Kettlebells: The Great American Pastime

Leave a comment

WARMUP: mountain climbers, overhead claps, merkins, CDDs
THE THANG: Mozy to the adjacent parking lot where bases and cones were setup to form a baseball field. (Happy Hour’s and my son play on the same baseball team). Each base in baseball has a number associated with it. In order from 1-9, those are pitcher, catcher, first, second, third, shortstop, left field, center, and right field.
Starting at pitcher we did one rep then moved to catcher for two reps, first base for three reps and on and on until we got to left field for nine reps. One full round of the bases is 45 reps. Transportation of kettlebells alternated between farmers carry and overhead carry.
We started with goblet squats then moved on to kettlebell swings. We then got a 6/4/3 double play of flutters with a press. After the double play we resumed our base walking with clean & presses, then the next round was upright rows. For thoroughness, these two rounds we did left handed and right handed.
After the clean/press the Pax called for a 7th inning “stretch” so we did a few honeymooners and downward dogs before resuming. A brief rendition of “Take me out to the ballgame” was heard but thankfully didn’t last long.
Next round was curls and with limited time remaining, we did 20 tricep extensions with everyone at a base of their choice. When it was all totaled up, we were just short of 350 reps.
Not sure if everyone had fun, but everyone now knows that right field is #9!
MARY: skipped it
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Fast Five, newsletter
COT: Family and friend’s health

50, in air quotes, percent better at the #ao-snakepit…

Leave a comment

WARMUP: 10 Moroccan nightclubs, 10 Windmills, 10 side straddle hops
THE THANG:

2 times through this stuff!

1. 50 Calf Raises then 50+ yd-ish Mosey w/ KB,
2. 50 Goblet Squats Sumo style then 50+ yd-ish Mosey w/ KB,
3. 50 KB Deadlifts then 50+ yd-ish Mosey w/ KB,
4. 50 LBC’s with KB then 50+ yd-ish Mosey w/ KB,
5. 50 KB Push-ups (25 L & R) then 50+ yd-ish Mosey w/ KB,
6. 50 Curls then 50+ yd-ish Mosey w/ KB,
7. 50 Lat Push then 50+ yd-ish Mosey w/ KB,

“Rattle Snakes” were offered for the overachievers, although not many were actually done. “Rattle Snakes” are basically a plank where you jump your legs side to side. Probably has a different name, but since we were in the ao-snake-pit…

Slight modification on 2nd round, but all reps accounted for plus 50 KB swings.

MARY: Box cutters, American Hammers, Protractor, Hello Dolly’s

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Fastest 5k, represent for VuVu’s son!

COT: It is what it is…
