The rain Gods were kind to us today and the Heavy metal Gods were out with a playlist of 1980s British and LA bands good enough to make you wish you still had your mullet. We hit the shoulders and legs pretty hard today with some farmer walks in between. I’ll probably be sore tonight. Great workout fellas and thanks for coming out.

HellsBells PeakCity – did stuff

At 0528 there were only 4 HIMs at the flag, but 10 more arrived over the next 7 minutes. I guess that’s how they do things at the Hulk. One of the site Q’s was there, so that was good.

The Q needed to keep his legs limber for an upcoming Maynard, so the exercises were mainly focused above the waist, except for the required swings, of course.

The workout consisted of sets of 20 reps of exercises grouped together by muscle group, followed by 20 swings at the end of each set. We did all this to the sounds of ska-punk from the late 90’s.

Warmups:
20 Swings
Run in place (holding bell)
Big arm circles
Halos

Shoulders:
20 Front raises
20 Shoulder press
20 Upright rows
20 Half kneeling press
Then 20 Swings

Chest:
20 Chest press
20 Offset Merkins
20 Pullovers
20 Decline press
20 Half Turkish getups
Then 20 Swings

Arms:
20 Curls
20 Tricep extensions
20 Suitcase rows L/R
20 Cleans
Then 20 Swings

Abs:
20 American hammers
20 WWIs
20 American Sledgehammers
20 American hammers
20 Big Boy Situps
Then 20 Swings

Back:
20 Rows L/R
20 Pull through
20 Superman’s
20 Center Rows
Then 20 Swings

When we got through all 5 sets, we did rapid-fire sets of 10 reps of 5 exercises (1 exercise from each group), followed by 10 swings and then a 30-second break in between. We got through 3 of these rapid-fire sets.

We prayed our unspoken prayers. HDHH tonight. Murph coming up. ToC zoning meeting on May 22nd. MIAGD.

This beatdown was brought to you by a Trucker Coffee Shop playlist and ChatGPT. Lots of whiners (and Weiners) this morning at Hulkamania, but that’s how you know it’s a good one. ChatGPT provided an outline which YHC modified (can’t let the machines take full control) but the playlist was all mine. You don’t like the music? Sign up to Q. Also, despite what anyone might say the pledge was executed before the clock rolled to 531 so I was in fact on time.

Pickle and some fairly standard warmups, including some Rick Rudes, to get us limbered up and ready for what some are calling the greatest kettlebell Q of 2025 so far.

Thang 1 – Ladder-time
Ladder of 2-4-6-8-10-8-6-4-2
Goblet Squats
KB Swings
Rows (each arm)
Single arm overhead press (each arm)
This was crushed in a surprisingly fast fashion. Well done everyone.

Thang 2 – The highlight of everyone’s monring – EMOM MADNESS
15 minutes of EMOM fun.
10 High Pulls + 10 L/R Lunges every minute, on the minute.
The pax had so much fun here they just couldn’t contain their mumblechatter. Tears of joy were shed.

Finish up with a recovery pickle and MARY consisting of american hammers, ww2s, plank pull through, and hollow hold.
HAND and the pax wept because the fun was ending.

Major announcements were announced.

Even thoughts of watching Talladega Nights this weekend cannot keep this Q from his most important task of the morning, the backblast. No music. What? Yes. We had nature sounds as we traveled with one heavy bell each. The same set was repeated in multiple places: Swings, Goblet squats, deadlifts, RDLs,OH presses, Switch rows, Hi pulls, thrusters and bell-your-body. Goblet walk between location. Did some ground work mixed in between some sets and some bell mary at COT, which was a robust. Lots of prayers on guys’ hearts. And some strong dudes hit the pull-up bars to continue the pull up challenge. I’d like to say i made the fellas sweat it out but think the humidity had a lot to do with it.

PICANIC time is fast approaching…come get your Fruit Salad, yummy yummy! That’s a Wiggles reference btw.

Full Metal Jacket has a great annual weighted workout for a good cause – fast approaching on 4/29…check COT. Is there any CLOWN CAR heading out that morning?

SCary’s Friday Escalator is FIRED UP. Q sheet filling fast and stuff is HAPPENING there.

I’m not sure how to describe this morning’s workout. I guess incredible experience for me to be in His story, to be able to step up, step out and share. You all make it better by being there. Carpex guys, Green Level, Peakcity, Churham….appreciate all you F3 men, wanting to be being part of His story, too. Receive the gifts. Keep your hands tight around it. Don’t loose it and please take all you’ve received today with you to share with others in your own way. Your friends, families this weekend. Keep it alive. We’ll do it again next year.

Welcome FNG 2 Chains !!

See most of you tomorrow HIGHLAND GAMES 2025

5 for an under the pavilion SWWingers like experience with a round robin Q share.

Stories were told, exercise happened and we left better than we arrived.

Stations of the cross, Highland Games and picnic around the corner.

Prayers for someone to hear a message this weekend that changes their life.

The cold was real, the kettlebells heavier than usual, and the “greatest workout song list ever” turned out to be mildly disappointing—but we pressed on. Today’s Tabata-style KB beatdown included:
1. Kettlebell swings
2. Goblet Squats
3. High Pull
4. Lunges
5. Alternating Snatches
6. Romanian Deadlift (RDL)

Nugent showed his natural sales ability, Cauliflower showed his generosity offering to babysit this summer.

14 for a ladder style kettlebell beatdown.

Minimum mumblechatter for a good portion of the time but it picked up with about 15mins left.

Green Day all day was the playlist.

Announcements were made.

Prayers for YHC and my 2.0. Meeting with orthopedic surgeon this afternoon.
