Date: 2024-11-27 AO: meathead Q: voodoo PAX: flipper, Unplugged, voodoo FNGs: None COUNT: 3 3 pax posted for the last pre-Thanksgiving edition of Meathead this morning. It was a cool, crisp morning and squats were on the menu.
WARMUP: standard fare, like a nice garden salad – SSH x 20 IC – 5 swings e/s – IW x 15 IC – 5 high pulls e/s – Sharon Towers x 10 IC (Flipper tried to skip 8, but we wouldn’t let him) – 5 snatches e/s – Prying squats
THE THANG: Workout 2 of Week 5 of the Total Tension KB Program. This is like the turkey and cranberry and stuffing portion of the workout. This is what you’re really there for.
Clean/press/squat/renegade row – all with doubles Start with 1 rep of each exercise, then increase the squats by 1 each round until you hit 8, then come back down by 1 each round until you’re back to doing 1 rep of each exercise
Udder sent the Q a link to a KB complex yesterday so we decided to give it a shot. This was like when your aunt shows up with something weird like kale and the polite thing to do is to eat it and smile
– 4 lawnmowers e/s – 12 swings – 10 goblet squats – 4 snatches e/s – 4 seesaw lunges e/s (lunge forward then back = 1 rep) – 6 deck squats – we aborted these and did more goblets – 4 2-handed push press
Static holds. This is the side item that you really enjoy, like a nice white mountain roll or some green beans or mashed potatoes.
:20 double overhead/:20 double rack/:20 farmer with shrugs. 1:00 rest then repeato
MARY: I guess that makes this dessert, but it’s not a very satisfying one. Maybe a fruit salad or something?
Hollow body hold until time ran out.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Get signed up for the Area 51 Christmas Party at Geraldo’s house on 12/8. More details can be found on Slack – look for posts from MARTA.
COT: No Anvil today, so it was just the 3 of us. YHC took us out with prayers for The Worm’s continued healing and for safe travels and for everyone to enjoy some quality family time over the coming days.
