Celebrating women but without HR

Date: 2024-03-30 AO: davinci Q: das_boot PAX: midriff, Franky, Odd Job, das_boot FNGs: None COUNT: 4
WARMUP: Mosey around the parking lot in hopes that Olaf would show up. No such luck.
THE THANG:
To celebrate the last workout of International Women’s Month, YHC went with all female-named exercises:
– Rockette Hillbillies – Little Orphan Annie – Nancy Kerrigans – Ballerina squats – Sister Mary Catherine – Paula Abdul – Supergirl – Rockette curb dips – Rosalita – Rosalita with the clap – Curls for the girls – J-Lo – Merkins – Mama Bearpees – And a few we made up asking the way like the Leah Thomas and the Jane Goodall
MOLESKINE: HR evaluations were handed out, trainings were assigned and promptly ignored, high pitched voices were heard throughout the medical complex. Lots of laughs at da Vinci this morning but that doesn’t mean we didn’t work. The glutes were screaming later and nobody puts Sister Mary Catherine in a corner!
Midriff always brings a positively contagious positive attitude to a workout — who doesn’t love that guy? Odd Job can’t be Canadian, can he? Not that he’s not nice, but are they really that honest? (BTW, if you work for him, don’t be a hoser or you’re a goner.) And Franky brings the laughs that really kick off the fun in the workout. Small group at da Vinci this Saturday, but it was entertaining and we worked.

Funny bunnies cracking yolks as we eggs-ercise

Date: 2024-03-30 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: high_tide, The Worm, voodoo, flipper, Wabbit, Mountain Momma, Orange Whip FNGs: None COUNT: 8 Like an ever-present dad joke awaiting to spring off the tip of your tongue, the pax ran into this week’s pump with an palpable familiarity. True, the weinke was somewhat rinse and repeat, but YHC found a few ways to pepper in some novel pain, including some snatch prep-work at the end. Apparently, the upcoming snatch test at the end of the spreadsheet isn’t the only Easter egg that would manifest itself this weekend. Mumblechatter made its rounds with topics both familiar and new. North Carolina and Arizona fans tended to shy away from the bracket chatter, but intrigue surfaced regarding the kickoff of the UFL. Hope everyone has a great Easter weekend and enjoys the festivities. Let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: 10x swings, prying squats, 5x hi-pulls (e/s), synovial circles, 5x one-handed swings (e/s), 7x slingshots (e/w) THE THANG: 1) SLDL/Merkin Ladder (10 sets) – 1x SLDL (e/s) – 10x Merkins (decrease 1x each set) 2) Waiters – 5x waiter carries for 1.5 tree lengths (down/back switch hands at the turn) 3) Cleans (5 sets) – 5x double cleans 4) Squats (5 sets) – 5x double front squats 5) Pelosi ladder 6) Inverse Ladder (7 sets) – 7x snatches (e/s) [decrease 1x each set] – 3x lawnmower rows (e/s) [increase 1x each set] MARY: – Anchored leg raise 10x – Glutebridge 30 sec. ANNOUNCEMENTS: – Event: WTF on 4/20 – see Slack for details – Recognition: T-claps to Voodoo for guessing the admittedly dumb theme of the playlist this week. Join us next time for an equally reductive, but ever mysterious musical trope – Meditation: Matthew 10:34 – “Do not think I have come to bring peace on earth. I have not come to bring peace, but the sword.” COT: Joined Runstopper and the men of the Rock for COT.

COT: When looking for the Q last night, our fearless leader- Lex was going to be out of town and didn’t have a plan C, so I volunteered.
It was great to find some new places to workout, but disappointed by my lack of creativity. That said, I had probably another full 30-40 minutes planned, but next time!
Good to see Teddy back in the gloom. We joke about how easy it is to get out of shape due to injury or general life challenges. Way to push yourself.
Rousey makes me laugh. He spends so much time talking to himself, motivating himself, he doesn’t need us, but we need him. Good stuff
Wild Turkey and I spend way too much time together rucking. Speedy 5 miles under ruck yesterday, another 2 mile preruck today and he got to be my sounding board. Thank you for all the miles and smiles.
Always great to lead. I love this site and happy that we stayed away from the regular haunts, at least these were mostly new locations for myself.
Everyone seemed gassed at certain points, so 3 miles, exercises and laughs…I know we did something.
Have a great day!
