A Mostly Dry Pull-Up-Alooza
All Highlands BackblastsMarch 1st, 2018
With rain in the forecast and Sign Up Genius empty last night, YHC took the slot and decided on something that could keep the PAX somewhat out of the weather. With a total of 5 veteran Highlanders present, a practically non-existent disclaimer was given and a mosey began 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 under the portico 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, Brinkley Bends when finished
- 2 Pull-Ups, 100 Lunges (not single leg), Mason Twist (rucker’s choice) when finished
- 1 Pull-Up, 50 Burpees, Mason Twist when finished
- @Brinkley called YHC “evil” at this point
A follow the leader mosey ensued up the steps and down the ramp at the never traversed elementary school loading dock. We were greeted with the putrid smell of the dumpster. The mosey continued behind the trees and bushes against the school towards the covered entrance for…
MARY:
All exercises were 15 count.
- Freddy Mercury
- Pretzel Crunch
- Low Dolly
- LBC
- Box Cutter
- Squirm
- Airborn Mindbender (if you didn’t post you can’t call it weak)
- Low Flutter
- Greatest American Hero with vocals
COT and BOM!
THE MOSTLY DRY MOLESKIN:
- The PAX was small but lively in the damp gloom. We burned way more calories than all those who stayed in the #fartsack!
- T-claps to @Barrister for rucking it out today with 40lbs extra weight. However, we learned he would need to add another 60lbs to match what YHC lugs around.
- @Gump named his team “Just Add 5” and “Close Enough” much to @Disaster’s dismay over extra reps. @Shazam feels your pain @Disaster.
- RED Friday at Comanche tomorrow. They meet at Cox Mill Elementary with an 0530 start.
- Convergence at Tradition (Stone Bridge Church on Prosperity Church Rd) this Saturday. 0700 start time. There will not be a workout at MCP this Saturday.
- Most of us at Highlands have seen the gray car dropping someone off shortly after 6 most mornings. We asked the gentlemen if there was anything we could remember in prayer as he walked by during COT. He asked us to pray for his wife, Willette, who is struggling with lupus. Let’s remember to ask how she is doing as we see him in the future.
- Sign Up Genius is empty. Should it remain empty over the weekend watch for your name to appear as March might be the month of being Alca-told!
Always an honor to lead the PAX!

Well done @Alcatraz. Thanks for stepping up to lead us today and for keeping us out of the rain. I was not thrilled with your decision to save the burpees for the last set but otherwise you did a great job.
Great idea! The next time I will switch the order and start with 1 Pull-Up and 50 Burpees and end with 5 Pull-Ups and 250 Merkins. Looking forward to “Pull-Up-Alooza #DisasterMode”!
Happy to accommodate the suggestions of the PAX! Finishing with higher reps should be fun.
Great beat down. Truly enjoyed it. My arms are feeling it right now
thanks for stepping up brother… #justadd5
