Troop Olympus earns their juggling badges

DATE: 2023-03-25 AO: Olympus Q: Pelosi PAX: Krzyzewski, The Worm, flipper, voodoo, high_tide, mighty_mite, ickey_shuffle FNGs: None COUNT: 8 WARMUP: Flailing and squatting THE THANG: General spreadsheet pain. Slow start with clean and press every 30 seconds, grind out 16 EMOM of clean, squat, press x2 both sides then 12 minutes of pushups and double clean and press. Then we were off the clock. Next up, kneeling wood chopper then for the badges we took the bells to the grass for foward and backward juggling. Merriment ensued as dropping a bell on the grass is for some reason very satisfying. Out of the blue @IckeShuffle starts doing double flips! WTH? Who tries and perfects double rotation kettlebell juggling? Very impressive. Johnny Cash made a surprise and welcome visit along with the required by the by-laws Husker Du song. Overall a worthy workout with good attitudes. Have a great weekend gentlemen! MARY: We don’t do Mary ANNOUNCEMENTS: COT: Lord’s prayer after a brief shower then again with the Rock

MARY: Mary until out of time (~1:00)
ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Red Cross is after MARTA to schedule another blood drive in June, so keep an eye out.
MOLESKINE:
This workout program definitely seems to have more of a kettlebell sport feel to it than previous programs. The pentathlon is a good example of that. 4:00 is long enough that you have to take breaks, even with small bells. Since Mighty Mite doesn’t have small bells, he was stuck with 20s, which must have been miserable based on how bad the 16s were for me. Strong work by everyone to keep pushing on each set.
COT: YHC took us out
