X and Girevoy Training

On my way into work this morning there was nothing good on the radio. I had a fantastic mix CD* in, but have been listening to it for several days. I have a small box of about 15-20 CDs on the rear passenger floorboard of my car. At a stoplight I reached back and grabbed one at random.

In my hand was Los Angeles by the influential late-70s/early-80s punk band X. I couldn’t have picked better if I’d been looking.

X - Los Angeles

Workout

2x
16kg KB Snatch AMAP in 4:00 (102 / 90)
Rest 4:00
2-16kg KB Jerk AMAP in 4:00 (60 / 64)
Rest 4:00
Pull Ups on Rings AMAP in 4:00 (29 / 24)
Rest 4:00

Rest periods should have been a little shorter, maybe 3 minutes. Maybe next time.

Mix

  • Guns and Roses
  • Dropkick Murphys
  • Rollins Band
  • White Stripes
  • The Clash
  • The Bottle Rockets
  • Amazing Royal Crowns
  • Social Distortion
  • Nirvana
  • Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

That’s all off the top of my head. I’m sure the order is wrong. I may even be missing a band or two. Regardless, it’s a good CD and on my regular play list.

    You do, in fact. I think there are only maybe a half-dozen people in the world with a copy of that compilation CD…and I’m one of them. Good stuff.

    X reunited recently. They played Pops back in March. Quite a few 80’s and early 90’s bands seem to be reuniting lately!

    How long have you been lurking?
    Welcome aboard, and I do hope you become a regular here. Maybe you’ll join us for a Wednesday morning sometime?
