A little dab’ll do ya
Date: 2024-10-07 AO: firestarter Q: das_boot PAX: war_eagle, madison, SweetWater, Point Break, wildturkey, Roulette, das_boot FNGs: None COUNT: 7 6 PAX joined YHC with expectations of the strange and hopefully a good workout and they got some of both. PAX were about to head out when a truck came in hour and who was it? Sweetwater! Great to see him in the gloom. Good crowd with plenty of push this morning and YHC felt the SOB vibes going strong and their desire to make it tougher with t-merkins. The Morgans take a bit to figure out and the burpees are always a crowd pleaser.
But yes, a solid crew on Monday and we started the week off well.
WARMUP: Canadian SSH, hillbillies, Hillbilly Rockettes, merkins
THE THANG: We went for a modified version of the Dab, because modified mediocrity is the bar for success that Panthers fans have seen in recent years.
This consisted of: – 10 burpees during minute 1 – 20 T-merkins during minute 2 – 30 Coupon curls, minute 3 – 40 Captain Morgan (20 per leg), minute 4 – 50 LBCs – 1/4 mile run – Repeato for 4 rounds
MARY: Gargoyles at Jeni’s

The Ultimate Penultimate Did Not Involve Footballs Today
Date: 2024-10-12 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: voodoo, The Worm, MARTA, Mountain Momma, flipper, Wabbit, ickey_shuffle, mighty_mite, Fireman_Ed, Omaha FNGs: 1 Omaha COUNT: 11 An absolute swarm of gear-headed pax descended upon Calvary’s paved lots with one mission this morning – pick up heavy-ish objects in one place and then put them down in another place somewhat close to the first place. By all accounts, mission accomplished. Though the dynamic of our usual circular formation became a bit unwieldy for singular mumblechatter, there were some solid sidebars amongst the pax as we dismantled the weinke with aplomb. Unsurprisingly, NFC South chatter has sprung up – we just need a Bucs fan to round out representation. YHC is starting Bucky Irving on his FF team this weekend so maybe that counts? YHC digresses. Great, of course, to see the regular crew come out today. We were joined by Fireman Ed and Voodoo’s co-worker, Omaha. Both pax took our somewhat offbeat workout in stride and we enjoyed seeing some new faces get into the twisted world that are gear workouts. 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 Sets – Partner Work – Up & up (5x) (4 sets) – Merkin monster (3x) (4 sets) – Counter-rotational reverse lunge (7x e/s) (4 sets) – Note: Pax partnered up and in the off-time did either 10x merkins or 10x swings 2) Kettlebell Attrition Sets (3 sets) – A: Alternating cleans – B: Heavy swings – C: Alternating snatches 3) Humane Complex (10x/6x/6x) (2 sets) 4) Various and Sundry Carries with Double Bells – Shrugs, Racked, and Waiters – oh my! MARY: Perhaps the walk from the end of the carries back to everyone’s gear counts? ANNOUNCEMENTS: – “Better to trip with the feet than with the tongue.” – Zeno – Continued prayers for Western NC and FL following the devastation the past couple of weeks – Paper Jam is collecting volunteers and/or donations for a 10/19 trip to Rutherfordton COT: Stonecold took out the joint groups from the Rock and Olympus

Because the other half of shopping is returns, go pick up your coupons and stop at each store for exercises. 10x presses, 5x Grave Diggers (per side), 5x blockees, 5x creature merkins, 5x head shoulders knees and toes.
