The Thang

Circled up, introduced myself; not a professional and not aware of any injuries, modify as needed. Also, this is not a Tide or Downy sponsored workout, although our water containers are from these products. 

We will be performing exercises with regard to proper form – slow and deliberate movements. Proper form and execution is key, not the number of reps.. Don’t forget your breathing. When you exert the effort, that’s when you exhale. On negative effort, that’s when you inhale. Be mindful, be present.

Mumblechatter: Pax asking what’s this exercise called. Is it in the lexicon?

This one you raise both jugs with arms straight to your shoulder level while going down on squat. So we named it based on how it looks.
