Caption contest worthy. Have at it in comments, below.
for time:
9x squat snatch @ 135/95-lbs.
27x unbroken pull-up
8x squat snatch
24x unbroken pull-up
7x squat snatch
21x unbroken pull-up
+ swing debt* @ 55/35-lbs.
*Swing debt accrues in 10 repetition intervals, every time a set of pull-ups is broken. Any swing debt will be completed after the completion of the last set of pull-ups, so as not to preclude intensity. The clock does not stop until your swing debt is completed.
This workout is scored by both the time and swing debt.
Is that a hernia?
“I’ve got something for your squat snatch.”
“I *really* love how that Lulu shirt brings out Stu’s pecs.”
Just when I thought that the worst of my day was over – just finished 6 hours in the car with my screaming kids – I get sucker punched right in the (insert your funny comments here).
T’s comment is the best so far, but I am sure more are coming. So looking forward to reading more comments from my gym “friends.”
Droz the Bitter.
Show off!
Just signed up for the Mid-Atlantic Hopper challenge. Actually, I’m on the recently expanded waiting list. There are about 35 more spots for those interested.

I didn’t think a three-handed deadlift was allowed.
And here I thought Mikeheartsdeadlifts
Ok, true story: Mel and I just saw “the rest” of that picture. We put it up because of the expression on Droz’s face; it was the first thing we said when the photo was taken. Really. We left the barbell in for context. Then, someone from the 8a class helped us out.
We’re really, really sorry, Droz. As for the lot of you, well, at least now we know where your heads are. Sweet Jeebus.

…I mean, I was even reading through the comments last night and this morning thinking, wow, none of these make any sense…
John
…reading T’s comment, I thought: ok, not a bad start.
Reading Erez’s, I thought: well, maybe he’s just not that funny.
Reading Rob’s, I thought: that doesn’t make any sense—what does StuLu have to do with any of this?
Reading Droz’s, I thought: what is his problem?
Reading Dave O.’s, I thought: you’re not even trying, dude.
Reading Jeremy’s, I thought: uh, wait a minute…
Reading Ivy’s, I thought: uh-oh.
John
Well, now none of these make any sense.
Of course, coaches’ “We didn’t even see it” is the cruelest caption of them all.
Now that’s funny.
Too funny! This one gets my vote!
OK, well, I was trying to be nice but I was thinking:
Yeah, but let’s see your snatch!
Dave O.
Coach, I was laughing my A$$ off last night when this photo went up, and thought, “WOW- John really must know John S. well to know he can take that kind of ribbing.” To Our Dear Droz- I apologize. Very funny, though. Very funny. And for the record, I think T’s comment was the funniest.
“dammit, i just sharted AGAIN?”
(sorry, i couldn’t resist)
Steve D
John & Mel,
No apologies necessary. If I hadn’t been “showing off” at how “light” the weight was, I wouldn’t have had that absurd look on my face.
True story – my absolute bottom of the barrel shorts, for obvious reasons.
The rest of you, whether you saw the original picture or not, keep the comments coming (we have a lot of creative folks among us).
Droz
You’re a great sport. Sorry for the low blow (that’s what she said).
God, I am on a roll.
considering that our tag line “want it, come and get it” was coined by Socknat…..I’m just say’n!
Actually, all I ever did was steal the Hard. Fast. No cuddling afterwards. I had no hand in want it, come and get it.

Unrelated question…. what are the shorts called that have the compressionish shorts inside them called? I have a pair… but can’t recall. I’m tired of ripping my boxers from squats on days when those are in the wash! Thanks for the help 🙂
