Pearls For The Gurls

629 – txt from kirby,coming in hot. 629.5 – Eleanor and his son (FNG) pull up. 629.7 – das_boot
Now we got something. Quick disclaimer, lap around the lot waiting for kirby…
WARMUP: Still waiting on kirby. Apparently hot means 5 minutes. SSH, IW, Windmill, Potato Picker THE THANG: Big Loop towards Tamaroon Hill. We alternate 20 Merkins, 20 Squats, 20 LBC every quarter mile or so. Get to the Hill. Run up, continue your rotation exercise. Run down, rotation exercise Run up to the stop sign. Called Exercise.

Run to the bank. 5 burpees Run to the wall for get-ups. Run to the stairs for Reverse Merkins Run to the playground for pullups Run to launch.
Franky starts a sprint. I think he ran a 800m. Fun fact, he was racing Animal (FNG) who runs track in the 400,200 events. I think he saw an old dude giving it everything he had and dialed it back. :trophy:
4 minutes of Mary. starting position is 6 inches. Dont let em drop.
Great day out there. Great to meet Animal who sounds like he will be teaching us a thing or two in Real Estate, Assets, and Stocks!

Tres Amigos vs. Treinta Minutos of AMQRAPs

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

Mario Bros Unite

Date: 2025-05-02 AO: ufo-ultimatefriz Q: Spyglass PAX: Gum Nut, David Baker, Crawdad, Situation, Spyglass, Fruity Pebbles, MARTA, Yeti, Pipes, Shank, Wu Tang is for the children, Steve Hall, Mayo, Biden, Pink Eye, Toad, Peaches, Wario FNGs: 3 Toad, Peaches, Wario COUNT: 18 WARMUP: DIY Stretch (in honor of Slumdog) THE THANG: Pax ascended onto the field a few minutes after start time, as we do. After quick stretch and moment of silence for Slumdog, sides were established and play began. MARTA showed up on time, with his back against the wall and no excuses for late arrivals remaining in his quiver. Pink, definitely not highlighted by Yeti and Friday Shank, took a commanding lead early. @Freshmeat fran some pre-calculus and tried to motivate his team by sharing the number of breaks needed to get back in the game. Fruity Pebbles and David Baker chased after each other a lot, sometimes even with the disc involved. Yellow rallied, per the script, and kept it within striking distance the whole game. Mayo showed up as his doppelgänger, Mayo Light, with a clean shaven face. In the end, pink won, potentially doubling Yeti’s win total for the year. Spikeball brought three great new additions, but reported an injury at 4:40 AM. Injured in his sleep? Conspiracies are bound to fly.
