Who Knew There Were Downsides to Being Friends with a Billionaire?

Date: 2025-03-08 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: voodoo, Mountain Momma, Cottonmouth, Omaha FNGs: None COUNT: 5 Upon the backdrop of near ideal conditions, five pax chose to do hard things this morning by lifting heavy metallic spheres. While Joe Daniels has been on an absolute EMOM tear as of late, this week’s edition of the :rainbow: left more than a few pax sore (should be a fun morning tomorrow!) Finishing with OH holds is a great way to absolutely smoke your arms. Nevertheless, great to see Voodoo, Omaha, and Mountain Momma back in the mix after a few weeks away. Also, awesome that Cottonmouth hasn’t been scared off yet by this Saturday group of pax. Some interesting mumblechatter, as per custom. In particular, to follow up on the above title, apparently, something you don’t think about when you’re friends with a billionaire is when you visit his/her beach compound it might have belonged to a former celebrity. Said differently, Cottonmouth’s 2.0 may have slept in Prince’s bedroom…which is an odd thought to think. In any event, let’s recap today’s action… WARMUP: Swings (10x), prying squats, hi-pulls (5x e/s), synovial circles, swings (10x), slingshots (7x e/w) THE THANG: 1) Pelosi Pyramid 2) EMOM Numero Uno (10 min.) – A: Snatches (5x e/s; ladder up 1x each set to 7x and then down to 5x) – B: Merkins (8x) 3) Lawnmowers (3 sets) – Lawnmower rows (8x e/s) 4) BIG BOY EMOM Numero Dos (20 min.) – Hi-pulls (3x) and thruster (1x); 1x set e/s 5) Yet Another EMOM Number Tres (10 min.) – A: Heavy swings (12x) – B: Anchored leg raises (8x) MARY: OH stability – hold a single bell overhead and switch arms as needed (we did this until 0800 which ended up being 2.5 – 3 mins) ANNOUNCEMENTS: – WTF on April 12th (see Slack for details) – Continued prayers for The Worm and his family – we’re thinking about you, brother – Rumors of a blood drive in April – MARTA to send details (probably at some point) – Although it sounds like Spackles may not send a backblast, it was cool to meet a few FNGs and/or newer guys before the workout this morning. While they ultimately joined in on The Rock’s festivities, there’s always an open invite to post at Olympus. Plus, if you do, you’ll actually get credit for your workout (sorry, MARTA) via backblast… COT: Joined the men of the Rock for a joint COT
