DATE: 2023-02-07 AO: Skunk-Works Q: lois PAX: stonecold, Mountain Momma, baracus, funky_cold, Smokey FNGs: None COUNT: 6 Lazy disclaimer. Lots of “Yada-yada” I clueing the parts about modifying and keeping safe. These are all vets, no wasting time.
WARMUP:
“Medium” lap in the parking lot, then the crowd favorites: SSH, IW, merkins, Mountain climbers.
THE THANG: Today, we do the forbidden workout: TABATA. Which, I was sorely disappointed to find that the tabata timer app updated and the lady’s voice actually pronounces it correctly. Bah.
Okay, so, 20 seconds on / 10 seconds rest … Set 1 – swings and squats Set 2 – cleans and overhead presses Set 3 – Lawnmower R / Lawnmower L Set 4 – RDL L / RDL R Set 5 – High pulls and lunges Set 6 – all thrusters all the time Take a medium lap after each set Stummitch
And because I give the whitest of white-glove treatments, a curated play list of the finest 70s and 80s classic rock: Boston, “Rock & Roll Band” Rush, “Tom Sawyer” Billy Squier, “Everybody Wants You” Blue Oyster Cult, “Burnin’ For You” Styx, “Too Much Time on My Hands” Sammy Hagar, “I Can’t Drive 🚫55” Night Ranger, “(You Can Still) Rock in America” Eddie Money, “Two Tickets to Paradise” Van Halen, “Dance the Night Away” 38 Special, “Caught Up in You”
RANDOM THOUGHT: In his magnum opus about not being able to drive 55, Mr. Hagar talks about taking 15 hours just to get to LA. A friend and I, before watching a Van Halen tribute band, calculated out that his likely starting point was Denver.
You’re welcome.
