Moleskin: I can’t thank the pax enough for social media support and those who peeled themselves out of the fartsack to help launch Meathead. BD brought the pill because you can’t “pick things up and put them down” without blasting some tunes. Pandora however, always leaves us questioning a few choices. Fletch couldn’t help himself showing up early to log some laps on the track. He wasn’t mine til 0530, so I let it slide. Busch almost overslept and took a tour of the parking lot before making it just in time. There was a lot of sweat and not a lot of 02 pretty early on. The Ladder seemed to be a crowd pleaser, glad we did that first. We ripped through a ton of lifting in the 45 minutes devoted, and everyone seemed to look like they were feeling it (can’t waist time moseying). We had the pleasure of using different size bells if needed. After all, 5 good reps are better than 10 bad ones. BD had fun playing with the 8 pounder HorseHead brought that his son uses, but opted for the real thing once we got started. It was a pleasure to lead and appreciate the support so far. EH fellow pax to come out and learn something new and well worth it.

That was a fun workout. It was good to have the multiple bells to switch with. At Skunkworks, I’ve been trying a heavier bell but I can’t do all of the overhead movements with it without shoulder pain. This morning, I was able to switch around and do most of them. It’ll be hard to keep me away from Devils Turn, but I suspect that I’ll be back some.
Oh, and Bulldog #Wanker put a nice scratch on Boondocks (my 2.0) prize KB tossing it around (isn’t there a British word for people who toss things around). If he finds out, he’s coming for you. He’s a pretty good shot.
