Old School, New School, Doppelgängers, and Disappearances
The use of heavy music was pre-blasted by YHC today for my first kettlebell Q at Crazy Ivan. We moved not so heavy weight a lot of reps and listened to heavy music most of the time. 13 pax showed up on another rainy and humid morning under the garage for some 40/10 tabata kettlebell work. We had 6 in attendance for EC (3 running including YHC/3 yoga) with one disappearance for the main event. Where did Emeril go???
FNG’s: None
Warm Up: SSH, Good Mornings, Sir Fazios, and Frankenstein’s with a 2 loop mosey around the deck.
The Workout: 40/10 tabata with 8 exercises planned for 5 rounds but YHC called an audible for popcorn instead of final round. This was a great mix of pax I don’t often see, so YHC wanted to test the creativity of the group for the final round… they did not disappoint!
4 Round Exercises were: Halos, Clean/Jerk/Press, Kettlebell Merkin, Swings, Midget Love Handles, Goblet Squats, Figure 8’s, and Lawnmowers.
The playlist stayed heavy throughout. At one point, the Dawgpound asked if a Metallica song was Godsmack. The pax corrected him and went on to say that the song was new school Metallica (if by new school we mean 1997). Fonzie then says, “man, if that’s new school we should put on some Hanson or the Monkeys.” Playlist eventually turned to a lighter track with the Foofighters that the Dawgpound guessed correctly followed by a 16-bit comment of “this playlist is kinda psychotic”. YHC responded, “yeah I know I like it!” At the same time YHC mentioned that Boy George is a doppelgänger for Dave Grohl of the FooFighters. Apparently, Boy George Has heard this before. Then some actual old school Metallica Seek and Destroy came on. Now that’s 1983. Of course, 16 bit says, “isn’t it all really old school nowadays?” Good point.
Audible called to popcorn for pax to call 15 reps of anything including Mary moves. Exercises were: kick throughs, 2 rounds of Midget Cookie Pouches, standard merkins, 6 inches, LSF’s, Shoulder Press, Boobity-Boobitys, H2Ms, chest presses, LBC, and of course Lucky Charms calls burpees to just about blast us out!
Mary: Box Cutters, Pickle Pounders
Announcements: Sign up/pay up for the RUNE. Some guys are heading out at 0630 from Hilltop Needmore Park on Sunday for some adopt the highway action.
