2/5/25
Date: 2025-02-05 AO: sacs Q: Starch PAX: Cheese Curd, wildturkey, Roulette, geraldo, Frosty FNGs: None COUNT: 6 On 2/5/25, I decided to plan a workout that used the numbers in the date in my infinite creativity. So after planning for 2 warm-up laps and 5 sets of exercises with 25 reps, YHC felt that this was a sufficiently terrible idea.
Even with all the griping, you’re welcome for not going with the 200 sandbag burpee plan this time.
WARMUP: 2 laps around the track Imperial walkers Runners stretch
THE THANG: 5 sets, 25 reps (did a lap after the 2nd, 4th, and 5th sets) – Squats – OH press – Lunges (total) – Chest press flutters
MARY: Weighted wall sits and planks until time ran out
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Fort Bragg GoRuck Basic Spartan Race Waxhaw Trail Fest
COT: Prayers for Buttermaker and his family. Prayers for all the pax who are struggling, and may we be unabashed and persistent as we reach out and support those who are going through it
About time we saw Cheese Curd back out in the gloom. Glad things are looking up – you’ve been missed
Great to see Frosty out there putting in the work back-to-back weeks. We’re glad you’re out there with us
geraldo had something to say about the music and kept insisting that the workout was going to have more laps…. But always awesome to have you out there, especially as we prep for the Bragg GoRuck Basic
Roulette came in HOT (I’m talking faster than Rousey). His attitude was spicy, and he couldn’t wait to get right down to the work
wildturkey was out there thoroughly enjoying himself, and he made sure the Q knew it. Strong work this morning, as always
