No Bad Vibes

Date: 2024-04-04 AO: the-devils-turn Q: grasshopper PAX: Astro (Kyle Kirchhoff), bunker, fletch, frasier, voodoo FNGs: None COUNT: 6
WARMUP: None to speak of, but a few of the pax pre-ran (Voodoo, Fletch, Frasier) THE THANG: 6 adventurers headed off in the gloom on a perfect spring morning. All 6 returned (which YHC counts as a successful Q). Fairly quickly the 6 turned into two groups of 3, though neither was running with any anger.
There was a wide variety of topics discussed, including but not limited to running, trail running, ultra running, running injuries, famous runners and pollen. MARY: this will never be used at DT ANNOUNCEMENTS: WTF isn’t just something you utter when you open that email from your accountant. There’s rumors of a Savage Race. COT: YHC jumped at the opportunity to take us out, and dare I say, led a mildly motivational invocation of the deity. I inadvertently left out the best of us Astro (Kyle Kirchhoff) when asking for safe travels for our brothers chasing glory. Go get ‘em Astro, we’ll be watching the race hoping to see you out there. :pray:

Hit Box Convergence

Date: 2024-04-03 AO: meathead Q: voodoo PAX: The Worm, Unplugged, Uncle Leo, ickey_shuffle, voodoo FNGs: None COUNT: 5 It was a rainy morning, so the Q called for the pax to circle up at the Hot Box. Wet bells don’t work well for anyone. With the SACS pax converging at Anvil today, they also moved to the HotBox to keep their sack dry. We ended up with 9 pax under the roof.
Here’s what we did at Meathead:
WARMUP: SSH x 20 IC 10 swings IW x 15 IC Prying squats Sharon Towers x 10 IC
THE THANG: We’re working our way through the SFG Prep spreadsheet and today was doubles day.
3 sets of 5 single leg deadlifts per side with a single bell 5 :30 waiter holds per side 5 sets of 5 double cleans 5 sets of 5 double front squats
We had a little time left so we did the following: Reverse Pelosi SNATCH ladder – 5 per side, 4 per side, 3 per side, all the way down to 1 per side. Minimize putting the bell down. Ladder to 11 – 10 merkins + 1 lawnmower row per side to 1 merkin + 10 lawnmower rows per side. Most ox ran out of time before completing this.
Thanks to the pax that posted in suboptimal weather this morning. It’s a pain to haul your bells to and from your car and I appreciate you making the effort. It was good to have Unplugged back after some time away. He took a couple of swings of the squats with the 32 kg bells (142 lbs) and was better for it. It was good to spend a little time with our SACS brothers as we shared the shelter to keep our gear dry. The Worm had his back to them, but didn’t smoke them out. Very welcoming.
MARY: Don’t know her. We worked our abs by bracing during the squats.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Waxhaw trail fest coming up 4/20. Goruck light coming up this Friday or next. Savage Race in June.
COT: Unplugged was fresh off his mission trip and took us out.
