As the clock struck 0529 there were but two hard-chargers assembled in the misty climes of Dragon Slayer. But what ho? Away, ere break of day! It’s Over Budget who knows not that this is a kettle bell workout. Having been offered a 25 and 30 lb bell, he turned his nose up and hustled back home to acquire his 45 lb beast which he keeps handy for just such occasions.
Whilst Over Budget has bustling around the neighborhood acquiring big bells, Ichabod and YHC kicked the tires and lit the fires in CoP. In better-late-than-never fashion AM-PM (the head Dragon Slayer himself) rolled in, and soon enough Over Budget was back with his big bell. Thus situated, the cozy foursome embarked on the freshly-named (as in named just then as we started) “KING TUT” workout.
We tutted here, we tutted there, we tutted tutted erewhere. Bells were used in all manners with adequate TUT (i.e. time under tension). At one point AMPM was compelled to foist his gargantuan bell at YHC to see how YHC would fare on the one-armed TUT presses. I am pleased to say that YHC comported himself well on that occasion.
The bars were also utilized, which elicited some wailing and grinding of teeth. Over Budget opined that he needed to use less weight on the bars, the only problem being that he WAS the weight.
It was quite a civil affair, not too hard, not too soft, with some mobility thrown in to make it juuuust right. Alas, the civility would not last, as the assemblage of 40+ lb kettlebells was just too alluring for YHC. When I learned that none of the pax had met Mr. Jack Webb, I thought it was time for an introduction. We completed a Webb-amid in a 1:4 ratio all the way up to 6:24 and back down, with all pax enjoying multiple meetings with the big 45’er. At least we went to the grass so our tender little knees were spared.
BRAVO ZULU for Over Budget who just celebrated his 25th anniversary! Way to go birthday buddy!
Prayers up for all marriages, and for Mario Martinez.
