Well, it’s not quite Christmas yet, but there might not be a better way to give thanks and earn a Thanksgiving meal than slogging through a fun, longer effort. Follow the movements to the tune of the song 12 days of Christmas. It’ll go like this . . .

2 – 2 Muscle-Ups, 250 Meter Row
3 – 3 DB Thrusters, 2 Muscle-Ups, 250 Meter Row
4 – 4 BBJ, 3 DB Thrusters, 2 Muscle-Ups, 250 Meter Row
. . . and so on.

Post your time to the blog, but it’s not my primary concern. Have some fun with friends as you do this and be thankful that your fitness allows you to think things like this are fun.

Athlete Notes:
Today’s a great day to be thankful! Every year we put you guys through this workout. There’s no strategy, and really we don’t care all too much about scores. What we do care about is that you get with some friends and enjoy this workout together and be thankful that our fitness allows us to call things like this “fun”.

Primer done
A. 180Kg
B. 39:33 Rx; paced this too slow. I was comfortable through most of this. That said, I had fun doing this, I was pain free, and everything was UB.

Happy Thanksgiving.

We really miss being separated from family and friends in the States at Thanksgiving. COVID has made getting together very hard for tbs last couple of years. Hopefully that all changes in 2022.

Primer done.
A. Deadlifts- 5x 1 @195
B. 68:38. I took my time on this. It certainly wasn’t the lack of O2 that held me down, it was the shoulder fatigue!! Holy cow!!

It was actually kinda fun.
All the extra lower back work, since we live on the 2nd floor and have to put down the dumbbells every time way too gently haha
