Date: 2023-12-23 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski , flipper PAX: voodoo, MARTA, Wabbit, The Worm, Emoji, mighty_mite, Mountain Momma FNGs: None COUNT: 9 Undeterred by rational thought, the pax descended upon the frosty blacktop this morning with breathless anticipation. Eager to deliver the promised 100 snatches, YHC felt like perhaps a thinner version of ol’ St. Nick. Swing by over head swing, the pax crushed the weinke in holiday style. And yes, while ripping off 100+ snatches in under 30 minutes probably went down as well as stale fruitcake, a Christmas miracle was in store! Flipper led the men of The Rock in a surprise convergence where we lifted heavy things and ran with Frank until we were up to our eyes in Christmas cheer (and up to our ears in a unique Ska Christmas playlist)! Good times were had by most and ending with a COT with eggnog and bourbon certainly never hurt. Let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: 15x swings, prying squats, 15x swings, synovial circles THE THANG: 1) Complex A (6 sets) – Lawnmowers (6x e/s) – 3x/2x/1x alternating snatches 2) Complex B (2 sets) – Rack squat + snatches (5x of each) – Goblet squat + snatches (5x of each) – Transformer squat + snatches (5x of each) – Overhead squat + snatches (5x of each) 3) Complex C – Deadlift (10x) / Merkin (2x) / Snatches (5x) – Deadlift (8x) / Merkin (4x) / Snatches (5x) – At this point, the pax of The Rock were slowly descending upon us so we quickly pivoted to a lightning fast 15x snatches to round out the 100 (and then some) before the surprise convergence 4) Mini-Stuckey’s w/ The Rock MARY: Flipper led us in some canoe-themed core work as well as the ol’ flutebridge ANNOUNCEMENTS: – MARTA is ahead of the game for 2024 and 4 drives are on the books with the first drive coming up in January – see pre-blast for details – YHC will be out next week so this is his last Q of 2023. Flipper graciously will carry the pax next week. It’s been a great year and YHC is looking forward to lifting bells, bags, and other such heavy items in the new year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! COT: – Flipper took us all out in the COT and huddle
