DMZ?

DATE: 2023-06-05 AO: Dmz Q: Hops PAX: oneeye, Pothole, Knuckles FNGs: None COUNT: 4 Was relatively sure @slumdog had me on the Q schedule. Was slightly more sure DMZ still was a thing. Can’t remember how long ago @skywalker and YHC launched it. Anyway, the 4 of us went about 2 miles, doing some rock work down at Carmel MS and some wall work at New City Church. YHC was poking fun at the disclaimer, and then tripped on a speed bump. Going to sue DMZ…for the beloved shovel flag which is AWOL. Announcements: Area51 vampire @MARTA is assembling victims for Friday, June 23. YHC is HC 🩸

Only thing missing was hookah station

DATE: 2023-06-03 AO: Olympus Q: Pelosi PAX: Krzyzewski, The Worm, MARTA, high_tide, flipper, Emoji FNGs: None COUNT: 7 Oddly memorable Olympus. Started with unanimous vote for Led Zeppelin only playlist. Emoji and Worm due to their sun drenched locations sported shades and HighTide demo’d perfect Turkish Get Ups. Flipper’s oppressive spreadsheet plan was tamed for human consumption. TGUs in sunglasses while listening to Kashmir – not your normal Olympus WARMUP: SSHs, stormtrooper/imperial/knee something. Flailing the arms while Worm explains Synovial fluid from which the conversation quickly degenerated. During this the Rock came inside our circle and gave us a Monkey Humper Rockettes worth show. THE THANG: 3X20 alternating swings which Flipper unconvincingly demonstrated as being distinct from switching hands swings. C&P 3X6 each side, 5 X 10 Swing Squats. Sandbag shenanigans with clean and press, counter levitating twirl step backs with a twist, while some of us did TGUs, sandbag carries, then some brutal complex sets 10XSwings, Goblet squats, Goblet presses and Merkins (which I can’t pronounce) Ended with High Tide coaching us thru perfect TGU form for the Pax after which we practiced a few reps. MARY: Bridges ANNOUNCEMENTS: Hoover looking to bequeath Rock Site Q to the next generation. Thank you Hoover for 5 years! Blood drive COT: W/the Rock. Hoover with some inspiring words.

Hosed

MARY: there was some ANNOUNCEMENTS: blood drive, and Hoover is retiring from site Q at The Rock. Applications are now being accepted for the hottest AO (in the summer) on Saturdays COT: Hoover with the take out

Hose before Bros

DATE: 2023-06-03 AO: -Rock Q: poptart PAX: O Tannenbaum, hoover, Daffer, Reboot, rachel, Cottonmouth, Mr. Magoo, Limey FNGs: None COUNT: 9
WARMUP: THE THANG: Drag a hose, carry a rock, workout the guns and throw in 3.5+ miles. MARY: ANNOUNCEMENTS: COT: We finally found a way to slow Rachel down. He is not quite as fast with a 50 lb hose over his shoulder. Of course, without the hose he killed the workout, followed by Cotton and Magoo. As expected, Hoover was still confused about the rock size even though I said a curling rock. O’T was wearing one of his daughter’s halter tops to show off his belly button during the Warmup. Limey brought the methane right on queue and I think Daffer and Reboot are excited to borrow my firehoses in the near future.

I think we need a bigger speaker…

Wingman’s M wws sighted but no Wingman

DATE: 2023-06-02 AO: -Brave Q: fire_hazard PAX: Olaf, Odd Job, Rousey, Eleanor FNGs: None COUNT: 5 WARMUP: Run to the apartment complex down Ballantyne commons for some SSH, Merkins, and Windmills. THE THANG: We went in to Wingman and Market Timer’s hood hoping to find them since they must be lost on their .25 mile journey to attend the Brave.
We ran up and down culdesacs all morning. We did some triple nickel like rounds (with a little modification. First we went to Wingmans hilly ass road for a triple nickel of Burpees at the bottom (5) Heels to the Heaven at the top (5) for 5 rounds We then saw Wingman’s M who told us he was the only one still sleeping in the house. She invited us to go knock on the door, but the fear of seeing Wingman in his Tidy Whiteys made us all cringe.
We did three more rounds with 5 merkins and 50 SSH 5 times at another hilly culdesac. Then to another Hilly Culdesac or 5 squats and 20 shoulder taps 5 times. Then yet another culdesac for 5 Sister Mary Katherines and 20 LBCs. Then on the way home we Hit Market timers hilly culdesac on time with 10 burpees at the bottom. Down to the red light at community house and ballantyne commons (safety first) to cross. Monkey humpers for an extraordinarily long light then back home one minute late. MARY: No time we push for the hole hour at the Brave ANNOUNCEMENTS: Panera COT: Be thankful for all you have and just remember no matter how bad your day is you have already made yourself better today.
