Gear Workouts…for Those Who Like Cardio, but Want to Stay in a 1 Sq. Yard Box

Date: 2024-09-07 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: MARTA, The Worm, Tuna FNGs: None COUNT: 4 A quartet of pax woke up and chose to get better this morning. Week 4, Day 3 had an ample serving of pain in store with a fully body beatdown that the pax took in stride. Guest celebrity, Tuna, joined in the fun today as well. Though he said it was due to a horrific ankle injury, YHC thinks it’s really due to how cool Gear Workout dudes must look that he had to try it. With recent appearances by Beaver and Cottonmouth, maybe YHC is on to something? In any event, Tuna did well for a first-timer and suffered through a lot of unsolicited advice on KB form and technique…hopefully you’ll continue to join us. Solid mumblechatter helped ease the relentless attack provided by the weinke as we put Week 4 into the rearview. Let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: Swings (10x), prying squats, hi-pulls (5x e/s), synovial circles, slingshots (7x e/w) THE THANG: 1) Sandbags Fanfare – Up & Up (8x) (4 sets) – Merkin monster (4x) (3 sets) – Counter-rotational reverse lunge (4x e/s) (3 sets) 2) Kettlebell Attrition Sets (1 min. on / 1 min. off) – A: Heavy cleans (3 sets) – B: Heavy swings (3 sets) – C: Snatches (3 sets) 3) Carries – Heavy farmers – One-handed waiters MARY: Joined up with The Rock for a round of 15x merkins before COT ANNOUNCEMENTS: – Blood drive is coming in less than a month! See Slack for MARTA’s announcement – Charlotte Crusade at Bojangles Coliseum is coming up on 9/20 (www.charlottecrusade.com/) – Prayers for safe travels for our BRR brothers…rumors of bears on the ground always makes it dicey. Stay safe! COT: Floor Slapper took out the join groups with a prayer and some odd reminiscence about Baywatch…

Nemo 9-6: Not all who wander are lost..or on time

Date: 2024-09-06 AO: nemo-resideo Q: F3 Elsa PAX: Roulette, kirby, The Worm, Rudy FNGs: None COUNT: 5 Despite equipment malfunction and scouting some new trails, we survived Elsa’s VQ!
WARMUP: Mosey over to Harriet’s THE THANG: Scouted a new route today following several of the old golf trails. Looped behind The Ballantyne, over to 485, then snuck by the Amph by cover of darkness. Discovered a pair of abandoned Bobcats but decided to power through the workout rather than trying to race them. Turned back up towards Cabo and discovered two new tunnels along the way. Finished off with the back 9 behind John Hancock knocking out a ~1 mile loop as well as several spider webs. My headlamp died right about the time we decided we would need to push it to make it back on time. kirby discovered a series of goodies ranging from neon orange beverages, spray paint cans, and even an errant panel van handing out…bourbon?
Thanks guys for bearing with me on the VQ and special thanks to Rudy for tracking mileage – 3.7 total!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: kirby is looking for sign-ups to get some serious miles in next month- hit him up for details! COT: Pray for those impacted by this week’s violence in GA and lift up our brothers doing BRR this weekend.
