Cleanup on aisle 7

DATE: 2023-05-22 AO: Base-Camp Q: hoover PAX: Mr. Magoo, thunder_road, snuka, Limey FNGs: None COUNT: 5 5 strong dudes showed up to SCMS for an advertised Hoover beatdown. The Q disclaimed the group, then Thunder Road disclaimed the group. YHC’s disclaimer was the usual, “don’t make bad decisions and you probably won’t get hurt” His disclaimer was “I ate brisket and baked beans for dinner last night.” Now you know why a cleanup was called.
WARMUP: Mosey to the track. Descending burpee ladder, with IW, merkins, Low Slow Squats, Sharon Towers, and some Mary. Run 100M between each burpee set. Blood flowing, it’s time for the main event.
THE THANG: At Semi’s office, do the Mary trifecta: Heels to Heaven, flutter, boone crunch (both sides) 10 reps of each.
At some point, Thunder Road’s disclaimer came back to haunt him or maybe it was his dinner decisions coming back to haunt him. Either way. we’re sending a crew to powerwash and disinfect the area outside of Semi’s office.
Head to the baseball diamonds check out the concession stand for any leftover hot dogs or italian ice and do 7’s with merkins and jump squats. back to the office space for the mary trifecta upping the rep count to 15. Head to the benches in the parking lot for called partner work with dips, derkins, LBHs, and pistol squats while partners take a lap around the parking lot. The pax then took 3 minutes out of their workout to pick up some litter. Back to the office for the Mary trifecta, this time up the count to 20. Plank for the last 45 seconds.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: We’re working on something for Memorial Day, Monday.
BrewRuck is this Saturday, talk to Hoover for your HC
COT: Thunder Road took us out.
Solid crew today. Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

DATE: 2023-05-22 AO: Swole Q: turkey_leg PAX: flipper, The Worm, voodoo, turkey_leg, Houdini FNGs: None COUNT: 5 WARMUP: Swings, Romanian deadlifts, halos, arm circles, prying squats, and The Worm’s favorite: SSH

First Swole for Houdini today posting all the way from Waxhaw. Welcome and thanks for making the trek – hope to see you back and at other KB workouts soon. Spreadsheet originally called for 3 merkin monster reps each minute – a bit aggressive if you ask me. Luckily the spreadsheet author realized this quite fast with his request for mercy after the first round. Smart audible.
Solid work today by all.

Library Times

DATE: 2023-05-18 AO: Sparta Q: Orange Whip PAX: geraldo, ductwork, Happy Meal, madison, Orange Whip FNGs: None COUNT: 5 Note: no tree limbs were injured during the making of this workout
Took the PAX on a slightly alternate route through the old old Lowes parking lot over to Target. Hit some hills, did some sprint work with merkins, got some prisoner squats and dry docks in on the Sportsplex fields and took us all home. And for a special occasion we did Sharon Towers TWICE!
New launch point was kind of nice but farther for the coffeteria boys and that new Seaboard lot looks smooth!
Good work boys and thanks for letting me lead Madison.
