickers
- Windmills
- Merkins
Mosey to the Little Baby Hill:
7 to 1 ladder, Carolina DDs at the top, LBCs at the bottom
Indian run, double formation to the fence for some upper body pain:
- Mid rail Inclines
- Mid rail declines
- Top rail inclines
- Top rail declines
- Bottom rail inclines
- Bottom rail declines
Resume Indian Run to rock pile
(DISCLAIMER! Apparently when it runs, like humans, insects tend to seek out higher ground. In some cases the insects, lets say Fire Ants, may utilize rocks to keep from drowning. If these ‘Rock Lifeboats’ are selected by un-suspecting PAX to be used for an excessive amount of arm curls, say 250, it is possible that the insects my not particularly enjoy that. Ask Hammer)
- Curls
- O/H press
- Skull Crushers
- A bunch of other stuff with ant free rocks (some bigger than others – #justsaying)
Mosey to the Shelter (not to stay dry, we were already wet)
This is the point in which it maybe, possibly, from certain perspectives gets a bit complicated – YHC takes the reigns.
In over our heads pyramid (yeah, didn’t realize the total number of what we’d be doing – I would have called BS actually)
Up the pyramid:
- Pull-ups x 5
- Dips x 10
- Incline Merkins x 15
Complete rounds of each working up to 10,15, 20 reps
Down the pyramid:
- Squats x 20
- Step ups x 15
- Lunges x 5
Complete rounds of each working down to 5, 10, 15 reps
Mosey back to parking lot for Mary with a bit of snake along the hill
- LBCs x 15
- BBCs x 15
- Pretzel Crunch x 15
- Pretzel stick x 15
- Homer to Marge with Rosalita and Low Dolly mixed in
- Squirm x 25? – Thanks Glock
Moleskin
Thank you to all that posted and followed the lead of and Hammer and YHC. I’ve noticed @Dredd references #3S2T a lot lately. 3S2T is what all F3 workouts should yield and I couldn’t agree more. For those who may not know 3S – Strength, Stamina and Speed. 2T – Toughness (physical), Toughness (mental). We definitely got a full dose of that today. Thanks for playing along!
Also keep in mind that while we were doing what we do, others have not been as fortunate during this storm. Please keep those effected in your prayers.

Thanks for posting the BB Sugar. well written. A very special thanks for the Tweeter call to arms. I needed that.
@Major would have been proud of those 250 curls and especially those one armed curls. Too bad he’s a runner with soccer arms now.
@pax, sorry to leave early and miss the rest, looks like a solid finish.
Ironically, Matthew 13 is full of some awesome Jesus Parables. A worthy read for me this morning. I must be doing something right….aerating and preparing the soils (parable of the four soils). “The good soil represents the hearts of those who truly accept God’s message and produce a huge harvest….” My prayer is that I physically prepare the soils, but focus more on the spiritual prepping of the soils. I share that same prayer for you men.
The first F is like aerating. Aye!
