Louder than 10

Things are hectic around here. We’re about 1 week away from a code freeze on one project and 3.5 weeks away on another and kicking off two more at the same time. (We’re also trying to hire someone, which means I might be getting some help soon…but it also means I have to spend time sitting in interviews. Not complaining, just explaining.) I’m working not-quite-double-time to keep up and my blogging-queue seems to be running about a day behind. My apologies.

Wednesday Workout

The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and…
Marty
Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel
Exactly.
Marty
Does that mean it’s louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You’re on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you’re on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty
I don’t know.
Nigel
Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty
Put it up to eleven.
Nigel
Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty
Why don’t you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel
These go to eleven.

It was a beautiful morning to be outside. About 50°F, clear sky, still air. Awesome. There were three of us - Marathoner, Parth and me - and we did a variation of the Gym Jones regular “Louder than 10″.

Warm Up (waiting for Parth to show)
1200m Jog
Louder than 10 (variation)
11x
5x Renegade Man-Makers @ 2-16kg KB
10x Push Ups
15x Swings @ 16kg KB

Total time: 30:14.

I think any of the three of us could have done it faster alone…the Renegade Man-Makers were the bottleneck. It was a reasonable workout nonetheless.
