Swingin’ in the Rain…Happy Again

Date: 2024-03-23 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: mighty_mite, ickey_shuffle, Wabbit, MARTA, flipper, The Worm FNGs: None COUNT: 7 Undeterred by the literal gloom, seven pax descended upon the Hot Box for a sneakily brutal workout. Though the weinke looks innocent enough, the sheer repetition wore down even the greatest of grip strength. Nevertheless, the pax powered through aided by solid mumblechatter and a somewhat irreverent playlist. In YHC’s defense, we weren’t THAT close to the church, especially considering the walls surrounding the aforementioned Hot Box. Mumblechatter ranged across topics including the plight of SEC basketball to the oddity of commercials for today’s youth. Great to see a good group out this AM. Let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: 10x swings, prying squats, 5x one-handed swings (e/s), synovial circles, 7x slingshots (e/w) THE THANG: 1) Presses! (10 sets) – Single presses (5x e/s) 2) Swings! (26 min EMOM) – 1-handed swings (10x) 3) Carries! (4 sets) – Farmer’s carries w/ heavy bells (90 sec); 0800 came around right at the ~60 sec mark of the last set, but the farmer’s carries back to the car post-workout rounded out the set in YHC’s opinion MARY: Not today! ANNOUNCEMENTS: – WTF coming up on 4/20 – Likely others have heard this, but learned this week that in a snow storm bison will actually turn into the direction of the storm as they know this will hasten the discomfort and get them through it more quickly. Cattle, on the other hand, turn away and huddle together. So this week, either you face your problems head on and do what needs to be done or avoid them, hope they go away, and prolong the pain. Bison or cow…your choice. – Massive t-claps to Ickey for making YHC aware that this gem of cinematography exists on this planet we call Earth. This might be the single best thing YHC has seen on the Internet in the past month, easily.
