What does TPS even stand for??

Date: 2024-09-14 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: The Worm, MARTA, Mountain Momma, Wabbit, Horsehead, Floyd FNGs: None COUNT: 7 Under the backdrop of a cloudy sky and a bit of mist, seven pax took to the pavement and chose to get better this morning. Week 5 Day 3 of the current program had its twists and turns, but the pax moved seamlessly through the weinke. Great to have Horsehead and FNG, Floyd, join us today. As per custom for newcomers in our niche hobby, Floyd was subjected to a lot of unsolicited advice, but picked it up well over the course of the beatdown. Hope to see you back in the gloom more regularly. Mumblechatter made the rounds, but had YHC feeling a bit dated as we recognized the 25th anniversary of the movie Office Space. For all the inquiring minds, the internet tells me that TPS stands for ‘test procedure specification’. Shockingly between Olympus and The Rock, nobody had stashed away that trivia, but now you can impress your friends with that piece of knowledge, as you ascend new heights of nerdery. 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) Kettlebell Work – Cleans (3x e/s) and snatches (3x e/s) (3 sets) – Alternating hand swings (20x) (3 sets) – Lawnmower L (6x); goblet squats (8x); lawnmower R (6x) (3 sets) 2) Sandbags Partner EMOM (24 min.) – Clean & press (8x) (4 min.) – Counter-rotational reverse lunge (5x e/s) (4 min.) – Up & up (5x) (4 min.) – Note: Pax partnered up and in the off-minute did either 10x merkins or 10x swings 3) Multiple Rounds of Carries – Farmers – Jerry West MARY: Two rounds of static holds w/ sandbags (or KBs) (waiter/rack/farmer 20 sec. each) ANNOUNCEMENTS: – Blood drive is coming up on 10/4. See Slack for MARTA’s announcement – Charlotte Crusade at Bojangles Coliseum is coming up on 9/20 (www.charlottecrusade.com/) – Memento mori – Your periodic reminder to smile more COT: Jet Fuel took out the joint groups in the COT

THE THANG: Jump rope and called exercises, rocks with friends exercises. bank run sequence, and special JD Vance and Tim Waltz themed beatdowns. Franky still takes the cake for his jump rope style, which the rest of us dubbed the “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmgNL6PT7Ts”. teddyf3 killed it on the workout and again narrowly avoided an altercation with Crack Head Billy. Palmolive killed us with something called the A-Rod and kirby excelled at the “Tim Walz” drill and of course, mumblechatter.
Lots of great laughs this am and a little beatdown too. Grateful to call you guys friends and F3 brothers.
