End of an Era

Date: 2025-08-30 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: Mountain Momma, voodoo, MARTA, taggart FNGs: None COUNT: 5 The weather…fantastic. The playlist…forgettable. The weinke…absolute grind. With this backdrop, five pax chose discomfort this morning as we vanquished the latest spreadsheet. The ABC program has been an exercise in stamina across relentless reps covering our meat and potatoes moves. While YHC isn’t exactly sad it’s over, he will miss the acute focus on deltoid development. Weinkes of the past have definitely targeted shoulders, but not many had a greater than one double press per minute of workout ratio. Intense. Mumblechatter today was strong and free flowing as usual. The kickoff of college football always provides ample topics, but things took an interesting turn when we covered the merits of cheese. In one tangent, t-claps to Mountain Momma for offering up the most creative ‘death row’ last meal YHC has ever heard…basically an entire block of cheese and a loaf of bread, which when paired with an electric chair would turn you into a human-sized mozzarella stick. Equal parts delicious and disgusting. With that, 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) Modified ABC Complex EMOM (20 min.) · Double cleans (2x) · Double front squats (3x) 2) Sorta Fibonacci Sequence of Double Presses (7 sets) · 2x / 3x / 5x of double presses each set 3) Double Carries! · Several rounds of up and back to the side curb with double bells – we worked in waiters, racks, and shrugs for good measure MARY: One round of a glutebridge, which took us to 60 mins. on the dot ANNOUNCEMENTS: – :briefcase: Labor Day Convergence (9/1) See Slack for details…there should be a gear option for those so inclined – :us: 9/11 Memorial Workout (9/6) 2,200 steps at Piedmont High School in Union Co.
