Mother Nature did her part in trying to stop FORTY-TWO week from beginning, but she failed.  My 42nd birthday is today and I will be Q’ing all week to celebrate the joyous occasion. I was joined by 2 brave PAX who took the red pill and now have shoulders that are amply swole to show for it. Disclaimer given.  Here is how it went down:

Warmarama:

• Mosey around HT lot
• SSH X 21 IC (42 total for those counting at home)
• WM X 5 IC plenty
• CP X 5 IC plenty
• IST X 15 IC
• Merkins X 10 IC
• MC X 10 IC

The Thang:

Stayed in HT lot, no rain at moment, but that would change and we would then mosey to the BB&T drive thru for completion of beatdown. Kettlebell circuit of 5 rounds of the following, KB to not be put on ground until completely finished:

• Clean and press X 7 each arm
• Snatch X 7 each arm
• Press X 7 each arm
• KB Swings both arms X 21 – 42 total reps, of course

In between rounds here is what we did:

• Lunge walk down lot and back X 1
• SSH X 21 – 42 total, theme here X 1
• KB Deadlift X 10 IC – effectively 20 X 5
• Bob & Weave X 10 IC X 5

Mary:

• Mason Twists X 21
• LBC X 21

COT:

Keep God first in your thoughts and heart, can be hard with everything going on in life.

Moleskin:

• Thanks to First Date and Schnitzel for posting today, would have been easy to fartsack it with the weather.  With it being FORTY-TWO week, I would have 100% done the workout by myself if I had to.
• Loving the upgrade to the 35 lb bell
• Glad Schnitzel made it home alright after locking keys in the car
• First Date tore it up after a bit of a layoff
• I like the circuit where you don’t put the kettlebell down, forearms are on fire at the end.  Hello grip strength.
• Shoulders took a beating, hopefully they hold up for the whole week.
• See everyone (everyone right?!) out there this week
