8 pax met up at Meathead on the day before Thanksgiving at the leisurely time of 0600. #holidayhours The plan for the day was to take turns leading portions of the workout while we got our 250 swings in. 5 rounds of 20 swings, 1 exercise, 20 swings, 1 exercise, 10 swings, 1 exercise.
Warm-up: 15 SSHs, 10 windmills
Main Thang (here’s what I remember of the other exercises):
Voodoo: 10 goblet squats, 5 clean + press per side, 15 merkins
Unplugged: RDLs, lunges,
Mighty Mite: 1 TGU on the left, 1 TGU on the right, 5 snatches per side
Frehley’s Comet: 10 merkins on your bell (5 per side), 10 squat/curl/press
Soul Glo: high pulls
That covered our swings for the day. Uncle Leo led us through a couple of rounds of racked carries, then Das Boot (site FNG!) called overhead carries and LBCs with the bell, and Sweetwater (site FNG!) called farmer carries. We wrapped up with 1:00 each of elbow planks, hollow body holds, and glute bridges.
Thanks to Frehley’s Comet for taking us out.
Announcements:
- Turkey Jam Convergence tomorrow at 6:30 at Rea Farms. Paper Jam on Q.

- Per the Governor’s recent Executive Order, please make sure you’re maintaining social distancing or wearing masks where that’s not possible. The sooner the current increase in COVID cases subsides, the sooner we can get back to normal behavior.

Moleskine:
- Thanks to the pax for coming out and helping lead today’s workout. The Q by committee was Frehley’s Comet’s idea and was a good way of giving everyone a chance to handle a portion of the workout.
- Das Boot and Sweetwater came to punch their passports as part of the Passport Challenge and got thrown right into the fire by being asked to lead a portion of the workout. They were unfazed and stepped right up to lead.
- The music tonight was Spotify’s Rock Classics playlist. Soul Glo thought it was a little more mellow than my usual tunes. Sometimes you have to mix it up.
- I hope all of the pax have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Please sound off in the comments with any additional mumblechatter.
