Kettle Bells, I Love Burpees and No Running…….
All All MECA BackblastsOctober 10th, 2016
13 Pax got together this crisp morning to declare their love for Burpees & getting stronger than the fartsack!!
Warmup- a Guinness mosey to allow rest of Pax to roll in. Took a right turn & back up the street back to AO…….doing something different, even though simple, always gets the mumblechatter going. Overhead Claps, Plank Jacks on Elbows, Makhtar N’Diaye’s.
BTW, hearing Bacon complain & call BS before we even get started is quite motivational.
The Thang: Circuit of (10) Kettlebell Exercises with (5) Burpees between each
Circuit A- done
Circuit B- YHC had mercy on the Pax & changed to (3) Burpees (also in the interest of time). Didn’t complete this round…….most got about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way done. We’ll have to try that another day.
Mary: Captain Thor’s (much easier with 20lb-25lb rocks than with 35lb-50lb KB’S per @KingLouie), LBC’s with KB raised, Low Dolly’s
Count Off– #12 + Shawshank who disappeared at some point, YHC must’ve had blinders on because this totally slipped by me
Namearama– welcome to FNG no more, Guy “Chief” Jackson!! Although, pronouncing your ever undying love for the Broncos before you tell us your name isn’t the best way to ingratiate yourself to the Pax. 🙂 Good call by @Buckwheat to name him after the Bronco’s hated division rival KC.
BOM– taken out by Mad Hatter who will be moving to TX soon. It’s been good to know you bud, good luck to you & yours, safe travels!
Moleskin:
@Pax- good work by all. I’m honored to have 13 Pax show up on a KB day. Thanks for letting me lead.
@Guitar Hero- welcome out to your 2nd post!! If nothing else you got @GhettoD to come out! 🙂
@Cardiac- quote of the day when he saw a particularly disturbing exercise coming up…….”Really??” BTW, I think you are the 1st PAX ever to wear a Polo shirt to a beatdown…….(maybe)
@Pongo- you were the quietest I’ve ever seen you my friend……maybe we should’ve run some?
If you are tying to do F3 on your own………STOP IT……….reach out to another Pax member, make them feel welcome (yes, more than the 3 second fist bump at the beginning), get their cell number, text them & give them grief when they don’t post, stay in touch. Before you know it they will be doing the same & all the CSAUP stuff we do becomes a tad bit easier when we are doing it truly “together”. I have 3 guys @Tradition (you know who you are) that never fail to reach out during the week. Sometimes it’s utter BS but it’s that camaraderie that keeps me posting. It’s amazing,…..”Do unto others…….” actually does work & comes back around every time.

@Buckwheat- thanks for partnering up!
@Chief- I was feeling really down that an FNG came in that quick & kicked our butts……until @Buckweat pointed out that you missed the 1st 20 minutes!! 🙂 #freshlegs
@Dutch wins the effort of the day walking all the way from home to the AO with his 50lb kettle bell!!
@Frostbit- good to see you out….come out to a bootcamp sometime, it’ll be fun! #famouslastwords
I saw @Dutch walking as I did my U Turn and had to do a double take. That’s a Hell of a carry!
Not a great beat down to go to being super sleepy! That was rough. Good partnering @Mad Hatter. Sad to see you go so soon after you joined us! Safe trip to you and the M.
Wishing I was one of the lucky few who got today off as a holiday…. F3, go home, protein shake, shower, back to the fartsack!
Also I did Low Flutter for half of Low Dolly before realizing I was being dumb. Whoops.
well……..I forgot the burpees on the 1st set until @Buckwheat reigned me in…..so doubling up on a Mary exercise isn’t do bad after all! 🙂
What exercise frightened Cardiac so?
Not sure, I just overheard him….. 🙂
Aye Mateys, ALL non-cardiac exercises frighten me. Me but bones and sinew.
Aye @Rib Shack, it’s always good partnering w/ you. Thanks for dragging me through this one! Definitely a tough one that was not good for someone who is tired and their stomach is torn up from eating chili Last night. I feel like trail mix at the BRR this morning!
LOL on @Cardiac donning the polo shirt this morning.
Welcome FNG Chief. Sorry bout the nickname. I couldn’t resist after the first thing you pointed out about yourself is that you’re a Denver Broncos fan. I moved here from Denver back in 2011 and understand how they hate the Chiefs, Chargers, and Raiders.
Great advice above. We all can do a better job of reaching out to people and getting them to post. #ISI
Definitely sorry to see you go so soon @Mad Hatter. I know Dallas is a big city, but I believe they have an F3 AO or two there. Safe travels and best wishes to you and your family.
Oh yeah @Rib Shack- Glad I turned you on w/ my pre-beatdown mumble chatter. Those burpees shut me up quick!
Good beatdown @Ribshack and thanks for dragging me out today. I’m glad I did. Excuses roll off the tongue with the lack of sleep that is so apparent with the 2.0…
@KingLouie- good partnering with you sir!
Thanks everyone for all the kind words. I am planning on getting plugged in with the F3 group in Dallas if it’s not too far from where we’re living. Or possibly starting a new AO for the area I will be living in.
It’s been great getting to know you guys if only for a short time. Y’all have pushed me further than I thought I could go and am a better man for it!
I’ll try to post to a couple more beatdowns before we move to Dallas next week.
@RibShack … sorry to have disappeared without a word, but had to report to work early (just as Mary started) … This will be my “new” normal. Great workout, as usual! @Mad Hatter … May God bless your move and new work! It has been a joy to get to know you a bit.
@Shawshank sounds like you’re working with R2D2 now instead!
Frostbite, thanks for pushing me through!!
Yes, I thought the polo shirt may have been dorky. After walking out to 51 degrees in shorts, I thought I should layer and it was the only thing hanging out. Remember, I was born only 3 degrees above the equator. So chest warmth beats out fashion statement. Plus, I thought my F3 brothers would like the bright red. Maybe I should wear it again for RED Fridays. Nah…
