Doctors’ Bills
All BackBlasts BackblastsMarch 13th, 2020
Round ’bout now lots of readers and pax are heeding the calls of the CDC, WHO, their PCP, and all the other letters in the alphabet soup that is news media and medical NGO’s these days. The top of the talk is a sinister little strain of Human Coronavirus and the disease it causes, which we have come to call COVID-19 (COrona VIrus Disease 2019). They also seem to be heeding the pre-blasted news that YHC would be helming Mint Hill Metal today, according the schedule and certain travel restrictions, and either attending elsewhere or sheltering in place. But there were 4 brave souls willing to test their mettle and pay the doctors’ bills, which are ranging high right about now for sure.
Today’s prescription hearkened back to classic Meathead and Metal 0.0 madness. A thousand reps to pay down the bills that many of us are sure to pay in the coming days, weeks, months. If YHC had any fore-sight, he might have considered it a tribute to the thousands in the death toll of this virulent disease. Nay, he’s not that noble or foresighted. He’s actually quite the opposite, diagnosed and existentially myopic.
THE SCRIP
A list of 10 exercises, some have variations built-in. Each exercise is 25 reps. Then repeat the list 4 times. We did this together so that none would rip through it and all would complete it together.
- Swings (any form desired, consistent or variable)
- Eat the Bell (round 3, YHC allowed High Pulls as a substitute)
- Standing Chest Presses (round 3, YHC allowed laying CP as a substitute)
- Standing Tricep Presses (round 3, YHC allowed laying Skullcrushers as a substitute)
- Squats (any form desired, loaded or empty, consistent or variable)
- Deadlifts (any form desired, loaded or empty, consistent or variable)
- Lawn Mower Left (time to work those lats)
- Lawn Mower Right (time to work those lats)
- Teapot Left (hand on the oblique and all that)
- Teapot Right (hand on the oblique and all that)
THE WORD ON THE STREET
Okay, so YHC is so out of touch that he still uses the phrase, “word on the street.” The only thing he knows is that he is not a professional, expert, or otherwise and COVID-19 will affect more of the population before things get any better. Be prepared.
God Bless our brothers who travelled to the anniversary convergence today. God bless our brothers who attended the fartsack channels. Oh well, God bless everyone else too. We’re gonna need it.
