Date: 2025-05-03 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: MARTA, Emoji FNGs: None COUNT: 3 A slight chill and partly cloudy skies greeted the pax for another installment of the go-at-your-own-pace beatdown this morning. Despite an expertly timed playlist that came out swinging (looking at you, Creed) and kept the momentum going with some Led Zeppelin heaters, only a duo of pax dared to take on this beast with YHC. Much appreciation to Emoji and MARTA for posting today – great seeing you both and looking forward to seeing the usual suspects next week once folks are back from DR. Despite the smaller crew, mumblechatter was plentiful and helped pass the time between reps. MARTA dropped some engineering knowledge on gear-head terminology (maybe it should be called an inverted pyramid?) and Emoji passed along some hot travel tips, including the perfect way to infiltrate a hotel’s wifi network. Overall, we embraced the suck, got better, and persevered. Let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: Swings (10x), prying squats, hi-pulls (5x e/s), synovial circles, one-handed swings (5x e/s), slingshots (7x e/w) THE THANG: 1) AMQRAP #1 (15 min.) – 1-handed swings (4x) – Snatches (4x) – Thrusters (4x) 2) Pelosi Pyramid (…or was it inverted?) 3) AMQRAP #2 (15 min.) (Note this one was much better than #1) – Cleans (5x) – Rows (5x) – Merkins (5x – we made this substitution to get more swole) – Switch hands to repeat above 4) Pelosi Ladder 5) Carries! Carries! Carries! – Double bells w/ shrugs, racks, waiters, oh my! 6) Two-Minute Drill EMOM – A: SLDL (5x e/s) – B: Goblets (10x; horrible, but great finisher) MARY: Mosey over to the COT w/ The Rock ANNOUNCEMENTS: – Brew Ruck on 5/24 – see the Slack channel for details – Blood drive on 6/4 – mark your calendars! – Prayers for all concerns unsaid – don’t suffer alone, brothers COT: Joined the men of The Rock for join COT
