As another week began on the gritty, mean streets of Ballantyne, four gathered to move heavy iron in various manners.  After informing the PAX that we would be moving around and utilizing many parts of the AO, Frehley’s urgently locked his car and fretted about security in the sordid underbelly of suburban South Charlotte.  We didn’t choose the thug life. The thug life chose us. 

Warmup:

25 kettlebell swings

25 merkins with left hand on bell

25 kettlebell swings

25 merkins with right hand on bell

25 diamond merkins

25 kettlebell swings

Transport bells to the soccer field for the Slot Machine.

The Slot Machine:

Line up on one sideline.  Peform 7 kettlebell thrusters.  Using either a waiter’s carry or suitcase carry on the left side, carry bell to the other sideline and perform 7 kettlebell swings.  Carry bell back across the field on the right side using either watier’s carry or suitcase carry.  Repeat the process for a total of 7 rounds.  Depart the soccer field and drop the bells at the shovelflag, taking care to dodge the armada of incoming vehicles.  What could be the purpose of such a large number of vehicles coverging at such an early hour on the mean streets of Ballantyne?  Gang summit?  Arms deal?  Invasion of hostile forces from South Carolina?  It was just lacrosse practice.  Mosey to the benches.

100’s:

Three exercises, 100 reps each.  Dips, incline merkins, Bulgarian split squats (50 each leg).  There was sweat.  There was grunting.  There was flatulence.  Splendid.  Mosey back to bells.

Combination Lifts:

Sots Press, do what you can, aim for 5 reps per side.  This is a move where you rack the bell, squat, and then press the bell up as many times as you can whilst in the squat position.  It is the worst thing to come out of the Eastern Bloc since the Lada.  Reverse Lunge with Front Press: 5 reps per leg.  Floor Press into Crunch: 10 reps.  Just a few minutes left for Mary, which consisted of Flutter with Press, Dying Cockroach, and Russian Twist.  More flatulence.  That’s a wrap.

NMM: YHC attempted to squeeze 60 minutes worth of exercise into 45 minutes to really get the week going on the right foot.  Looking back, between the Split Squats, Sots Press, and Russian Twists, there was a heavy Soviet influence today and now for some reason YHC has the urge to stand in line for bread and put a dashcam in my car.  Weird.  A Rocky IV viewing is in order to cleanse the soul. #IMustBreakYou.  #GoForIt.  #HesChoppingTheRussianDown.  Annoucements: Southern Discomfort 8/1.  Founders’ Q at Stonehenge this Saturday at 6 am, or sleep in and come to Olympus.  Thank you to Chanel & Voodo for the invitation to FoxVegas.  Hopefully everyone feels like a winner.
