So, I’ve been meaning to get out of my rut and actually post at a Thursday workout. Perfect excuse came this morning by way of text on Tuesday. Not sure if Brown knew exactly what he was doing when he pegged me to join in the Thursday fun, but couldn’t let him down.

Cool temps, sleeveless shirts, music and meatrunners back on location. Time to begin:

The THANG:

Warmup: mountain climbers, imperial walkers, prying squats, figure eights and some halos

The Main Event:

• Set #1: Pyramid :
  • Reps: 2/4/6/8/6/4/2
  • Exercises: 1-H Swing, hi-pull, clean, snatch, squat
  • Repeat with other hand
• Set #2: Farmer Carry/Burp-n-Merk partner combo x2
  • Partner 1 carries 2 heavy bells from here to there and back; Partner 2 performs Burp-n-Merk 1-10
  • Flapjack and Repeato
• Set #3: 5×5 Doubles
  • Double squat
  • Double swing
• Set #4: Cool-down with 3×10 start-stop swings

Moleskine:

• I’m pretty sure I posted at Meathead before, but it’s been awhile. Realized it felt a little like surfing among the locals on some new beach. The internet has advice for this sort of situation (http://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/7558-ten-rules-for-surfing-waves-in-non-local-surf-spots), but I’m pretty sure there is no way this is legit cause surfers don’t read the internet. Meatheads probably don’t either, so I guess we’re back to square one. The only way to be a Meathead is to post at Meathead (well, that’ll get you started, anyway…)
• I’m also pretty sure I violated a couple Meathead rules today by (1) including the farmer’s carry (certainly not 0.0) and burp-n-merk (no KB involved), and (2) ignoring TR when he tried to heckle my mountain climbers.
• Speaking of TR, found out today he has a couple problems with certain songs, maybe even 99 of them. Hey, it could have been worse – I could have made the call for curls to that song.
• Not sure how we got on our sushi conversation this morning, however, I politely declined when my co-workers wanted to go get it for lunch. Not surprisingly, I had no appetite for that.
• Props to everyone who made it out this morning. Folks were lifting heavy, pushing hard and grunting … a lot
• Looking forward to my next time back. Thanks for the invitation to Q, Brown.
• Brushback – hope you feel better soon.

Announcements:

• Turkey Leg will be moving from his garage back into his house next Wednesday. More free beer for those who help. No word yet on if he’s providing slippers and furniture pads to keep those new floors shiny.
