The Thang:

Nine weight stations as follows. Do 12 reps at each station

  • Bench – 35lb kettle overhead extensions and diamond press

  • Bent over row – 60lb sack

  • 777 LLL curls w/ 15lb dumbbells. Hold right arm 90 degrees while left arm does 7 reps/curls. Then hold left arm 90 degrees while right arm does 7 reps. Then go down to 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 rep and then 7 curls at end with both arms

  • Upright row – 35lb kettle bell

  • Front and side raises – 12lb dumbbells

  • Goblet Squats – 45lb kettle

  • Skull crusher single hand – 20lb kettles

  • Shoulder shrugs – 30lb kettles

  • One arm kettle swings – 20lb dumbbell

In between stations we did the following

  • Burpees x5 (round 1)

  • Mercans x5 (round 2)

  • CDD x10 (round 3)

After each round we took two laps around the boat launch parking lot

Moleskine

  • There was an OSHA incident today where a person assumed the flat bench was actually flat, but it quickly gave way to a decline bench while weights were in hand. Thankfully there were no injuries or threats of litigation to report

  • How far did you run from your house from muscle beach? About 7 miles with some burpees thrown in

  • Water is calling and we must answer the call…

  • Binge watching show recommendations shared for Soap Millionaires? and Game of Thrones

  • We heard the infamous song Liar on the portable speaker this morning.  It was not actually a lie, more like a failure to disclose

  • Burpees in between reps can really reduce the mumblechatter

  • Let me tell you about this time I trespassed at the Kemper Open….

  • Do you even lift bro?

  • Does all this working out have you in search of a low calorie beer that actually tastes good? Look no further than Laguinitas DayTime IPA. Forecast calls for many of these to be crushed during the upcoming boating season

  • Shout out to El Tigre for basically bringing a portable gym along with him to Muscle Beach every week. That is really swell, and helps us get really swoll

  • That workout was Magnús Ver Magnússon-esque men!
