Pull-Up-Alooza 2.0
All All MECA BackblastsJanuary 10th, 2017
With the temps higher than expected (a balmy 25 degrees) and virtually no wind, 15 men kicked back the warm clutches of the fartsack to start their day off right. YHC and @Shazam expected to see @Gump roll up in the gloom, but alas. His Twitter game is strong, but #sadclown syndrome overcame him this morning. Shovel flag was planted, FNG welcomed, disclaimer given and the PAX started a little mosey 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, LBC when finished
PAX moseyed back to…
MARY:
- Pretzel Crunch x 20
- Low Flutter x 20
- The Squirm x 20
- Box Cutter x 15
- The W x 15
- Low Dolly x 15
COT and BOM!
THE FROZEN MOLESKIN:
- Great work today men! It didn’t take long to warm up and great effort all around. There were some slips, but YHC saw no wipe outs to and from the playground.
- Welcome @NoLove! It has been great getting to know you and thankful God is raising up young champions in the faith. And remember the second meaning of your name.
- The Shield is tonight at @Hammer’s home. Check the email for the details.
- Highlands is preparing a winter clothing order. Sound off in the comments if you are interested in some F3 Highlands gear.
- It appeared an ice ball fight involving @ColMustard and @Grinder was part of the morning festivities. There may have been others involved, but YHC was too busy trying to keep up with a bearded @Hammer. Are there superpowers in your beard? Glad to have a strong partner this morning.
- After a flurry of tweets, @Shazam was saddened his partner for this workout last time was surprisingly absent. It would have been great to hear @Gump again tell @Shazam on the exchange – “just add 5 to whatever you had” during the round of Carolina Dry Docks.
- It did not go unnoticed @Brinkley and @Google denied themselves the ease of driving to the AO as they decided to add a pre and post run.
Always an honor to lead the PAX!

I am definitely interested in Highlands gear.
Since my words probably didn’t make as much sense as my brain during announcements, @f3_250 is the You vs. You 2017 Goal program (not contest) that I referenced. Any 30 minute workout works and check the Twitter page for rules. I know some of y’all average six per week.
Thanks for your leadership, Alcatraz. In addition, the official naming of No Love was outstanding. “I’m not afraid to do time…” – CLASSIC.
Enjoy your day, men.
Thanks for reminding us about @f3_250 as my brain wasn’t working as I composed the BB!
I’m still chuckling about COT today. I’m sure you also mentioned to @NoLove that no one questions a preacher in a graveyard!
I vote that the Highlands shirts should start to feature the flag on the right sleeve. All the cool AOs are doing it!
AYE! Great leadership again @Alcatraz. As echoed above, nice naming of that young FNG you EH’ed. You EH’ed your daughters boyfriend, Epic! If he was 17, you would have to care for him like a Daddy at the workout.
@Shazam – nice partnering with you brother. I didn’t get the reference to the add 5 but I understand now. I thought it was something from GoRuck #421 as I have blocked some of that from memory.
@Grinder – why you got to put snow down my shirt? Thanks for helping @Hammer out with the parts, maybe he will not break this one.
Great beatdown today @Alcatraz. Thanks for partnering up @ColMustard. When you aren’t harkening back to your school days with an impromptu snowball fight, you can knock out some reps with the best of them.
Good to see a solid turnout in #wintry conditions, but hate I missed what appears to have been an epic COT.
wait, wuut there was a workout today? I thought it was canceled b/c of the cold!
