“Curls are for the girls”

“Curls are for the girls”

Brown always teaches us clever new phrases on how our muscle groups can impact other parts of our lives, but mostly how they intice women. He’s like a walking dictionary of wisdom, Meathead style. It was my first Q on kettlebells and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though I let the paper instructions do most of the talking…Led Zeppelin, Otis Redding and The Stones kept our motivation level high…

12 dudes took on the task…

Warmup 

SSH, alternating hand touch squats, 20 2-handed swings OYO, 5 second merkins (5 merkins, 5 sec plank hold, 5 merkins, 5x), 10 snatches each arm OYO

The main event –

I set up 4 stations which everyone did 4x with written instructions and we split up into 4 groups, conveniently with 3 men each.

Station 4 was our timer and we rotated to the next station once they returned.

Station 1

20 Shoulder Presses

25 2-handed curls

15 lawn mowers (each arm)

Burn out – 2 handed swings (until station 4 returns)

Station 2

20 Russian Twists

20 Chest Presses

20 LBCs with bell

Burn out – alternating Cleans (until Station 4 retuns)

Station 3

15 Goblet squat & press (reduced to 10 after realizing this was too much)

10 snatches each arm

15 tricep extensions

Burn out – Dead Lifts (until Station 4 returns)

Station 4 – Timer – 4 rounds

Round 1 – Waiter Carry to school ——>

Suitcase Carry Back  <——-

Round 2 – Rack carry to school —->

Goblet carry back <—–

Round 3 – Goblet Shuffle to school —->

Your choice back <——

Round 4 – 50 2-handed swings

30 merkins

We just finished 4 rounds for each group.

I humbly asked High Tide for a few confirmations on certain exercise names before the workout in effort not to get heckled…I’m not as well versed as the Meathead regulars but I made it through okay.

Each group had 3 men which I thought worked out well. Our group got into a pretty deep hot yoga discussion so you know we were getting a little woozy. I won’t tell if you won’t tell Blazing Saddles. I think Brown got a little uncomfortable.

McFly’s name, one that I approved during a recent Q, was apparently changed by Bulldog to Deadliest Catch. Why? Because it’s so much easier to say. Try saying Orange Whip 3x fast…not easy. I feel your pain. Two syllabled F3 guys have it so easy. The four syllable guys never make it. Bulldog is no stranger to name changes, but that’s a story for another time…

All the groups pretty much stayed together but Freedom was a good 20 yards ahead of his team during all of the carries. Respect.

Go listen to Witch Doctor’s podcast on F3 Podcasts (yes that exists). He’s got loads of wisdom on health and nutrition.

Thanks to Brown and HighTide for asking me to lead. I’ll do it any time and next time I’ll add a few more leg exercises….I learned my lesson.

Thank you Freedom for taking us out and asking for His blessing on our lives today. Look up men and stay focused on Him.
