Now That’s What I Call The 1990s

A slight drizzle as I pulled in to the lot, but that quickly subsided and a warm, breezy January morning took its place. The #Meatrunners cruised in, the music crisis was averted (or was it?), and we were off.

 

Warmup:

SSH x 20 IC

IW x 20 IC

20 swings, pass bell to right

10 merkins

repeat 3x

15 goblet squats, pass bell to left

10 merkins

repeat 3x

 

The Thang:

Timer was set: 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off

Exercises:

Clean R

Clean L

Lunge R

Lunge L

Press R

Press L

Goblet Squat

Lawnmower R

Lawnmower L

Romanian Deadlift R

Romanian Deadlift L

Swings

Upright Row

Tricep Extensions

Pullovers

Repeat everything once more.

A few minutes left, so we hit a 6 inches to plank circle for a few rounds (or at least half of a popular Backstreet Boys song)

Done.

 

Moleskin:

The music crisis was all the craze before the workout even began, leading me to believe this was going to be an eventful morning. Many theories as to how we would get music playing loud enough were thrown out and eventually we settled on using Witch Doctor’s full-sized car trash can. Shockingly, it didn’t work as well as we’d hoped, but Vodoo stepped in with his handy speaker to save the day. The only other option was High Tide’s jeep, but with all of that Alabama gear on it, we knew it would most likely give up with :06 seconds left on the clock.

With the music bumping to an Amazon Prime 90’s mix, we had some solid tunes (and no commercials). Vanilla Ice took us back to a simpler time when Brown was only benching 275. Blink 182 and Weezer had us thinking about Jncos and MTV. It wasn’t until Celine Dion attempted an appearance that things got weird (side note, don’t ever go to Jack in the Box with Runstopper.) Rage Against the Machine was up next with the explicit version of some rager that included several “4th F’s.” The big finish, however, was reserved for the original Meatheads themselves, The Backstreet Boys. All in all, a solid representation of the 90’s.

Great work out there by everyone. Not the most exciting workout, but the #mumblechatter more than made up for it. Great to see McFly back out after his debut at Skunkworks on Tuesday.

As always, an honor to lead.

Ouch, re :06. New slogan – Going for #17 in 2017.

Nice work bringing back a tabata workout – it’s been awhile.
Also, hopefully folks got a chance to swing a heavier bell in the opening segment and realized they could likely move up a notch.

I used to always bring my speaker “just in case” but never once used it, so I stopped bringing in. Like jumper cables, just takes up space, until you need it.

McFly – we’ll see you here next week; don’t let the week one soreness discourage you.

Even through all the good (and bad) humor, that was a solid workout. Great Q Sanka. I like the “tabata” timer, forces you to try for extra reps before the red screen. Watching the back and forth across the circle, I think there might be a sitcom in the making, “Brown and Bulldog”. Sort of modern-day odd couple, witty and physical comedy, yet appealing across the pond. I smell Emmy!!
