Date: 2024-03-27 AO: meathead Q: high_tide PAX: Uncle Leo, MARTA, The Worm, Pilgrim FNGs: None COUNT: 5 Arguably monotonous, our current program is designed with a purpose in mind, and we’re men of purpose. Dutifully, we followed said spreadsheet today, under the dry shelter of the hotbox, and welcomed a pilgrim who’d joined us.
WARMUP: SSH Prying squats THE THANG: 10 rounds of 5 presses per side (24kg) 24 rounds of 10 one-handed swings EMOM (28kg) Farmer holds to run out the clock MARY: No flutes were bridged today ANNOUNCEMENTS: Nary a one of note COT: Good work today, building up swing (& snatch) and pressing capacity. Not exciting work but worthwhile results. (Do you want to be entertained? Or make progress? :point_up: one for progress, please)
Musical accompaniment was a dusted off old playlist running the gamut from Conan the Barbarian to Limp Bizkit. Something for everyone.
Other learnings included: Uncle Leo’s naming etymology; why Jeeps have ducks; how socially awkward college guys are managed at parties so the pretty girls come back next time; everyone else already knew about senior games prior to this year (including Marta who is 13 years away from being eligible himself); and faced with two alternatives to Anvil, Pilgrim chose the harder option of Meathead over mailing it in at SACS. . . Holy Week workout Man has tried, and failed, to “workout” his own salvation, his reconciliation to God, since his banishment from the garden of Eden. Tried and failed every time. Even our best efforts can never be good enough. Praise to the Most High God that He loved us such that, though we were/are unlovely in our sin and rebellion, that He sent His Son to die in our place, rise from the grave, and reconcile us all to Himself. Let’s gratefully reflect on His Gift this week and celebrate His Resurrection this Easter Sunday. (If you don’t have a church home or know Jesus as your savior, please reach out to me and be my guest at Carmel Baptist.)
Aye.
