Triple Nickle x 2 + 4×4 is still 0.0

PAX  HighTide, Bloomber, Voodoo, Bulldog, Fletch

What we lacked in numbers, we more than made up for in grit.  5 Strong decided to leave the safety of their warm bed and swing some iron in the slightly above freezing gloom.  We started at an 11 and and took it to about a 15 REAL QUICK.  Here’s what went down in the ELE Parking lot following a thorough Disclaimer.

Warmup: SSHx20IC – 30 Two Handed Swings OYO – merkinsx20 IC – 20 Overhead Presses OYO – IWx20 IC – 10 Goblet Squat OYO

Triple Nickle Meathead style 5x5x5 (5 reps 5 exercise 5 rounds)

5 swing Rt Arm 5 high pull Rt Arm 5 clean Rt Arm 5 snatch Rt Arm 5 press Rg Arm – Switch and DO the Left Arm 25 merkins between rounds –

Complete 5 Rounds of the above

Next round of the Triple Nickle would be completed w/two hands on the Bell as follows

5 two Handed Swings, 5 goblet Squats, 5 Good Mornings, 5 Upwright rows, 5 Thrusters (25 LBC’s between each round)

Complete 5 Rounds of the above

Partners up w/like size bells or a giant single bell for doubles 4x4x4

P1 Completes 4 Dub Swings, 4 Dub Cleans, 4 Dub Rack Squats, 4 Dub

Overhead Presses. FLapjack – Each partner does the above 4 times through.

Partner Swing/Merkin Combo starting at 20 each and reducing by 2 – made

it to 16 before we ran out of time.

Moleskin:  It has been a while since I’ve q’d Meathead given that running has taken up many of my mornings over the past year or so.  It was great to get out and push it with a pretty tough workout this morning.  Doubles were a nice throwback as well.  Bulldog, Hightide and Voodoo all veterans of Meathead were crushing it as usual with HT and VD taking in a few miles PreRUN – solid gents.  We did have a relative newbie this morning in Bloomer who made it through a tough one.  Hope he keeps coming out! 

Only had to suffer through a handful of commercials with the Pandora radio, but they seemed to come right as we were transitioning to a different set of exercises.  I had a blast this morning  – hope you guys did as well. 

Announcements – F3 Paintball announcement will be coming soon.  Bulldog

is looking at suitable dates (likely to include 2.0s 10+).

Please keep Destiny, HuggieBear and Cooter in our Prayers.

That was a strong Q yesterday, Fletch. I’m definitely feeling it in my legs and shoulders today. Thanks for leading!

I didn’t realize the 25 merkins between sets were part of the called exercises in round 1. I thought you and Bulldog were just trying to show off. I needed the recovery time, so it probably wouldn’t have mattered.

I think this was Bloomer’s second post. His first was about 2 years ago. #extremekotters He’s committed to coming back out and I’m excited to see the progress he makes.
