I am the brettzel, I am the eggman.....

Due to an egg and wine induced coma at the weekend, I forgot to post.
This a play list from a recently discovered Beatles album 'live' from their
'Back in the USSR' tour:

Sgt. Tsatsouline's Lonely Hearts Club Band

featuring the hits:

Hey Pood
The Long and Windmill Road
Pavel in the Sky with Deadlifts (with remastered strongfirst lyrics)
While My Barbell Gently Weeps
Clean and Jerk (to the tune of twist and shout)
Hey You've Got to Press Your Bell Away
Ticket to Pry
Please Clean Me
I Want to Rack your Bell
I Saw Her Squatting There
We Can Lock it Out
Swing it Be
A Snatch in the Life
Pull of Kintyre (arr. Paul McCartney and Swings)
A Hard Stay Tight
Eight Halos a Week
Got to Goblet You into My Life
Kettlebell Fields Forever
Don't Get Up Me Down
The Ballad of Simple & Sinister

....ouch! Apologies to John, Paul and Pavel!! Now, I'd better get some training in.....
 
Hey you've got to press your bell away

---Here I stand
bell in hand
vertically planked up like a wall
need to press on
I'm feeling strong
this 32 is feeling small ---

---Everywhere people stare
they want to be the same way
they ask me how
in response I say---

---Hey
You've got to press your bell away
Hey
You've got to press your bell away---


---Start out light
train often and tight
get your form true
stay with it, don't hold back
and you will get strong too---

---Hey
You've got to press your bell away
Hey
You've got to press your bell away---



--No one going to say to me
your form looks somewhat slacked
my abs are braced and
my shoulders packed
I'm driving straight up from the ground--

--Hey
You've got to press your bell away
Hey
You've got to press your bell away---

:p
 
@ ali
You really threw down the gauntlet with this one. Being a big Beatles nerd when I was younger I've got all these songs drifting through my head...The Long and Windmill Road might drove me insane trying to come up with something.

Hey Pood,
Don't be sad
You'll be the heaviest kettlebell again
when I am older
The minute I picked you up with a grin
you did begin
to make me better

Well you know that its a fool
who lifts more than
is cool
they're gonna get hurt before its over
Blow it out and breath it in
Hey Pood let's begin
its time for more time under tension
Na Na NaNa Na Na Na Naaaaa

Hey pood
don't you fuss
As long as I'm alive
you'll never collect dust.
The first time I snatched you up in my grip
it was the start of a beautiful friendship
Na Na NaNa Na Na Na Naaaaa
 
"We Can Lock It Out"

Try to train it my way
Do I have to keep on pressing till I can't go on?
While you train it your way
Run the risk of knowing that your gains will take to long

We can lock it out
We can lock it out

Think of what you're saying
You can lift it wrong and still you think that it's airtight
Train the way I'm training
We can work out tight and strong, or just pretend our form is right

We can lock it out
We can lock it out

Our workout is very short, and there's no time
For lifting loose and sloppy, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
To not finish strong right to the end

Try to train it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you lift it your way,
There's a chance that we might waste our time with this poor form

We can lock it out
We can lock it out

Our workout is very short, and there's no time
For lifting loose and sloppy, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
To not finish with full extension right to the end

Try to train it my way
Only time will tell if I am wrong or I am right
While you lift it your way,
There's a chance that we will waste our time if we aren't tight


We can lock it out
We can lock it out

:eek:
 
The Ballad of Simple & Sinister

Standing in the gym in the corner
Trying to get the right kettlebell
The man at the desk said
I've got some in back
You know they didn't even buy us good bells

Christ you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
But I just keep going
Cause S&S will save me.

Finally found the bell that I needed
Did my halos, bridges, and squats
The CrossFitters say
You can do it our way
You can get fitter if you AMRAP and lots

Christ you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
But I just keep going
Cause S&S will save me.

Set up for my one handed swings
Trying not to look at the clock
The new guy he said
Hey what're you doing with that
I said I'm only trying to make that bell pop

Christ you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
But I just keep going
Cause S&S will save me.

Setting up my bell now, for the next big part
Shaking out like fast-and-loose
Last night the wife said
Oh boy when you're dead
You don't take nothing with you but your muscles, think

Did my first get-up as a beauty
Went on with 9 more like a pro
The treadmillers said
You'll drop that thing on your head
And working out like that, you'll get slow

Christ you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
But I just keep going
Cause S&S will save me.

Finally time to practice my stretches
90/90, QL, here goes
The men on the weights
Said you doing yoga or what
You'll look like Gumby not Arnold, do you know?

Christ you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
But I just keep going
Cause S&S will save me.
But I just keep going
Cause S&S will save me.
 
Well she could have passed for 17
tall hard and lean
And the weights she moved
she must be strong as a mare

So how could I gawk at another,
Oh, when I saw her squatting there

Well she looked at me
And I, I could see
She's thinking "this guy's a creep
and what's up with his hair??!!"

I'm not gonna gawk at another
Oh, when I saw her squatting there

She's tossing iron 'round like it's not there
and I'm trying hard not to stare
this girl's for real
her form is beyond compare

She slapped more plates on with a boom
I 'm not the only guy in the room
holding my breath,
waiting for her next set.

How could I gawk at another,
Ohhhh, when I saw her squatting there?!!

Enough is enough,
gotta take care of my own stuff.
I hit the stack,
I should be working out my back.

Got other things to do tonight
finish my workout and grab a bite,
gonna remember this though
she does Olympic lifts on Wednesday nights

Oh, I'm not gonna gawk at another,
when I saw her squatting there?!!
