Kettlebells of America

Date: 2025-08-09 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: flipper, Toto FNGs: None COUNT: 3 Like YHC’s late-grandmother’s cooking, the weinke today was dry, tough, and devoid of any spice. Effectively back-to-back ~18 EMOMs of snatches and double presses left a bit to be desired in terms of variety. However, what we lacked in diverse movements, we more than made up for in sheer repetition of upper body punishment. Traps and deltoids will be buzzing tomorrow morning for sure. Flipper and Toto brought the mumblechatter to help fuel us through the monotony. Also, Toto brought a fan and some sort of breakfast biscuits, but that’s a different story for a different day. As always, YHC appreciates everyone who posts as we kick off the weekend right. 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) Batches of Snatches EMOM (18 min.) – Single-bell snatch (5x – on one side) 2) Barrage of Double Presses (6 sets…woof) – Double presses (2x) – Double presses (3x) – Double presses (5x) 3) Squat Thang (2 sets) – Transformer (5x) – Single-handed swing (5x) – Front squats (5x) – Repeato other arm MARY: “Carry Mary” with a single bell and then a glutebridge thrown in for good measure ANNOUNCEMENTS: – :saluting_face: Newly-minted Nantan, Hoover, is looking for volunteers for his new regime…reach out on Slack if you have any interest – :camping: F3 Dad Camp @ Lake Wylie from 8/15-8/17 (see Slack for details) – :drop_of_blood: Next Blood Drive (10/3) (details shall be forthcoming) – :pray: Continually sending prayers to The Worm and his family as he navigates next steps in his recovery – :skull_and_crossbones: Memento mori…also your periodic reminder to smile more COT: Hoover took out the pax from both groups in the COT
