Swinging Moleskine:

Well, as always, Meathead is as hard or as easy as you choose to make it, depending on your KB size selection.  The planned volume was high (400+ swings) but the reps were low, so YHC went heavy most of the time and it was felt for several hours, as was the plan.

YHC was on a 1200+ mile college visit road trip with 2.0 Low Tide last week when some Elvis tunes cycled through the playlist.  Hmm…  So, that was the playlist for today, and a solid lower body beatdown will leave your legs all wobbly like The King’s…  so, there you go.

Welcome, Cake, from Roanoke.  Glad you came down today.  Please visit again.  And, if you need any help bringing KB’s back to your local AO’s, just let me know!

T-claps to Brown on the fat cheerleader presses.  How long will you be out for hernia surgery?

Shout out to Madison, Blazing Saddles, and Soul Glow for working in heavier bells from time to time.  Same with Young Love, who brought a fine collection himself, both for working-in the heavies and for sharing with Brown.

Bulldog was no-nonsense on the work (but with solid commentary), as usual, and got in plenty of bonus reps.  Well done.   (and, thx again and looking forward to your lead next week)

That’s about it; besides, my notification for my next meeting just went off…

Aye.
