Tree Fall

Tree Fall

If a tree falls in the woods, and no one hears it, does it make a noise? Meatheads aren’t traditionally known for their philosophical prowess, but the 12 who posted this fine morning have been considering the question ever since. Because, as we all know too well, if a backblast doesn’t post, one begins to wonder if the workout actually happened. Of course, post the backblast too late and no one actually reads it, which I think means the workout didn’t happen … twice.

On this fine misty morning interspersed with torrential downpours and harmonized with the best of Pandora’s Def Leppard radio, 12 terrific gents performed as follows:

• warmup (get the blood and joints moving):  SSH, IW, Mtn Climbers
• Swing Set: 10 swings, 1 press, 15 swings, 2 presses, 25 swings, 3 presses, 50 swings, 4 presses
• 5×5: double-racked squats
• Swing Set repeato
• 5×5 (each leg): goblet side lunges (KB in goblet position)
• Swing set repeato
• 5×5: Farmer’s Carry 50 yards while partner holds plank
• Swing Set repeato
• 5 double-racked squats, 5 goblet side lunges, 5 double-racked squats, 5 side lunges, 5 single-legged good mornings (each side)
• Swing Set repeato

Moleskine:

• Excellent time as always with the men of meathead. Except for the counting part (which always tends to dim the chatter) had a good group of like minded indiviuals, encouraging form and grinding through the load.
• Simple workout –> simple result #getstronger
• Tested the limits of my waterproof speaker. It did fine, but phone was still drying out while I recorded the names in COT so add in if I missed you #QFail. You don’t get credit unless you are listed below…

Announcements:

• We had some, but they’re probably expired by now.
