So That’s Why We Don’t Start with Carries…

Date: 2024-12-28 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: Floyd, Mountain Momma, bratwurst FNGs: None COUNT: 4 In what YHC would describe as a top-tier fartsack kind of day (i.e., cold, rainy, immediately following a gut-bomb holiday), four pax chose to get better this morning. The precipitation forecast was nebulous to say the least, so the pax instinctively gathered at the hot box for today’s beatdown. With what seemed like a small window of clear weather, YHC called an audible and started with long-range farmer’s carries with uncertainty looming in the back half of the 0700 hour. This turned out to be a terrible choice. Basically, we smoked our grips out of the gates. Nevertheless, the pax persevered as we took on the zany weinke. Solid mumblechatter kept us going in the gloom. Great to see Floyd continue to refine his technique. Mountain Momma threw down some mobility knowledge (and pre-workout taught YHC to correct way to pronounce braciole). Awesome to have Bratwurst join us as he recovers from some lower leg ailments. Overall, great way to kickoff the weekend between holidays. Let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: Swings (10x), prying squats, hi-pulls (5x e/s), synovial circles, slingshots (7x e/w) THE THANG: 1) Carries – Long-distance farmer’s (4 sets) 2) “Brutes” & Ladders (1 set) – A: Clean – L (3x); clean – R (3x); clean – L (2x); clean – R (2x); clean – L (1x); clean – R (1x) – B: Replace ‘clean’ in A with ‘clean & press’ – C: Replace ‘clean & press’ in B with ‘thruster’ – D: Repeat B – E: Repeat A 3) 20/10 EMOM (Pax choice on how to breakup each element) – A: Swings (20x) – B1: SLDL (10x) – B2: Lawnmower row (10x) – B3: Snatch (10x) – B4: Bent over row (10x) – B5: Sumo squat (10x) 4) OH Tension (1 set; this was horrible, so you know YHC is going to want to do this again sometime) – Snatches (5x); OH rev lunge (5x); OH squat (5x); windmill (1x) (1x through e/s) 5) Humane Complex – “Elevens” Edition – Swings (11x); goblet squat (10x); merkin (1x) – Drop 1x squat and add 1x merkin each set MARY: Ran out of time, but lugging gear back to the parking lot post-hotbox workout always counts for something ANNOUNCEMENTS: – Continued prayers for The Worm for recovery, energy, and patience – F3 State of the Nation coming on 1/14 at 8pm – Rumors of a New Year’s convergence – check Slack for details – While browsing the mumblechatter channel for any other announcements, YHC just saw that Bratwurst has done over 200 F3 workouts this year…that’s awesome, man – hope to see you back at Olympus soon COT: YHC took out the small crew. The pax of the Rock did join us mid-workout, but thankfully monkey humpers weren’t on the menu
