DATE: 2023-02-18 AO: _Area-51 Q: Krzyzewski PAX: Pelosi, mighty_mite, The Worm, MARTA, Meter_Maid FNGs: 1 Meter_Maid COUNT: 6 They say love conquers all. And, with only a few days past St. Valentine’s Day, there was love in the air. However, faced with the prospect of sub-freezing temperatures and several hundred KB swings, love died a cold death today. Yes, my friends, today was a meat and potatoes workout with no frills. One bright spot on our quest to defeat 400 swings though was FNG Meter Maid’s joining in the fun. With nary an idea of how to utilize God’s gift to fitness equipment, Meter Maid quickly honed his neophyte kettlebell technique in a hurry following 33 point 3 repeating dozen swings. Here’s the play-by-play: WARMUP: SSH, 10 swings, Prying Squats, 10 swings, Slingshots, and 10 swings THE THANG: Set 1 – 5×5 Pelosi-trademarked ladders (2x) and 5/5/5/5 swings (2x) Set 2 – 10 swings (5x) and 5 double bent over rows (5x) Set 3 – suitcase carry (3x) and waiter/rack carry (3x) with each followed by 20 swings for a massive 120 swings Set 4 – 10 one-handed swings (5x) and 6 anchor snatches (3 e/s) (5x) Set 5 – 10 swings (5x) and 5 thrusters (5x) MARY: Glute bridges, planks, and one-handed side planks for some oblique sculpting ANNOUNCEMENTS: Blood drive on 3/3 with liquid refreshments and revelry to follow COT: After bestowing Meter Maid with his F3 name @Hoover took us out. Cold day, numerous swings, and good 90s hip hop beats.

Happiness is 5 Knolls and burpees (according to Alf)

DATE: 2023-02-18 AO: _Area-51 Q: hoover PAX: Alf, ChickenWing, ductwork, Mountain Momma, Mr. Magoo, O Tannenbaum, Floor Slapper FNGs: None COUNT: 8 8 men met in a cold parking lot at Calvary church where the Q asked if anyone had any better ideas. No one volunteered so it was an irresponsible site-q’s responsibility to come up with something. Here’s how it went down:
WARMUP: Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Low Slow Squats. Just enough time for the Q to come up with a plan. THE THANG: Head to 5 Knolls. Some lunges and mary. revamp the bad idea from Joust yesterday but replace the merkins with squats and do A LOT more running. After 5 rounds (or 6 if you’re Alf) pick up some conveniently placed rocks and carry them to the hill. Partner up and catch me if you can (with merkins) up and down the hill 2 x’s. mary at the bottom for a break. return the rocks and head back to launch with a stop at the Olympus AO along the way. MARY: Scattered throughout, but the monkey humpers were saved for the Olympus crew. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Blood drive, cul-de-sac drinking, The Lodge all on March 3rd. COT: Hoover with the takeout
All in pax covered more than 4 miles. only 15 burpees, but 2 trips up and down 5 Knolls. There was plenty of post-workout mumblechatter about taking a nap today.
Join YHC on Monday at Swole for his 3rd Q in 4 days. Voodoo will be so happy I’m coming back to bells.

Yes the big attraction at the Mexico zoo is the donkey exhibit.
We talked about the salesmanship of a man who just got “mini-vanned” by his wife and how many positives he can come up with when telling his friends about their recent purchase.
