Awkwardly Standing Around – and Sweating

Awkwardly Standing Around – and Sweating

10 meatheads gathered in the slightly warm gloom, ready for a “light” beatdown.  Here’s how that worked out for them.

Naked Moleskine:

Great group today, and everyone was digging in.  This workout was a modified version of a #sadclown workout YHC made up a few weeks ago, attempting to “de-load”.  #fail  The workout was not a de-load, and the suck-factor was high enough that YHC had to bring it to Meathead.  YHC couldn’t recall the work/rest ratio used then, so 2 minute cycles were chosen for today.  That lead to about 60 seconds of standing around sweating between sets.  90 second cycles may have been better, but the smoke-age would have been higher.  More tweaking to come before this is repeated…

Also debuted today was a non-rock playlist.  It was quickly abandoned for the usual 80’s rock.  Too bad The Bangles are not on my playlist…

Thanks for coming out today.  Let’s do this again next Thursday!  (and let me know if you’re interested in Qing)

Aye.
