A little of this and a little of that

A little of this and a little of that

Despite the unseasonably cold temperature this morning, 12 men decided to show up and test their mettle (or is it “metal”) at another installment of Olympus.

The Thang:

Take the KBs to the big parking lot. Drop them and run to the school sidewalk and back.

Disclaimer: I’m not a professional, interrupt if you have questions, modify as needed.

• ~25x SSH IC
• 15x IW IC (#boring)
• 25x KB swings OYO

Warm up over. Partner up by KB size for CMIYC. P1 takes both bells and runs for the light at 51. P2 does 10 merkins and chases. Flapjack until you make the light. Brief plank for the six.

Drop the KBs at the light and run to Carmel Baptist. Run down to the field and grab some wall for Peoples’ Chair while waiting for the six. Once we’re all there, do 10 climb ups on the wall. A few weeks ago we came down here with Alf and did some tire work. It seemed like fun, so we did it again. Partners take turns flipping tires and carrying tires until everyone’s had a chance for both. 10 more climb ups and then mosey back to the bells.

CMIYC to the second school entrance and back into the bus lot. P1 farmer carries two bells while P2 does 10 merkins and chases.

Circle up at the lot for a quick set of individual KB exercises:

• 25 swings OYO
• 20 snatches (10 per arm)
• 20 OH press
• 20 cleans (10 per arm)

Take KBs to the track near the playground for more partner work. P1 does 10 (or max) pullups while P2 does called KB exercise. P1 is the timer. Once complete, flapjack.

• Round 1: TGUs without KB for those that haven’t done them before
• Round 2: TGUs with KB
• Round 3 – See saw press
• Round 4 – Raised right leg split squat with KB (P1 switches to merkins)
• Round 5 – Raised left leg split squat with KB (P1 switches to derkins)
• Round 6 – Swings (P1 switches to incline merkins)

Haul KBs back over to the cars for Mary:

• LSF with KB press x 25 IC
• Russian twist with KB x 10 IC
• Dying cockroach or something similar x ~21 IC
• Plank with six inches while Gullah gives a 10 count
• Still have a few minutes, so 5 more TGUs (or as many as your knees can take on that asphalt)

COT – thanks, Chanel, for the strong closing prayer, especially when he called us “sisters”

Moleskine:

YHC hadn’t been to Olympus in a few weeks and it was great to see some new faces (at least new to YHC). Gullah and Ickey Shuffle are doing a great job promoting the site. 12 PAX on a cold morning is impressive. YHC isn’t the most creative Q, so I borrowed heavily from some beatdowns YHC had attended recently. Everyone was pushing hard out there and YHC was honored to lead the PAX on a beautiful, chilly morning. I’m sure I missed some mumblechatter, so feel free to chime in below.
