At the end of the rainbow…there’s more rain, apparently

DATE: 2023-04-22 AO: Olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: Pelosi, Emoji, The Worm, mighty_mite, flipper, Toto FNGs: None COUNT: 7 Like weary Italian plumbers strapping into rickety go-karts on Rainbow Road, the pax took to the final week & tab of JD’s colorful spreadsheet with confidence and slight loathing. However, like all good things, this one had to come to an end. After the Worm crushed some quick meteorological calculations to assess the probability of a mid-workout downpour, we settled on roulette style odds and the pax fearlessly put it all on black. We managed to get in the better part of half the workout, when the Worm’s predictions came true and the brief, but intense showers ensued. Deftly taking action, we hurried to the hotbox to round out the workout and put this one in the books. Solid pump all around and good preparation for the upcoming snatch test in May. Let’s get into the recap. WARMUP: 10x swings, prying squats, 10x swings, arm circles, 10x swings THE THANG: (#1) 15min Thruster EMOM – 2x e/s with heavy KB (#2) 8min Row Ladder / Lying Pullover EMOM – 3/2/1 single ladder row e/s and 5x lying KB pullovers each minute (#3) Double Rack Tension Hold – cut short by Mother Nature but got in 3-4 minutes or so (#4) Somersault Squat – regroup in the hotbox for 20x each set for 2 sets (#5) Snatch Test Prep – 6x e/s for 5 sets (#6) Hateful End Complex – one set of clean press then 5x lunges (e/s) with a rack hold, 10 merkins, and 8 goblet squats MARY: Ran out of time, but did 10 slingshots (aka around the worlds) each direction ANNOUNCEMENTS: Waxhaw Trail Fest (5/6) Snatch Test (5/20) Brewruck (5/27) COT: YHC took us out just as the rain abated.
