Black Friday…on a Saturday

Black Friday…on a Saturday

Date: 2023-11-25 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: The Worm, flipper FNGs: None COUNT: 3 Oddly enough, and YHC looked this up, when Satan tempted Jesus in the desert, he didn’t test him to post to a workout on a cold morning following an absolute gorging of oneself on turkey leftovers. As YHC was greeted by his alarm this morning, honestly, he thought that seems like it would have been a slam dunk. To that end, if YHC hadn’t already drafted the weinke and tossed together a playlist (sidebar: congrats to Flipper for guessing the theme by the second song) he may have succumb to the allure of the fartsack this morning. Yes, temptation was high, but greatness was nigh as three pax took iron spheres to the pavement this morning. Plenty of mumblechatter regarding Thanksgiving tales, turkey cooking victories, tequila smuggling tips, and the best hot sauces for chili. Also, although moving at a gentlemen’s pace, we covered a lot of ground and got in the required lunges and presses…and then some. Let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: 10x swings, prying squats, 5x high-pulls (e/s), synovial circles, 5x 1-handed swings (e/s), 10x slingshots (e/w) THE THANG: 1) Complex A (5 sets) – Clean & 3x presses (e/s) – Thrusters (2x e/s) 2) Pelosi Ladder 3) Complex B (5 sets) – Reverse lunge (6x e/s) – Lawnmower (6x e/s) 4) Carries Complex (suitcase or rack carry then the below exercise and then carry back; 1 set suitcase – 5x down/back and 1 set rack – 5x down/back) – Goblet squats (8x) – Snatches (3x e/s) – Transformer squats (5x e/s) – Voodoo complex (1x e/s) – Swings (15x) 5) Complex C (4 min EMOM) – Minute A: Clean & press (3x e/s) – Minute B: ‘Squat Swings’ 10x 6) Complex D (2 sets) – Louganis (10x) – Lie on back and hinge up legs (10x) MARY: Complex D was kind of Mary?

Merkins, squats, burpees. Then hot box, then track, I mean parking lot partner work. McGee Mary for finisher. ANNOUNCEMENTS: party at Orange Whip on 12/17. Bring cookies and tequila. COT: McGee with takeout.
We weren’t sure if we were doing 45 or 60 mins today. I wanted 45 but the rest of the Pax were unanimous in the desire to go 60 so that’s what we did. @hops would be proud that I kept the full hour under 3 miles. But alas he wasn’t there. Turkey gravy got the best of him.
Enjoy the long weekend men.
