500ish=1000

Well, sadly a tweet about 1000 reps scared most of you from posting this morning. However, 12 bros couldn’t wait to find out. After further research, the 1000 rep challenge was for arms only, so I modified it …a little. See below:

Merkins x 15

NMM – No Mary at Meathead

 

moleskin:

 

Another great group this morning. The usual suspects, because they fear nothing, and some new faces, because they knew nothing. The plan was never really to pack 1000 reps in 45 minutes. Not sure that can be done, and more than likely, that woulda included a lot of wasted reps. Not what we’re looking for with kettlebells. Not a lot of mumble chatter today, which is usually the case at Meathead. One, meatheads come to workout, and two, hard to hide lifting in a circle for 45 minutes. That’s really the beauty of this site and why we are stronger. So, if you’re reading this as a “non-BRO”, now is your time.  Think you’re too inexperienced, everybody is at first and we have the pax to help. Think you’re too old, ask the co-site Q (46), other regulars who range from 46-52. Think you’re just a runner and this wouldn’t help, ask Turkey Leg, Fletch, TR, and Soul Glo if it’s helped them? Bottom line is, “Strength Matters”…post at Meathead.

Good stuff, Brown. It was tough, but I really felt it when I got home. The first couple hours were sluggish.

Echoing your comments above – when TL announced GhostRunner, there were a few chuckles that maybe we were the wrong audience. However, both TL and Fletch (and others) prove you can be a runner and a meathead! Cross-training is smart and being stronger is never a bad thing.

Just post. Veteran pax are always willing to help you learn, and you will get stronger.

Aye.
