The 80s had the best music



The 80s had the best music

After a solo mission last week, YHC was hopeful to have some company for this week’s edition of Olympus. I had 3 hard commits, so the odds were good. After a double pre-run (gotta hit the 2020 mileage goal), I rolled up to the AO (a minute late) and found Swiss Miss and High Tide in the parking lot. After my Mr. Rogers routine (changing out of running shoes and into lifting shoes, we got started.

Appetizer: SSH, Sharon Towers, Prying Squat

Main Course:

  • Set 1: 25 swings (32), 10 deep merkins on bells, 8 goblet squats (28)
  • Set 2: 25 swings (32), 5 double clean and press (24s)
  • Set 3: 25 swings (32), 10 deep merkins on bells, 8 deadlifts (double 24s) – this is when Frehley’s Comet pulled in, after posting at Stonehenge already
  • Set 4: 25 swings (32), 5 double clean and press (24s)

Repeat 4 times for 400 swings, 80 merkins, 32 goblet squats, 32 deadlifts, 40 clean and press.

Mary: 60 second hard style elbow plank and hollow body hold

COT: Circle up with the RockZero pax

Announcements:

  • Please keep Bout Time and his family in your prayers as his son, Jennings, battles leukemia for the second time. Please see Slack for a sign-up genius if you’re able to help out.
  • Please be mindful of the Governor’s executive order regarding social distancing and masking. While it makes 2nd F more challenging, cases are trending in the wrong direction.

Moleskine:

  • Thanks to the pax for posting and following my lead this morning. I was definitely feeling the swings toward the end, even with the recovery time. Sorry for the recycled weinke, but I was the only one that did it last week, so it was new to you.
  • It was good to have High Tide back out after recovering from something he had tweaked a few weeks ago. It was also good to have Swiss Miss back out there with us this morning. He still posts elsewhere in F3, but it had been a while since we had him join us for some bells. Hopefully he can use some of this workout when posting in Kernersville. Frehley’s continues to impress. Cranking out a ton of swings after completing an hour bootcamp is a solid Saturday morning. Hopefully he got a well-earned nap later in the day.
  • The music today was provided by Van Halen Radio on Spotify. The mix was a bit eclectic, but generally solid. High Tide mentioned that the 80s were still one of the most popular decades of music, which got Frehley’s talking about the spectrum of music that decade included. Swiss Miss also mentioned White Squirrel radio (you can find it on TuneIn radio), where they play old Casey Kasem Top 40 shows – he listened to one from 1970 recently!
