Date: 2025-01-18 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: MARTA, voodoo, The Worm, Wabbit FNGs: None COUNT: 5 Five bold pax tempted the fates this morning by rolling into a gear beatdown with storm clouds overhead. We managed to navigate about 2/3 of the weinke until the clouds let loose and the pax scrambled over to the hotbox for the remainder of the workout. Including last week’s home-based pump session, we’ve had some odd weather to start 2025 at Olympus, but good to join the other gear workouts with our concentration on swings in January. Without Unplugged here to push us forward (and with odd weather causing the Q to modify on the fly), we captured about 369 swings by YHC’s count (depending on how you count snatches, hi-pulls, etc.) So feel free to finish the mission at home, gentlemen. As for YHC, he’s probably good with where we got today. Solid mumblechatter including college bowl games, the best things to eat if you’re losing your sense of taste (a bacon and jelly burrito, surprisingly), and why Phoenix to Las Vegas should be your next family trip. Join us next week as we strive ever towards 400 hundred swings while trying to not get bored.

Not only are educated people likely to have more influence, they are the last people to suspect that they don’t know what they are talking about when they go outside their narrow fields.” – Thomas Sowell – Stay humble, stay open-minded, and stay frosty, friends. – YHC’s mantra for 2025: strong opinions/convictions; loosely held. COT: YHC took out the Olympus crew in a small COT; hopefully the pax of the Rock stayed dry
