No Pox, No Mas
All All MECA BackblastsFebruary 23rd, 2017
Dadgum Pox got sick! I was so looking forward to the return of Pox to the Q, but I was also honored to step in to try to fill his shoes. I’m not sure if Pox created No Mas, but I am pretty sure he introduced it to Rolling Stone. It’s amazing how the utterance of those two little words, “no mas”, causes all the Pax to become giddy or something. Was there a disclaimer? Not sure, but I do know the shovel flag was planted, so we’re off.

THE THANG
Mosey to the Keith Richard Sports Arena for that special WIB we love. No Mas is a sneaky one that has you thinking it’s going to be an easy one until you’re about 5 minutes into it. I mean, COME ON, you’re resting half time! How hard can it be? Here we go: Partner up. Partners take turns doing each exercise across the width of the BB court working up the ladder until both partners complete all 9, then start working back down the ladder. The exercise pattern looks like this: 1 – 2,1 – 3,2,1 – 4,3,2,1 – 5,4,3,2,1 – 6,5,4,3,2,1 – 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 – 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 – 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 – (then work back down) 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 – 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 – you get the idea
Exercises are follows:
1 Run
2 Laterals (keep butt low to fight CBW)
3 Backwards Run
4 Karaoke
5 Frogger (jump squats)
6 Slalom (two foot 45 degree top)
7 Bear Crawl
8 Burpee Broad Jump
9 Power Skip

PRAYER: Whatley just informed me that Dipstick from Myrtle Beach just passed away, leaving behind his wife and two young children. We don’t have details, but know that it was some type of head injury.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Red Friday beat down at Highland tomorrow. March will be at Davis Lake
- Saturday will be some 2nd F and community service building tree houses. Sugar, please comment with details.
- Whatley will be sure to remind us rucking options
- Sparknut is sure to remind us that you can get in an extra run Saturday morning. Hit up YHC if you’re feeling froggy.
MOLESKIN
- It’s always an honor to lead you men. It is extremely satisfying to see everyone progressing! That’s why we’re out here – to push and be pushed so that we can be physically stronger and healthier, but mostly to make each other better men through the 3 F’s. Iron sharpens iron.
- So the virtual trophy goes to Sugar and Jimmy Buffett who finished “No Mas” first. Well done gentlemen!
- @Whatley – glad there were no calf complications this time
- @Fillmore, First Date, Heatstroke – great progress men! You guys are looking strong.
- The news about Dipstick is a sober reminder that life is very precious and very fragile. Any one of us could loose our physical ability to do what we do in a moment, or even worse, loose our life or the life of a loved one. Let’s remember to focus our time and attention on the things that really matter, not allowing the trival distractions of life dominate us.
Phiipians 4:8 ESV 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
…hope you got your money’s worth!

Felt good this am. Thanks for partnering Schnitzel!
Learned some old man tricks.
@whatley, you must have been watching Sparky.
For those not well versed in Spanish, “no mas” means “pass the oxygen”. It’s much easier when scribbled on a pizza box.
Although not a huge fan of the WIB style beatdowns, this is a favorite – I mean you get to rest!! For real, this is a tough one. I remember 1 time specifically that we didn’t finish and had to call time. Not today – we owned it!
Impressive showing Miracle Grow! And I know you couldn’t have gotten that much rest time.

Just as we hold each other accountable for the 1st F it’s our duty to do the same for the 3rd. Thanks for the verse Sparknut.
I understand why Sugar’s seemed harder. We all had to run extra over to the Pizza box to remember the order. Sparknut had multiple copies! Lol
And you’re welcome!
Prayers for dipsticks family
Great to be out with you guys this morning. Thanks for the partner and conversation sparky!
Slept in. No mas definitely will deliver.
Hopefully see you at the BB tomorrow.
No mas = no bueno for me. Thanks for stepping in Spark Nut, it was a challenge for sure. Great to partner with you Waterboy the conversation helped me get through. We almost caught JB and Sugar, maybe next time. Have a nice weekend everyone!
Thanks for the big assist Sparknut. Love the BB title. Still under the weather here. Can’t wait to be back in the gloom. PVCs will appear soon.

Prayers for the family
Well done Sparknut! 2 Qs in a row, appreciate that. That was brutal today…in a good way. @First Date great partnering with you, maybe we will finish next time. Get well soon Pox. @Sparknut very true words about the loss of Dipstick. So sad. Death is the enemy, but always ends up providing a proper perspective. RIP Dipstick. Prayers to his family.
