Feel the burn



Feel the burn

10 pax posted at Calvary at 0530 this morning for another edition of Meathead. Everyone knew that the main course would be 250 swings, but the real question was what other exercises would we struggle through?

  • SSH x 20 IC
  • Windmills/Sharon Towers x 10 IC
  • Forward arm circles (small to big) x 5 IC
  • Backward arm circles (small to big) x 5 IC

Main Course:

  • 20 2-handed swings
  • 8 lawnmower rows per side
  • Rest for the balance of 2:00
  • 20 2-handed swings
  • 8 goblet squats
  • Rest for the balance of 2:00
  • 10 2-handed swings
  • 15 merkins
  • 5 cleans per side
  • Rest for the balance of 2:30

Repeato for 5 total rounds. That’s 250 swings, 80 rows (40 per side), 40 goblets, 75 merkins, and 80 cleans (40 per side).

Dessert:

  • Waiter carries (:30 out, :30 rest, :30 back, :30 rest)

  • 1:00 of hollow body hold, :30 rest
  • 1:00 of glute bridge, done.

Announcements:

  • The blood drive is upon us. This Friday at the Brace (formerly Siskey) Family YMCA. There are still 5 slots available, so get signed up and donate blood for a good cause. Contact Mighty Mite for more details.
  • Some pax are gathering at Char Bar 7 at the intersection of Weddington and McKee roads on 10/23 if you’d like to join. Reach out to Hoover to HC.
  • Please consider donating to the Give 2 Give campaign. The Area 51 link is here and the SOB link is here. The first $500 of donations to the Area 51 site will be matched.

Moleskine:

  • After taking a tour of AOs the past 2 weeks, it’s good to get back out to Meathead. My hands were a little tender in a few spots after Monday’s Swole, so clearly I needed to get back to swinging some iron.
  • This was a pretty meat and potatoes workout this morning. The goblets were challenging and it was tough to get the heart rate back under control before the last round of swings.
  • T-claps to Turkey Leg for pre-running the workout. Please advertise in the future and maybe I’ll join you.
  • Please sound off with any other comments, observations, etc.

Nice of that older dude in the adjacent parking lot to share his music with the Swole & Anvil pax.
