All your favorite exercises

7 pax posted in the still-cool temperatures at Meathead this morning for a leisurely 6am start. After a little chit-chat, we got down to business.

The Thang:

Turkish get-ups – 5 singles per side
10 snatches x 2, then 2:00 recovery for 6 total sets. Alternate sides after every 2 sets
4 x racked carries for :60
Core: elbow plank, hollow body hold, glute bridge x :60 each with :45 rest between

Time – only about 2:00 late

COT: socially-distanced on the knee. Thanks to War Eagle for the takeout.

Announcements:

All SOB workouts are live again, but there will be virtual options available on Tuesdays and on an ad hoc basis for the foreseeable future to allow people with pre-existing conditions or other vulnerabilities the opportunity to continue to work out and get some 2nd F.
YHC will be DR for the next 2 weeks or so, but I will continue to post the workout on Slack and we will have Qs present at each gear workout. If you post and no one is Qing, step up. With a prescribed weinke, it’s not very difficult.

Moleskine:

I think all of the pax agreed that this is the toughest workout of this cycle. All 3 exercises are generally not crowd pleasers. But just like eating your spinach, you know it’s good for you and do it anyway.
After some joking banter on Slack about the virtues of unsullied, original flavor Oreos, Unplugged was kind enough to gift YHC with a family size pack of mint-flavored Oreos. I’m not sure what food scientist thought making cookies taste like toothpaste was a good idea, but my 7 year old 2.2 thanks you, Unplugged.
There was a lot of talk this morning about haircuts. Most pax have taken advantage of a homemade quarantine cut, some have been lucky enough to get into SuperCuts, and others are holding out. Mighty Mite is definitely looking a little woolly and Ickey Shuffle is rocking the ’80s hairband headband look. Wild Turkey has been trimming the sides and back, but hasn’t had the guts to cut the top yet. I’m sure there will be some barbers earning their pay trying to fix all these interesting hairdos over the next few weeks.
Please sound off with any other thoughts on this morning’s activities.
