The Rabble Rouser’s Secrets to Success
Date: 2025-04-12 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: high_tide, flipper, Wabbit, Emoji, Toto FNGs: None COUNT: 6 Love. Justice. Honor.
A list of things that limp along in the race to stir emotions. As anyone who has spent any amount of time on social media knows, the real way to ignite a crowd is through division and hatred. It was under this guise that YHC pulled together today’s beatdown. However, like the ‘best laid plans’, that which you’d think would sow the seeds of discord does not always work the way you’d think it would (honestly, did no one pick up on the fact that every other song today was by Green Day?). Alas, while trying to rally the pax around the common enemy of squats, we ended up fighting about the best way to do calf raises!? Mind boggling. Nevertheless, the pax seemed to appreciate the moderate tempo of today’s pump and mumblechatter made its usual rounds…although the number of “that’s what she said” jokes probably would have made even Michael Scott blush. Despite this, YHC appreciates each and every one of the pax who comes to post for Olympus…if for no other reason than misery loves company. Let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: Swings (10x), prying squats, swings (10x), synovial circles, swings (10x), slingshots (7x e/w) THE THANG: 1) Heavy, Dead, Row Complex (5 sets) – Heavy swings (5x) – Deadlift -> upright row (5x) 2) Pelosi Ladder 3) EMOM II (12 min.) – A: Thrusters (3x e/s) – B: Swing squats (10x) – C: Snatches (3x e/s) 4) Why Bad Racks are Like Bad Pizza Complex (3 sets) – Racked reverse lunge (5x e/s) – Racked front squat (5x e/s) 5) Same as #4, but Overhead! (1 set) – OH reverse lunge (5x e/s) – OH squat (5x e/s) 6) Calf Raises! (2 sets) – Racked (or suitcase or…just whatever) calf raises (20x) MARY: – Chest press (10x) – Anchored leg raises (10x) – KB pullovers (10x) – Glutebridge! (45 sec.) ANNOUNCEMENTS: – Blood drive in June :drop_of_blood: – Check Slack for details on other things that might be happening – Continued prayers for the Worm and his family COT: – Joined the men of the Rock for COT and OT took out the join groups
