Imposter Syndrome
Date: 2025-11-08 AO: olympus Q: flipper PAX: Toto, Emoji, high_tide, hoover, ickey_shuffle, voodoo, The Worm, Mountain Momma, Loogie, flipper FNGs: None COUNT: 10 Look, we all know who Olympus belongs to, the master of prosaic prose and whimsical preblasts, the one and only Krzyzewski. Consistent as death and taxes, he of the questionable collegiate allegiances leads the PAX week in and week out through the valley of monsterous beatdowns and into the promised land of stupendous gainz. So when the tarry footed one had to miss not one, but TWO saturdays in a row, he reached into the bottom of the barrel and selected YHC to fill his Carolina blue shoes… forgetting this Duke fan gave him his name. That’s neither here nor there however, as the PAX rolled in deep this morning and all 10 of us (including our very own kotters Loogie, arriving early with his worminess) slayed the wolf and other sundries. So let’s get into the recap:
WARMUP: SSH, IW, LSS, ST, Arm circles and scarecrows, swings and cleans THE THANG:
Easing into it with an easy complex of snatch, squat press and cleans
THE WOLF: the order this week was snatch, squat, press, squat, clean, squat. All doubles and five of each. We did the first set as a complex. The second was a chain, the third was chain 1 rep, then complex for 3, then chain for the last rep, making 5 total of each. Somehow the third set was the easiest for YHC, but other PAX disagreed. Moving on to…
CIRCLE of DOOM: 1 pair each of 28 kg and 32 kg placed in the center of the circle. Two PAX completed deadlifts to failure while the other 8 performed a called exercise until the second of the center PAX quit. Rotate to the next pair and resume. We went full rotation twice, the circle proceeding from two hand swings, to switch hand, to Belkins, to snatches, to double cleans, to Belkins. The Pax loved that one
For carries we did waiters w/ goblet squats, racks with upright rows, suitcases with shrugs.
50 swings unbroken (or best you could do but get to 50).
MARY: boat canoe, flute bridge, plankorama ANNOUNCEMENTS: can ruck, Ales for ALS, Debbie’s Christmas party, festivus COT: YHC took us out in a combined circle with TheRock
Postscript- YHC’s grip hurts writing this, I hope the PAX attending today’s workout are not crippled for the entire weekend… kinda
