The Ultimate Penultimate

Date: 2024-02-17 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: MARTA, Wabbit, The Worm, mighty_mite FNGs: None COUNT: 5 Five pax strong battled through a mostly meat and potatoes workout this morning to finish off Week 7 of our latest journey. Mumblechatter made the rounds covering Farm Haus sausages, other and sundry smoked meats, why you don’t want to own a mansion in Gilbert, AZ, and a coming of age tale for YHC at a ZZ Top concert in high school. A change of pace mostly-southern rock playlist guided our journey and the pax put this week in the books as we gear up for the final week of hypertrophy. Let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: 10x swings, prying squats, 5x high-pulls (e/s), synovial circles, 5x one-handed swings (e/s), slingshots (10x e/w) THE THANG: 1) Fibonacci A – Lawnmowers 3x/5x/8x for four sets (e/s) – Goblet squats 3x/5x/8x for four sets 2) Fib. B – Heavy swings 3x/5x/8x for four sets – Explosive merkins 3x/5x/8x for four sets 3) Carries – Single-Bell Rack (20 paces / 30 / 50 alternating) (2 sets) – Single-Bell Waiter (20 paces / 20 / 50) (2 sets) MARY: Mary by committee today with a roulette of exercises called out by the pax ANNOUNCEMENTS: – 3/8 – oddly enough, another blood drive is already here – 3/9 – Madison’s 2.0 partnered with the Jamie Kimble Foundation for Courage for a 5K – give it a look – Mathew 5:5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” This is your periodic reminder that the Greek word for meek “πραΰς” is difficult to translate and argued by some scholars to mean something more like “demonstrating power without undue harshness.” In other words, blessed are those who have swords, but keep them sheathed, for they will inherit the earth. Our community needs more strong men indeed, but even more so, strong men who can control their strength. Be this man this week.
