Burpees, Tires & Blood
All All MECA BackblastsApril 13th, 2017
- Its been a while since I’ve Q’ed at Tradition, marathon training kinda takes over your life and doesn’t leave room for much else at 5:30am. Marathon behind me, its time to start working on these newly formed #soccerarms
I pulled in at 5:27 and was surprised to see only 2 cars in the parking lot. Looks like its just going to be Pongo, Ribshack and I. I bet I can talk these guys into going to Bojangles instead………Before I could hatch my plan, cars rolled in and there were 12 of us.
Warm up mosey around the Church
20 x SSH

6 men get 6 tires, 6 men plank. Tires are stacked 2 high = 3 stations

No time for mary today!
The confused counting moleskin;
- Great to be at Tradition this morning!
- Strong work by all, even with the close proximity to each other on those inclines…..
- I haven’t said the words “BBC” in a few months, and it was good to get that out quickly. I did read a Maximus comment recently that said “Dutch, Ithink that’s the frst time you didn’t mention BBC in a workout”…..this caused me to chuckle……and maybe spill some coffee…..
- Great to have Pongo back in the gloom after an injury related hiatus! Keep plugging away bro!
- Some visitors this morning in Sharknado from Rock Hill and Ribshack from Mint Hill. Though I’m torn about calling Ribshack a visitor……He will always be part of Tradition!
- A good morning to be alive! Glad I could spend it with you all.

Brutal Beatdown, @Dingo. I didn’t expect anything less. My arms were already hurting. Now, they will be hurting for another week. Great muscle strengthening beatdown! My guess is everyone will feel it for a few days which is the real test of a great beatdown. Thanks!
Aah yes… It was great to have the legendary @dingo back to Q at his home AO! Not to disappoint @dingo had stacked tires for close proximity inclines and declines merkins, ladders, complex, multiplication patterns (increments by 1, 2 or 3’s) (keeps the brain sharp) and 45 minutes of continuous beatdown. A memorable morning!
