ABCs of a Gear Beatdown

Date: 2025-01-25 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: MARTA, voodoo, The Worm, taggart FNGs: None COUNT: 5 The gloom was as advertised this morning – bleak and cold. Until about 6:59am, YHC thought this was going to be a solo Q adventure. However, like some sort of deus ex machina plot device, the pax began to descend upon our hallowed pavement. The Worm came from the South. MARTA and Voodoo from the North. And Taggart just plain came in hot.
As Unplugged crushed his swing goals early, YHC modified the weinke, but overall it was a fairly swing-heavy pump to close out this first month of 2025. Mumblechatter ranged from highly educational talks of reservoir engineering to how we’re converting SACS pax into gear heads to hidden treasures at Food Lion. Overall, great way to stay warm. Let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: Swings (10x), prying squats, swings (10x), synovial circles, swings (10x), slingshots (7x e/w) THE THANG: 1) Pelosi Ladder 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: Repeato B – E: Repeato A 3) Parking Heavy Bells (2 sets) – Swing – L; hi-pull – L; park bell (5x) – Swing – R; hi-pull – R; park bell (5x) – Two-handed swing; two-handed hi-pull; park bell (5x) 4) 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) 5) Voodoo / Hoodoo Confusion Complex (2 sets) – Voodoo complex (1x e/s) – Hoodoo complex (1x e/s) 6) Humane Complex (5 sets) – Swings (11x); goblet squat (10x); merkin (1x) – Drop 2x squats and add 2x merkins each set 7) Carries!

Might be sold out, but also might return – such mystery!) – Prayers for our brothers, who did not post, who are suffering silently, or who need encouragement – you are not alone – T-claps to Voodoo for guessing the dumb playlist theme this week! Rest assured, YHC is hard at work dreaming up subsequent stupidity involving mostly rock songs from the days of yore. Who knows when the all P. Diddy playlist will drop? COT: Joined the pax of the Rock and Orange Whip closed out the joint groups in prayer
