Meat and Potatoes Monday



Meat and Potatoes Monday

7 men gathered in the InVue parking lot this AM to kick off their Monday to sling heavy iron and get in plenty of 0.0.  Turkey week is upon us and some pax are looking to gather their credit now in advance of Thursday.  With the playlist set, courtesy of a suggestion by Mighty Mite, pax put the work in.  It was a meat and potatoes workout and as Midriff would later point out it was a metal on metal kind of day.

The Thang:

10 rounds with alternating exercises

25 swings

10 squats (goblet or sumo)

5 lawnmowers per side or 5 renegade rows per side

We moved on to cook drills across the parking lot, then grabbed an extra 50 swings to kill some time, 10 cleans per side, 5 OH presses per side, and then wrapped up with a minute each of our static hold trio.

Moles-kinny

YHC’s weinke was a simple but effective routine.  TBH, YHC wasn’t feeling overly creative and with the last Q at Meathead still fresh in some pax’s minds it was best to go with the basics and not push the envelope.  Monday is also a time to reflect on (trash-talk) the weekend’s televised sporting events.  So K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid) IMHO.

  • Midriff, a 76ers fan (seriously?), keeps punching that passport.  Great to have him out this AM.  This might have been his first run with kettlebells.
  • Voodoo, the nantaan with no tan, sporting a fresh haircut.  Thanks for coaching Midriff today through his first Swole session.
  • The Worm, putting in solid work on the far end of the parking lot, found his inner release during the trifecta of static holds.
  • Unplugged had to be resuscitated after The Worm’s previously mentioned release and is being tested now for the ‘rona (among other things).  Unplugged is currently challenging Voodoo for most bells brought to a single workout in the back of a sedan.
  • Frehley’s comet was digging the playlist and shared some stories and 80’s metal anecdotes from his more adventurous youth.  Said stories will be kept off this backblast to protect the innocent.
  • Might Mite requested one song for the playlist today that was not 80’s metal (said song was released in 2013) but it inspired a playlist of epic 80’s metal proportions.  See if you can figure it out below.

Announcements:

  • Check SLACK for convergences on Turkey day and the Friday after
  • YHC has the Q at Fast Twitch on 11/24

YHC had the take-out.
