Date: 2026-02-28 AO: Olympus Q: Blanks , PAX: beaver, Blanks, ickey_shuffle, hoover, The Worm, flipper, Toto FNGs: None COUNT: 7 WARMUP: Stretching and chatter. YHC was busy getting the stage set, but from the mumblechatter I gathered that ickey_shuffle is not an EDM guy. Noted.
Today’s workout was bookended by a pair of 60+ year-olds — and that’s how you know it’s going to be legit. The Worm continues to be a staple at Olympus. Mother Nature herself has yet to keep him away. And 12-year vet beaver rolled in, trading miles at The Rock for 0.0 and cold steel in his hands. T-claps to both of you, gentlemen.
Security for Calvary showed up right before launch and respectfully asked that we return the tables after using the hotbox. hoover stepped up immediately, gave them his info, and handled it like a pro. Leadership matters — glad we had it on display.
THE THANG: Dolphinius Maximus – Week 3, Day 3. Heavy.
Block A – EMOM (20 min) 4 reps each: Clean, Press, Squat, Snatch. flipper pointed out that we may have stunted our growth by not fully returning to baseline before each set. Valid. Maybe next time we double the rest — that would certainly make Toto smile. Regardless… we finished the full 20 minutes.
Block B – Rotational Conditioning Kneeling Halos Controlled Rotations Cross-body shovel things (technical term)
Block C – Static Holds Suitcase Rack Overhead All ONE-LEGGED.
YHC was impressed — every man held 30 seconds across the board. Strong work.
The boot campers from The Rock rolled in right as we were grinding through Block D — the heaviest segment of the morning. For the record, the #1 song on the Billboard Top 100 (2025 edition) is not what you’d call motivational. Audible called. We pivoted to Thunderstruck by AC/DC and brought it home the right way.
Cold steel. Strong men. Leadership. Audibles.
Just another Saturday at Olympus.
MARY: Nope!! ANNOUNCEMENTS: Brew Ruck, Pepsi challenge COT: Focker brought us in and O’Tannenbaum took us out!
