Olympus™ sponsored by Goliath National Bank

Date: 2025-12-06 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: flipper, voodoo, The Worm, Mountain Momma, Emoji, ickey_shuffle, Toto FNGs: None COUNT: 8 Aye – the pax were plentiful, the degrees in Fahrenheit weren’t, but the reps in The Wolf were and then some. Set upon a brisk morn, the pax descended upon the sacred black top to get work done and chatter in a mumble-style. Truly The Wolf is a miserable sod. She knows her limits and, like Charon, will guide unknowing souls down the river of unpleasantness. Luckily for the pax, today’s adventure only had 4 sets of nonsense. We covered chains, we covered complexes, and we of course had a Hydrox thrown in for good measure. Overall, probably a thumbs down on the weinke, but mumblechatter kept spirits bright and punchy. Without further ado, let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: Swings (10x), prying squats, hi-pulls (5x e/s), synovial circles, one-handed swings (5x e/s), slingshots (7x e/w) THE THANG: 1) Voodoo Complex (3 sets) – Voodoo complex (1x round e/s) – Voodoo complex (2x rounds e/s) – Voodoo complex (2x each exercise, but 1x round e/s) 2) Thee Wolf (4 sets; combo of “complexes” and “chains” and a Hydrox for good measure) – Double snatch – Double squat – Double press – Double squat – Double clean – Double squat 3) Complex of Five Multiples (3 sets) – Lawnmowers (5x e/s) – Somersault squat (10x) – Merkins (10x) 4) Carries and Swings! – Various carries down w/ 10x swings then back w/ 10x more swings (don’t worry Unplugged we nailed 75x total and a few more for good measure) 5) Deadlifts, Rows, and Curls…Oh My! (3 sets) – Double bell deadlifts (10x) – Upright rows (5x) – KB curls (5x) MARY: One round of static holds on each side ANNOUNCEMENTS: :mega: Wildturkey’s summary of upcoming events: docs.google.com/document/d/1rfXr_W_lxq61DGddefdopUF81v3z13rkIIrnyQ_ROFc/edit?usp=sharing :christmas_tree: Area 51 holiday party sign-up sheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q5rBuOznuTlTQjSztxlK_CL-NLaoS7WAjaHZPwy96tk/edit?gid=634347005#gid=634347005 :skull_and_crossbones: Memento mori COT: MARTA, who completed a triple crown of Calvary Q’s this week – t-claps!, took out the joint groups

Date: 2025-12-06 AO: the-rock Q: MARTA PAX: O’Tannenbaum, Mr. Magoo, Snuka, Pilgrim, ChickenWing, Limey FNGs: None COUNT: 7 MUMBLECHATTER: With some of the regulars absent for the Reindeer Romp, the PAX headed out on their own adventure to see the cul de sacs of Carrington farms and piper Glen. Some nice houses hidden away in some of these cul de sacs. It reminded me of the lyrics “This labor I’ve been roofing houses atop of homes I can’t afford so im saving all my pennies.. “.. only we were roofing or working.. actually really nothing like that. ChickenWing did repair his microwave this week and yhc has a battle with a dishwasher today. Someone said I’d be better off paying the 200 dollars for an install like OT did for a 5 dollar toilwt bowl wax ring last week. When not being a refusnik, the pax reminisced on the Goonies and the current poor state of cinema. On all, we got 4 miles and not enough burpees.
