All’s Quiet at the Matrix

All’s Quiet at the Matrix

16 of South Charlotte’s finest gathered at one of Area 51’s most historic AOs to start the week off right. After a brief but legally sufficient disclaimer, the crew of grizzled veterans moseyed to the back parking lot for COP consisting of 20 SSH, 20 IW, 20 LSS, and 10 merkins.

Thangalicious

• Mosey to the far end of the soccer fields, find a partner, and pick up a cinder block (1 block per partnership/dynamic duo).
• Partner 1 performs called exercise with block while Partner 2 runs across the field to the second light pole and back.
• Flapjack until teams reach 100 combined reps for each block-xercise.
• The Pax completed the overhead press, triceps extension, curl, flutter kicks with chest press, and merkins on the block.
• Our testosterone levels were off the charts at this point, and several Pax began displaying Neanderthal-like behavior including: forehead block smash; howling at the moon; running into trees at full speed; partner body slams.
• After order was restored, we moseyed to the track and prepared for partner core work.
• Partner 1 performs called ab exercise while partner 2 runs a lap around the track, flapjack.
• The Pax started with V-ups, moved on to the American Hammer, Freddie Mercury, dolly, and finished with heels to heaven. YHC’s abs were feeling good ‘n’ shredded right about then.
• Mosey to the playground for a Matrix staple: 10 pull-ups, 20 derkins, 30 dips. Run down to and around the island in the school parking lot after completing each circuit. Repeat. Repeat once more.
• We ended the 1st F portion of the program with five minutes of the People’s Chair. YHC called air presses, arms in front, and air presses again where the Pax successfully counted in unison.
• Squid took us out this fine morning.

Moleskin

• Mumblechatter was quite low from what YHC was able to gather. Analysis: either the Pax had a collective case of the Mondays (don’t you hate it when people say that), or the Weinke kept us moving and O2 deprived. Hopefully it was the latter.
• The Matrix typically draws a strong contingent of Larry Bird types, and I didn’t want to feel their wrath disappoint. We covered 2.6 miles, picked up blocks a few hundred times, and did some other cool stuff.
• Pop Tart was flying around the track like a man possessed. YHC thinks he was trying for the CR on this non-existent Strava segment.
• #Qfail during the first attempt at air press counting during People’s Chair. Pax were all over the board – YHC heard “12,17, 31”. We figured it out the second time and finished strong.
