Not Your Bell
All All MECA BackblastsOctober 14th, 2016
9 men came out for a so called “Celebrity Q”, they were disappointed. The @Ribshack propaganda machine was working overtime last night. YHC noticed that ribshack brought a little bell with him this morning. “I can fix that” I thought.
2 young men were bragging about posting 15 minutes early so they could make the 6:00 book study. It was unclear, but these dudes appeared to think standing around chatting in the parking lot for 15 minutes = a workout…….
3 cones were set up.
1st cone = Chest Press
2nd cone = Pullover
3rd Cone = KB Swing
Rack and carry bells between each cone.
The catch! You must switch bells with someone after each exercise. You must switch with a different person each time. If someone fails to switch – team penalty of 10 burpees
We started with 1 rep of each exercise and went up to 10
Circle up
20 x Chest press
20 x Pull over
15 x chest press
15 x pullover
10 x chest press
10 x pullover
Strong work out there men. Sorry it wasn’t the most exciting workout, but sometimes you just have to fatigue those muscles.
Trail Mix was very disappointed in the lack of variety. I think he was disappointed in the lack of celebrity.
Urlacher definitely has the most comfortable bell to carry.
King Louie was filling in for Dutch and overachieving with 2 bells.
Shaw shank spent the whole workout looking for the smallest bell
I don’t know what Maximus and Guinness did this morning??
Conchito was refusing to carry anything but a 50b’er! Look out if you got in his way!
Ribshack – always good to get some god 2nd with you bro!

All the other runners that come back keep complaining about soccer arms. I feel like Dingo’s workout today was entirely out of fear of developing those.
Also carrying 2 bells that whole time sucked. Felt like I was holding the Rocky pose half the morning.
Aaah…@ribshack – excellent pre-blast. You are good with the software tools and marketing.
@dingo – fun, different workout! But also @dingo when you attended book study and researched the role of the Q do you recall that the Q is supposed to encourage all others? FYI – at 5:15 @guiness and I did an @dingo warm-up – we ran around the old age home (I didn’t stop in to register!) and the church a few times and still had time to talk to fellow pax before your beatdown. Had an FNG at book study and met Jumanji there.
All in all – a good morning and appreciate laughing at your humor!
Hey! I tried to be like Louie & carry two bells after a while. Doesn’t two small bells = 1 large bell? 🙂
Definitely forcing me to use a larger bell made the workout that much better. Tclaps to you guys who consistently use 45lb & heavier.
@Conchito was fussing the whole time, especially during Mary, that he ONLY had a 35/40?lb bell….apparently he was about to throw it over his head it was so light! #beastmode
It was good chatting with everyone today. Sometimes it’s good to “stand around”.
Apparently we should chip in and go buy Conchitto a 75+lb bell and require he use it from now on 😉
Seems to me, we were going around in triangles this morning. And @Dutch was there even though he wasn’t there – he was there in Spirit. I was attempting to upgrade to a 40 pounder this morning but Conchitto hunted me down and found me at Bonjangles and shouted across the dining, “Guinness, that’s NOT YOUR BELL.” Okay, maybe it didn’t happen like that but Conchitto got his bell back. Sorry @Conchitto. Thanks for the beatdown, @Dingo but you didn’t say a lot at the book study.
