Kettlebells. I’ve been neglecting them, mostly in favor of other things that are not Kettlebells. I knew I had a Meathead Q coming so I thought I should get out there one day and swing a little, but never got around to it. Then Voodoo says I’m on for tomorrow. Yikes.

So 8 guys posted. Several runners. Several regulars. Good to see Young Love again. and over there is Mr. Brady. Wait. What? Apparently Chin and Baracus suckered him into a 3 mile run followed by KB’s. I don’t think he liked it and I think he is going to be very sore.

Anyhow, some extended SSH and IW while I think of something to do. Then some swings and prying squats. Then my bluetooth speaker wasn’t connecting. So I got the group started. 5 one armed swings right, 5 left, 5 high pulls right, 5 left, 5 snatches right, 5 left. 10 merkins. AMRAP that for 10 minutes. (I spent 3 to 4 getting the blue tooth going, they were angry without music. )

After that partner up for some double KB deadlifts while partner planks. Total to 100.

Another 10 minute AMRAP with curls, OH Press, Tri’s and merkins.

100 KB deadlifts per team.

5 Minute AMRAP with some core excercises

100 KB deadlifts per team.

Done.

Moleskin.

Quiet group this morning working hard. I gave fair warning that my kids helped with the play list and I still couldn’t get Rachel Platten Fight Song off the list somehow. So if it popped up in rotation, just go with it and try not to sing along like you do in the car. Voodoo played it cool, Rachel who? Fight what? We know he knows. It’s probably his ring tone.

Soul Glow and Voodoo get the heavy bell awards for the day. Going to feel those deadlifts. Young Love was there to console Purell. He finally got his partner Rachel back from IR but likely still not cleared for KB’s. Chin Music got called out for his spider man suit spandex pants. They were very blue. Just happy to see him with the shorts over top.

And thanks to my partner Baracus who while being like an inch taller than me initiated the short jokes right off the bat on Twitter this morning. Can’t we just gang up on Voodoo and tell UVA and cheer leading jokes?

Thanks to Young Love for the takeout.

Sorry Alf… it’s rare that I can call I. The short jokes, so had to jump on an opportunity. To be truthful… I’m not even sure we aren’t the same height. Perception is reality. Great workout this morning! Thanks for leading.

Voodoo

Thanks for the Q, Alf. For someone who hasn’t touched his bells in months (#TWSS), you don’t seem to have lost a step. However, you might want to put more than 5 songs on your playlist for next time. As a father of boys, I’ll have to look up that fight song you were talking about.

Strong work out there by the pax. T-claps to Purell for wearing shorts. I also wore shorts, but would have been wearing pants if I hadn’t gotten suckered into the pre-run by Baracus. Great to have Mr. Brady out. See you again in 2021!

I think it’s fair to periodically make fun of Alf’s height or Runstopper’s height (or his tights) and to lay off the UVA/cheerleading jokes. Especially during basketball season, where UVA dominates VT (and the ACC, at least until the NCAA tournament starts) and the cheerleaders are working multiple games a week while carrying a full course load and drinking like they’re in college. #scholarathletes
