Moleskine (need help here, YHC was too busy with the iPad Tabata app and weinke):
There was quite a bit of mumble chatter, so I am sure there are some good comments to be made.

Great job SC!! Professor Tabata would laugh at how smoked his idea could make a meathead. You did something right even before it started bringing record numbers to Meathead since the launch. Well played. The Nutcracker/ballet move with a KB was a little odd, but meatheads are dumb enough to try anything. Looking at the definition of a meathead you posted, Although not yet enormously muscular, I decided that would represent me well on my tombstone for those who come after I’m gone! Might have just found a new Twitter profile as well!
Good one, SC! For your moleskine, just know that there was lots of grumbling and mumblechatter for each exercise called, before we dutifully did it anyway (with only a few refuseniks)! Not sure whether that makes us dumb, meathead followers or you a good leader, but we left tired and swole! Even busted out the sleeves on Brown’s shirt!
Aye!
Proposed Meathead By Laws:
1. No running. Strong > fast.
2. No sleeves. Wipe your nose on your arm.
3. No merkins. Already do a thousand a week. Would have substituted Press and Squat there, or perhaps Squat and Press.
4. No exclamation marks in backblasts, unless you’re this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rsM6vrTEvg. Exclamation marks are like Uggs–best left for women.
5. No inflatable KBs (Chum Rule)
6. No new exercises. Don’t confuse us.
7. No tennis skirts. Man up, Serena.
8. No lbs. Poods or kgs, comrade.
9. No sandbagging with a build-a-bell. Time to upgrade, Lalanne.
10. No TGUs on asphalt, mulch or hard-packed mud with grass comb over.
Solid beatdown, SC. Well planned and exexuted. Much pain delivered, oxygen sorely needed.
Proposed additional Meathead bylaw: any exercise with a chance to be facing your fellow Pax needs to be synchronized to awkward eye contact.
oh
and Busch, Bulldog and Brown need to be separated. Some very unwholesome mumble chatter from that corner. Funny, but wrong.
