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.

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.

MIAGD

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.

Covers on the boombox. Covering ground on the agenda.

Off the top rope, we went straight into a modified DORA. Partnered up for 200 of each exercise:
– Swings
– Squat Thrusters
– Pullover Press
…with a Kettlebell Mile inspired long pickle for the partner.

This started sucking more quickly than I expected.

Next round:
– Merkins
– Plank pull throughs
– RDLs
… Kettlebell Mile on the short pickle

Finished up with All You Gots from Promo and Jiggly for Merkin Madness.

Cover Shuffle:
Mad World – Gary Jules
Hurt – Johnny Cash
Faith – Limp Bizkit
Smooth Criminal – Alien Ant Farm
Summer Breeze – Type O Negative
Lose Yourself – Saliva
Forever Young – David Guetta
Ocean Avenue – Steve Aoki
Pony – Slothrust (strong addition)
Sound of Silence – Disturbed (the crowd favorite)
I Will Survive – Cake
Blinded By The Light – Manfred Mann’s Earth Band (Cauli was happy)

Honored to lead. No more Kettlebell Mile inspired Q’s from me for a while.

Four became six today as Cauliflower showed us his bell warming technique borrowed from Bronx Bomber. Kitty Litter showed up delaying the start by 30 seconds, but we gave him a pass. Pick Up showed up at his usual time. Penalty burpees were not assessed because no one wanted to do them anyway.

We had a freshly descaled coffee pot full of hot brew. Contrary to what Astro says, a patina in an Aero Press is not a positive thing. Playlist was heavy into 90s grunge though we spanned 60 years of music history. We learned that Lady Gaga was a backup singer for Paul Simon on his greatest album ever, Graceland. The Pointe Break came in for Spade’s quarterly fly by.

Oh, and I guess we worked out. You know, kettlebell stuff. Thanks to the guys who showed up in solidarity and support. If someone crosses your mind, reach out, especially if you haven’t done so in a long time. You’ll probably make their day. Doesn’t it feel good when someone does the same for you?

Two brave kettle-ballers braved the snow but retreated to the safety of the pavelion (thanks for the safety nudge Nugent). Tabata style workout to stay warm, although it felt much warmer than the teens and wind chills of recent memories. Lots of solid mumblechatter about parenting, marriage, life, and overall quality of January as a month. 100% coffeteria attendance where the merits and risks of electric vehicles were discussed among other things. Overall a fantastic start to this snow day. Thanks for the company this morning Nugent.

The dome was tested and it won for 45 minutes! It opened during COT and started Raining Tacos but we stayed dry under the Pavelion. Tabata style mix of bells, body weight, and core. Playlist was full of rain.

Toy drive this week, food drive this week, Christmas Party next week, Cary Parade this weekend. Be a light and MIAGD!

Cold one today.

Swings/merks
Cleans/squats
Press/Mountain Climbers

Coffee was a fail (as expected) but Sbarro saved the day (as expected).

Great morning to be in the gloom.

MIAGD!
