Full Court, Panini, and French
Date: 2025-07-12 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: MARTA, Wabbit, voodoo, Toto, Emoji FNGs: None COUNT: 6 Sometimes on these cool summer mornings there are small moments where you get clarity. Things finally click. Everything falls into place. For several weeks now, YHC has been racking his brain trying to understand why the spreadsheet architect would punish the pax with triple-digits of total presses week in and week out. Today, for example, the pax did 200 collective presses. What kind of monster would orchestrate that?
During the final hours of the kettlebell shirt pre-order this morning, it finally all made sense. High Tide wanted everyone’s deltoids to go under such extreme hypertrophy that every man would need to order a new sleeveless shirt and we’d meet the order quantity minimum. Literally no other explanation makes sense. Well, High Tide, ya got YHC – order submitted and we’re only two away from hitting the minimum…everyone throw in an order so we can stop this madness.
On paper, today’s beatdown was pretty straightforward – copious snatches and presses with some nonsensical musings and carries thrown in to finish it. The radiating soreness of YHC’s arms suggests a different story, but no pain, no gain. Thanks to the pax for posting this morning and choosing to get better. Also, thanks for suffering through the crummy beach-adjacent soundtrack. YHC is going back to the lab this week to generate something better for next week’s beatdown. Ok, enough preamble, 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) Boatload of Snatches EMOM (16 min.) – Snatches (5x); switch sides every minute 2) Boatload of Double Presses (5 sets) – Double presses (2x) – Double presses (3x) – Double presses (5x) – Double presses (10x) 3) Modified Flynncinerator Complex (3 sets) – Double swings (10x); double front squat (10x); double bent-over rows (10x); merkins (10x) – Subtract 4x from each exercise each set 4) Carries! – Single bell racked, waiter, backwards, and forwards… MARY: No, sir – not on this fine day ANNOUNCEMENTS: – :horse: Horsey half marathon and ruck is on 8/2 (see Slack for details) – :camping: F3 Dad Camp @ Lake Wylie from 8/15-8/17 (see Slack for details) – :drop_of_blood:Blood drive…coming in the fall – :kettlebell:+ :shirt: Order your KB shirts by tomorrow (7/13): f3gear.com/products/f3-area-51-kettlebell-reorder-pre-order-july-2025 COT: Joined up with the men of the Rock for a joint COT and a delightful boyband pic courtesy of Emoji’s selfie-stick…who knows maybe Toto’s ingenuity will enhance our next group pic? Gotta show to know…or just, ya know. wait for it on Slack.
Call your mom and smile more.
