Dirty Dozen at Meathead

Dirty Dozen at Meathead

Another big day for gear at Meathead on Wednesday with a strong 12 posting. It seems like the weekday gear workouts are really taking off. After a weak disclaimer (be glad I said it at all since I usually forget!), we got started with a similarly weak warm up of SSHs and IWs. Then it was time for the main event, which was focused on 250 swings.

• 15 swings, 5 cleans per side, 5 lawnmowers per side
• 35 swings, 10 goblet squats

Repeato for 5 rounds. On the 3rd round, we did 50 swings straight, then the cleans, lawnmowers, and goblet squats to mix it up. 250 swings, 50 cleans, 50 presses, and 50 goblet squats.

Next was :30 of suitcase carries per side, four times through. We wrapped up with some elbow plank until time ran out.

5 pax (YHC, Hoover, High Tide, War Eagle, and Taco Stand) struggled through a 3 mile 2nd F post-run.

Announcements:

• All of the gear workouts are open to volunteer Qs. We’ll provide the outline of a weinke, you provide the tunes and leadership. Please reach out Mighty Mite or YHC if you’re interested. If no one raises their hand, we’ll just tell you you’re Qing.
• We’re always looking for new program ideas, so if you’ve got anything you’d like to try, please reach out.
• Meathead will be going back to 0530 workouts in the near future to accommodate those pax who need to get kids to school. We’ll make an announcement when the time comes, update the schedule, and put something on Slack.

Moleskine:

• It’s been great having strong numbers at Swole and now Meathead. The more, the merrier. Thanks for coming out and thanks for allowing me to lead.
• If you’re at all curious about KB work, this is a good time to come out as we’re focused primarily on the core KB exercise, the swing. There’s a little variety with the accessory exercises, but we’re keeping it pretty simple.
• T-claps to Mighty Mite and High Tide, who are both swinging 32s out there. I guess I need to step up my game…
• Please sound off in the comments below if you have any thoughts/comments/feedback, etc.
