Flying Iron in the Cold

DATE: 2023-01-23 AO: Swole Q: flipper PAX: The Worm, voodoo, ickey_shuffle FNGs: None COUNT: 4 WARMUP: IW, Dolphin Complex, windmills THE THANG: outside dbl swings, rack squats, OH squats, Dbl Snatches, Kentucky Burpees, single leg DLs and other flamboyant spreadsheet shenanigans MARY: boat canoe, Glute Bridge
Cool dry mornings are a great place for the swinging or iron while enjoying the sultry tones of early 2000s emo pop-punk. YHC knew every song while only voodoo may have recognized one or two…. Consider it pay back for endless hours of hair metal which greatly preceded my formative years. Not that I dislike the melodic resonance of bygone eras, but diversity is the spice of life.
Also, double over head squats are my new least favorite KB motion, they’re just awful, or I’m just inflexible, I believe the PAX agree on this one.
We’re in the final week of the doubles program, Voodoo is off to scour the interwebs for our next round of funishment
ANNOUNCEMENTS: blood drive March 3rd, see Marta
COT: Prayers for those impacted by the Monterey Park shooting. The world is a place of senseless violence and desperately in need of community leadership. May the sky Q grace each of us with the strength and wisdom to lead our family’s and communities through tragedy and model love, tolerance, and forgiveness.

IPC Reprise

DATE: 2023-01-20 AO: -Brave Q: soft_pretzel, fire_hazard PAX: midriff, wingman, Rousey, tuck, Odd Job, Franky FNGs: None COUNT: 7 YHC led the PAX on a warm up of a little over a mile with a stop for stretching. Made weird references as we went about noting the route. Then went back to launch and laid this on them: (Picture to Follow). The timing was actually amazing and we finished right at 6:30. Thanks to War Eagle and Yard Tool for hosting this workout (which I modified slightly) for IPC back in Sept. It was my favorite one – hard but doable with rep counts that are high but not stupid high.
Thanks to Midriff and Wingman for sharing their thoughts in COT and Midriff for a great take out.

Change Management

DATE: 2023-01-20 AO: Kevlar Q: Horsehead PAX: Orange Whip, Big League Chew, Rhapsody FNGs: None COUNT: 4 Posting this so Wingman will release the ransomware he installed on my computer. He started messaging me during the COT prayer demanding a Slackblast. Look, I don’t like change and I had finally come to grips with no more backblasts but here we are again. Allow me to swallow this harumph and continue.
THE THANG:
We ran to Matthews Elementary, home of Slim Fast’s original 17 different BRR teams and (one of the) legendary time(s) I almost passed out in the allleyway, and did some cavorting around. Possibly some galivanting. Some may have jaunted or traipsed. It was a blur. Then we ran back home and did the longest 6MOM I have experienced (at least this year).
At least one guy farted.
Pro Tip: If you are faced with the real glass bottles of Heinz Ketchup and you can’t make it happen, tap the bottle right on the little imprinted “57” just under the neck and it’ll get to flowing, stat. It works on the refrigerated and unrefrigerated versions, because ketchup in a restaurant doesn’t have to be kept cold – everyone knows this. Give it a try.
I don’t want to break this slackblaster thing, so perhaps I’ll end here.
