True tales from the X files

Date: 2024-01-24 AO: the-maul Q: kirby PAX: picasso, Brexit FNGs: None COUNT: 3
WARMUP: Go to tap ans vine turn around pick up Brexit THE THANG: Things quickly went off the rails as amazing tales of youth came up. Lots of merkins and lunges and a DDL. The moral of the story is don’t miss workout if you want to hear the script for the next non fiction blockbuster. MARY: along the way and pax call. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Damn to Dam bar. Frehleys convergence and Exlaxstravaganza COT: CAMARADERIE Picasso I totally spelled it wrong 🤣. I am so glad I was not alone this morning. Time well spent in the gloom. Thanks Brexit and Picasso.

Everyone On Q

Date: 2024-01-23 AO: bagpipe Q: Eleanor , Cooter2, Rousey, Spitball, Roulette, war_eagle PAX: Cooter, Rousey, Spitball, Roulette, war_eagle FNGs: None COUNT: 6 WARMUP: >SSH >Low Slow Squats >Windmills
THE THANG: Everyone was on Q today. We mosied to the parking deck and each CoQ called 3 exercises (done for 30 seconds with 30 seconds b/w) between levels.

Might As Well Jump

Date: 2024-01-23 AO: swole Q: ickey_shuffle PAX: Emoji, voodoo FNGs: None COUNT: 3 WARMUP: A kettlebell workout without kettlebell swings is not a kettlebell workout, and a doughnut without a hole is a danish. Therefore for a warmup we did 100 swings, 50 merkins, 50 bent over rows, and 100 LBC.
THE THANG: It is de-load week of the High Tide Hypertrophy Plan which is loosely based on the Fibonacci sequence. Speaking of math, remember when our teachers told us we needed to memorize a bunch of equations because we wouldn’t be walking around with a calculator in our pockets all the time? Anyway, the 3/5/8 + 3/5/8 + 3/5 sets were pull ups, front squats, and clean & press. Chase that with some heavy carries. It was cold. Winter sucks and I don’t understand why people live where they have real ones.
MARY: A few core exercises to round out the time, mostly avoiding the ones I don’t like. Iron sharpening & whatnot.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Winter sucks. So does this slackblast nonsense. It feels like a cop out and typing on a phone is a pain in the ass. We need to get back to writing proper backblasts, on an actual website, as Xenu intended. This #LearnToCode stuff can kiss my ass. The music today was a listen of Van Halen’s 1984 album, which for the mathematically inclined, turned 40 this month. Now I believe it’s time to have a glass of prune juice and prepare my room at Sharon Towers.
COT: Poorly performed by YHC. I tried.

New territory?

Date: 2024-01-23 AO: fast-twitch Q: purell PAX: Alf, Astro (Kyle Kirchhoff), Benny, fletch, retread, Dosey Doe, purell FNGs: None COUNT: 7 WARMUP: Resist the urge to do bi’s and tri’s at Crunch, head across Providence to Hembstead THE THANG: Searching for hills. 1 Merkin at bottom, gas up the hill, 2 jump squats at the top, recover to next hill, 3 merkins at the bottom… etc. Found 8 hills. Mixed terrain with trails to scratch Fletch’s itch and even found multiple? uncharted territory as promised and approved by Alf’s 10 years of FT experience. Retread plowed thru the hills as usual and Benny is getting back in shape – looking for a year of good health! Dosey Doe and Astro on the early bird train for a nice day of mile repeats and double digits in miles! MARY: ANNOUNCEMENTS: COT: Prayers for Benny’s aunt looking to get released from the hospital today.

Upcycling is a real thing

Date: 2024-01-23 AO: skunk-works Q: hoover PAX: ChickenWing, smokey, Mountain Momma FNGs: None COUNT: 4 Four men swung hard iron in the gloom to an old favorite of a playlist at an old favorite workout. Topics discussed included Bills football, miraculous healing, and Smokey’s desire to see Charlotte snow this winter.
Both the weinke and the playlist were old favorites. With the playlist getting the most positive feedback.
WARMUP: 100 swings interspersed with IWs, Sharon Towers, Peter Parker’s and Parker Peter’s.
THE THANG: Do an exercise then run to the end of the parking lot and back. cleans, high pulls, lawnmowers, squats, merkins, swings. Two rounds of that.
Then a Voodoo complex ladder 3/2/1/2/3
MARY: Today it was Murray, not Mary.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Prayers for those who need healing bot mental and physical.
COT: Smokey, as usual, gave an eloquent COT.

Date: 2024-01-22 AO: firestarter Q: Palmolive PAX: Franky FNGs: None COUNT: 2 It was a cold morning, and the Blakeney fountain was frozen. 2 PAX decided to get some miles in to start the week right. The same 2 PAX regretted not wearing head lamps.

Broken arrow comes out of the shadows ran out with the group then mysteriously dropped back and ran by himself back to launch
Full house and I ran at varying paces mostly guided by Oona
Grasshopper had a bright light, refused to run over 8 m/m and needed an extra mile at the end.
Either way, everyone got what they wanted.

Lucky 7s

Date: 2024-01-19 AO: centurion Q: Mr. Magoo PAX: Emoji, lorax, grave_dancer, snowflake, Pilgrim, Snuka FNGs: None COUNT: 8 7 seems to be a lucky number today.  The same count at Centurion.  Head to your local crap table quickly.  We warmed up at Wells Fargo where we watched a car circle the lot.  Then to the rock pile for some lifting and short hill runs between sets.  @Pilgrim decided to boulder lift instead.  Next to the pool lot for a lunge walk.  Then off to the school and a run around the field stopping at the four corners for merkins and LBCs.  We also climbed the parking deck stair wells squatting at the bases and burpees at the tops.  Finished back at start with a few burpees to kill time.  The security guard would have joined us had he not worked out earlier.  Surprisingly the cheerleaders did not come out to cheer us on.  Thanks @snowflake for the Q assignment.  @Emoji @grave_dancer @lorax @Pilgrim @snuka @snowflake
