7 Men decided to get Stronger and posted at Meathead this am in the gloom.
Disclaimer given – short one – no FNGs or Site FNGs
Explanation provided of work to be done – and provided demonstrations on some of the equipment / exercises. Pax had no questions so we were good to go.
COP
SSH x 15 in cadence
Low Slow Squat x 15 in cadence
Pry squat to work on loosening up hips and legs
Arm circles in cadence x 10 forward and 10 backward.
The Thang
The focus of the day was on quality not quantity and the recommendation was made to the pax to try a heavier bell then they normally would on the exercise. The focus was on doing fewer reps but using good form and moving heavy weigh.
The stations were as follows:
Station 7 acted as timer – so once Pax on the tire was finished with their turn, all pax switched stations rotating to the right.
We were able to get in 3 rounds and YHC hopes it was a good bit of work for everyone.
Finisher with a few rounds of marry
10 x flutter with KB press – in cadence
10 x dollies whiling holding KB above chest
5 bulldogs on your own ( tap KB on ground above your head then sit up and press above your head = 1 rep)
16 dying cockroaches
Finished

Voodoo has been asking YHC to Q Meathead for a while but the schedule just hasn’t worked out so was glad when he called and asked if I would Q July 5th. Also, hoped that the idea of the early morning on the 5th would help YHC slow it down a bit on the 4th and get to bed early – success of this was maybe 30%.
YHC decided to bring some toys for the home pain-cave to share with the group – the clubs and tire sled were nice additions along with the sandbags. YHC thinks everyone had a great workout today – and there were no slouches – everyone was pushing it and everyone also got the hang of the steel clubs. They will be back some time. YHC doesn’t think he saw a KB lighter than a 24KG used – solid work for pushing it today guys.
Thanks Voodoo for the chance to lead and thanks men for allowing YHC to lead and try something new this am and being good sports about it. YHC thought it was a great workout – hope everyone thought it was up to Meathead standards.
Thanks again for the honor to lead.
Champagne out.
