COT

MOLESKINE

  • That’s the way it’s spelled, by the way–with the ending E.  Without the E all you have is the epidermis of a small, rodent-like mammal.
  • We traveled no more than 100 yards total but got after it pretty good nonetheless.  That’s the 0.05 way.
  • Always a treat to observe the pax reactions to the environment.  Stone Cold emerged as a clown-shoed ninja, Busch went with the menacing hoodie and Ribeye, Site FNG (Fresh Meathead?) decides vibrams are a good idea.
  • Meathead offers what few other workouts can, or do: double and heavy bell work.  Everyone swinging at least double 35’s, lots of 2x 40-45’s and even Busch working in a number of sets at 2x 60’s. Strong fixes about everything and Meathead will make you strong.
  • Beta run on the new implement, the prowler.  Didn’t work it in much today but you’ll be seeing it soon at a workout near you.  It’s nasty.

Nice Q, TR. It was fun to go heavy/doubles and also try out the new toy (prowler). Satisfying burn today.

Unrelated, my takeaway – my #cantore pants are great for “sportin’ the sag” but not so much for swinging bells (KBs, that is). I strained against my pants’ restrictions as much as I did the KB’s. If only I’d worn man-tights with overshorts…Next time.

This backblast suggests a high degree of pre-planning could have been involved. And should meathead backblasts even be posted on the web? Maybe you should scrawl them – with primitive markings – in a cave at an undisclosed location.

Be careful you guys at Meathead don’t evolve too much. Keep hunching those backs, growing that facial hair, and dragging those knuckles!

I look forward to coming out soon and showing off my 30lb bell sometime soon…

Excellent Morning for First Post to Meathead, a weather temperature of what? 1degree. Awesome & Solid Q TR, pushing the PAX well past their physical & mental comfort zones right off the bat. Introducing the new hairburner implement(as if hairburners did not suck already), then to jump in head first into Double Swings, Brutal. Freaking Great! Did not realize how much more fun Snatches are with double the KB pleasure.
Big League Chew amazes me more I see how freaking strong of a beast he is. Solid.

Excellent 2F all around this morning too.

Thanks for not stripping down to a wife beater tshirt with sweat stains. Were you sporting a WV, in additon to the big bad ass KBs?
