Absentee Q? Extra Merkins
Date: 2025-05-05 AO: swole Q: flipper PAX: Emoji, Unplugged, high_tide, ickey_shuffle, Uncle Leo, flipper, wildturkey FNGs: None COUNT: 7 The PAX rolled in expecting Voodoo’s brand of gentle goading and quality of music. It was a rude awakening for them to find out our favorite Cajun bailed due to having too much Dave Matthews in his Sunday evening, so YHC was pinch hitting. Life is quite the fickle mistress, no? PAX were even more frustrated when YHC played modern Rock/Punk music on Pandora, then doubled our merkin count on the second set… but I digress.

Pearls For The Gurls
Date: 2025-05-03 AO: davinci Q: wingman PAX: Franky, das_boot, Eleanor, kirby, Animal FNGs: 1 Animal COUNT: 6 May – 5k a day Until about 629 Franky and were just gonna run and do one burpee and a merkin.
629 – txt from kirby,coming in hot. 629.5 – Eleanor and his son (FNG) pull up. 629.7 – das_boot
Now we got something. Quick disclaimer, lap around the lot waiting for kirby…
WARMUP: Still waiting on kirby. Apparently hot means 5 minutes. SSH, IW, Windmill, Potato Picker THE THANG: Big Loop towards Tamaroon Hill. We alternate 20 Merkins, 20 Squats, 20 LBC every quarter mile or so. Get to the Hill. Run up, continue your rotation exercise. Run down, rotation exercise Run up to the stop sign. Called Exercise.
Run down AK toward the previously known-as A(1)Nail Bar. Wall Squat. One round of Rocks. Curls, Presses, Tricep Extensions, Bent-Over Rows.
Run to the bank. 5 burpees Run to the wall for get-ups. Run to the stairs for Reverse Merkins Run to the playground for pullups Run to launch.
Franky starts a sprint. I think he ran a 800m. Fun fact, he was racing Animal (FNG) who runs track in the 400,200 events. I think he saw an old dude giving it everything he had and dialed it back. :trophy:
4 minutes of Mary. starting position is 6 inches. Dont let em drop.
Great day out there. Great to meet Animal who sounds like he will be teaching us a thing or two in Real Estate, Assets, and Stocks!

Tres Amigos vs. Treinta Minutos of AMQRAPs
Date: 2025-05-03 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: MARTA, Emoji FNGs: None COUNT: 3 A slight chill and partly cloudy skies greeted the pax for another installment of the go-at-your-own-pace beatdown this morning. Despite an expertly timed playlist that came out swinging (looking at you, Creed) and kept the momentum going with some Led Zeppelin heaters, only a duo of pax dared to take on this beast with YHC. Much appreciation to Emoji and MARTA for posting today – great seeing you both and looking forward to seeing the usual suspects next week once folks are back from DR. Despite the smaller crew, mumblechatter was plentiful and helped pass the time between reps. MARTA dropped some engineering knowledge on gear-head terminology (maybe it should be called an inverted pyramid?) and Emoji passed along some hot travel tips, including the perfect way to infiltrate a hotel’s wifi network. Overall, we embraced the suck, got better, and persevered. 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) AMQRAP #1 (15 min.) – 1-handed swings (4x) – Snatches (4x) – Thrusters (4x) 2) Pelosi Pyramid (…or was it inverted?) 3) AMQRAP #2 (15 min.) (Note this one was much better than #1) – Cleans (5x) – Rows (5x) – Merkins (5x – we made this substitution to get more swole) – Switch hands to repeat above 4) Pelosi Ladder 5) Carries! Carries! Carries! – Double bells w/ shrugs, racks, waiters, oh my! 6) Two-Minute Drill EMOM – A: SLDL (5x e/s) – B: Goblets (10x; horrible, but great finisher) MARY: Mosey over to the COT w/ The Rock ANNOUNCEMENTS: – Brew Ruck on 5/24 – see the Slack channel for details – Blood drive on 6/4 – mark your calendars! – Prayers for all concerns unsaid – don’t suffer alone, brothers COT: Joined the men of The Rock for join COT
