50 more snatches? Sure, why wouldn’t we?

9 pax overcame their fears of TGUs and other unsavories and posted for whatever YHC’s #weinke contained. Despite their bravery, just like your veggies, YHC isn’t going to force anyone to eat a diet of TGUs. (You gotta man up and do those, and eat your veggies, on your own.) Nonetheless, by the end of it all, some were wishing for TGUs or, #gasp, running instead. Here’s what prompted such reactions:

The Thang:

COP:

  • 1-handed swings (are there any other types?) – 20 OYO
  • Prying squats
    • (inserted Disclaimer here)
    • (deputized pax as Form Police – let’s keep it slow and exercise good form out there today)
  • Halos

Mosey to the Playground

  • Pullups – 5
  • Presses – 5/side
  • Goblet squats – 5
  • Repeat 10 times through

(TGUs were waiting for the early finishers – surprisingly, everyone focused on good form and no one finished early…)

Mosey back to the blacktop

  • Snatches – 50 OYO
    • Suitcase carry – to the school sidewalk & back
  • 1-handed swings – 50 OYO
    • Waiter carry – to the school sidewalk & back
  • Snatches – 50 OYO  (yes, again.  let’s go)
    • Racked carry – to the far tree & back
  • 1-hand swings – 50 OYO
    • Suitcase carry – to the school sidewalk & back

(perfect timing)

Finish with:

  • Slow good mornings – 20 OYO
  • Slow hand-release merkins – 20 OYO
  • Cleans – 20 OYO (10/side)

Done

COT

Announcements – none

Moleskine:

Good group today.  Everyone showed up ready to get after it, but for a moment, they wondered what they’d be getting after, as YHC rolled in with 30 seconds to spare and discussions were underway for a substiQ.  #cobains.  Got ready too early, then got distracted and lost track of time.

No repeat of the near mutiny from last week, perhaps because it was TGU-free.  Only grumble was more of disbelief as the call was made for 50 more snatches.  #bellsizematters #promove

2 site FNGs today – Ice 9 and Orange Whip. One declared he definitely won’t return. One seemed just crazy enough that he might.

Near the end, Voodoo declared he wished he’d gone running. (at this point, we knew he was delusional, and…we kept going)  He may have swung his new, big bell way more than this workout should’ve allowed.  Or, maybe he just likes running…

Horsehead modified, as needed, between belches of Moosetracks (hoof prints?) that’d make Spackler blush.

Witch Doctor, quietly pounded it out all morning, declaring “I’m good” while stretching it out.

Blazing Saddles has become a wily KB veteran with frequent Meathead and Skunkworks posts.  Ditto Destiny.

Turkey Leg was knocking it out, per usual, despite his Ultra P200 performance over the weekend.  Strong!

 

That’s all I got.  Working is calling…

Aye.

Great lead, HT. I was a little worried I’d lose my KB and crush your bluetooth speaker during the second set of snatches, but I managed to keep it together until the end. I did manage ~80 snatches with the 24 before stepping down to the 20 to finish out the second set. The combo of snatches/swings and carries was tough on the grip.

Thanks for calling for the presses as well. Those are tough, but a necessary evil.

We missed Brown out there this morning. And TR. And Bananas. And Busch. And Bulldog. And Fletch. Where was everybody?
