Power Tiwin Couple- Ace and Gary
Date: 2024-07-22 AO: chubby-hubby Q: Cheese Curd PAX: turkey_leg FNGs: None COUNT: 2
WARMUP: run to McHorsey THE THANG: find hills and run them MARY: nope ANNOUNCEMENTS: BroOlympics Sat/ waxhaw COT: this was hoover idea and he pulled the ripcord at 4:45. A quick text to turkey_leg and he confirmed he was in, just needed more time. So the 5:15 start with Hoover was a 5:30 start with TL and YHC. He’s coming back from a wicked cold, I am super slow, so together we were a super couple that could not be beat! Where is the rest of the Chubby Hubbies??

Very relaxed rat snake and lots of laughs
Date: 2024-07-20 AO: davinci Q: Odd Job PAX: C3P0, Franky, kirby FNGs: None COUNT: 4 WARMUP: SSH, IW, windmills, runner stretch, merkins, down dog
THE THANG: A few miles of running, lots of jump rope, a pile of PAX called exercises, hill runs, and some stuff with cinder blocks. Somehow I think we got more benefit from the laughter and fellowship than the beat down. We learned about the various uses of eggplant in France, that one can be injured eating ribs, a special exercise machine featured in Futurama, and that several of us dated Hippie’s “attractive nuisance” in high school. The real highlight though was Franky’s incredible new jump rope technic, which we are dubbing the Hobby Horse. Ask him to show you.
MARY: Flutter, LBC, big boy, ++
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Brolympics and date night one week from today. Mark your calendars.

Half Dozen for a Cloudy Beatdown
Date: 2024-07-20 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: high_tide, Wabbit, Emoji, Mountain Momma, beaver FNGs: None COUNT: 6 Phenomenal morning for a good pump. Though we’re squarely in the doldrums, the weather cooperated today with a ‘cooler’ morning and generous cloud cover to aid six pax as we navigated the penultimate week of the rainbow spreadsheet. Solid mumblechatter today ranging from ailment recovery, the lesser known Senior Olympics, and preferences for hot and cold (and why Chicago winters nuke any arguments for cold). Great to have Beaver join us and hope he’ll continue to explore the world of gear workouts. Let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: 10x swings, prying squats, 5x hi-pulls (e/s), synovial circles, slingshots (7 e/w) THE THANG: 1) First EMOM of the Day (12 min.) – A: Single heavy swings (10x) – B: Double strict press (3x) 2) Snatch/Lunge Festival of Pain (5 sets) – Snatch -> reverse lunge (5x e/s) 3) EMOM Dos (12 min.) – A: Shrugs (12x) – B: Squat hops (8x) – C: Tate presses (6x) 4) KY Burpees EMOM (4 min.) – Renegade row (1x e/s) – Double clean & rack squat – Repeat 5) Curly Merkins (2 sets) – Hammer-grip KB curls (15x) – Close-grip merkins (10x) 6) Last Minute Carries – Farmer carries down (tree-and-a-half) – Farmer carries back MARY: No Mary for the lads today ANNOUNCEMENTS: – Not much on the docket, but Brolympics is on the horizon next Saturday (7/27): f3southcharlotte.com/2024/06/14/brolympics-return-for-2024/ – Prayers for our brothers traveling near and far, for those who haven’t posted in awhile, and for those fighting silent battles. You’re not alone – Speaking of travel, the Worm’s triumphant return is nigh – safe travels back across the pond – Memento mori COT: YHC took out the joint Rock and Olympus crews
modified OKI
Date: 2024-07-20 AO: chicken-run Q: Kielbasa PAX: Kielbasa, bratwurst, toolbag, Doublemint, das_boot, Nordberg FNGs: None COUNT: 6 Kielbasa started early, but looped back to get the group started on the right track.
Modified course – connect.garmin.com/modern/course/289645314
A cooler morning than recent, but still humid. Decent weather.
Kielbasa led Nordberg and Bratwurst through a couple of miles before heading to COT.
Nordberg and Bratwurst continued to regroup with all PAX until the halfway point. Then Nordberg kept putting the hammer down little by little. Fortunately took it easier, but the spit never stops. No Hawk tua, just spittle.
Solid duo of Das Boot and Double mint, who also regrouped with Toolbag until Toolbag told them to head on.
COT with the laughing quartet of Davinci, and some nice chicken and coffee after to round out the morning.

Remedial Math 101 Lesson. 1+1=3?
Date: 2024-07-20 AO: the-rock Q: poptart PAX: hoover, geraldo, Snuka, Mr. Magoo, ductwork, mallcop, Oscar FNGs: None COUNT: 8 After some old man warm up stretches, we headed to the fan favorite 5 Knolls. Five hand release merkins at each driveway on the way. I counted 11 driveways, but my math ain’t so good. Triple nickel with five burpees and five lunges at the top of 5 Knolls. A round of core exercises with each pax calling an exercise for a time killer. Alternating driveways with five hand release merkins and 20 LBCs on the way back. Burnouts back at church with military count- 10 dips, 10 incline pushups, down to 1 each. At least I think it was 10, or was it 20? Thanks for the takeout Coach K.

This pyramid was deceptively hard, kudos to Cheese Curd ToeJam for crushing it. Nice to see snowflake out with us this morning, and thx to wildturkey for the etymology lesson on “Tantalize”. lex_luthor was steady as ever MARY: 1/2 mile SB mosey back to start Campfire Mary with each PAX calling an exercise, we got Hip raises into sit-ups, leg circles, LBCs, flutters, & ABCs before the bell… In hindsight the recommended 30 count by YHC was a bit much… ANNOUNCEMENTS: July 27 BROlympics and OMB date night COT: Thanks for the morning, the fellowship, and strength for those that need it.

Cape Fear Welcome
Date: 2024-07-19 AO: kevlar Q: poptart PAX: Orange Whip, O’Tannenbaum, Scratch and Win, Buddy the Elf FNGs: None COUNT: 5 We got started late as we were caught up in the story of OT’s travels. After the warm up we got about 100 hand release merkins followed by some stairs, ab and leg work. Then we moved on to hills followed by some rock work. Welcome Buddy the Elf from the Cape Fear region. We enjoyed listening to his story of flying in a prop plane as the pilot flew without his hands. Good news is prop planes are lighter, and can fly with only one engine. Not sure how that makes things better.
