1200m of Balls Out, Balls In Threshold Progression

Date: 2024-10-15 AO: swift Q: bratwurst PAX: citgo, Gump, flipper, voodoo, bunker, soft_pretzel, Hippie, drive_by FNGs: None COUNT: 9 WARMUP: Head down and preview the 1200m loop. Dynamic exercises along Harney.
THE THANG: On the same loop, Hippie, that we just did the warm-up on, we’re going to run 1200m at Threshold Pace (aka 7.5/10 effort, comfortably hard) and then recover for :45-60 sec. Repeato up to 4 Intervals (4800m, same total interval distance as last week), but push to 5 or more intervals. A couple of PAX got in 4+, but everyone finished at least 4. Next week we’re going to push for 6min on 1min rest, and these will be a Start/Stop as a group. Week 5 of this series will be up to the full 1mi interval.
Nice to have bunker back on a Tuesday. Hippie rejoined after some travel and brought his friend drive_by out. soft_pretzel was pushing hard as usual. citgo claimed 7 intervals, but also picked up the cones, so he can claim whatever number he wants. Gump and voodoo needed to find some comfort in the bushes / Panera, so they left flipper to flounder around on his own.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Paper Jam has posted a service opportunity for Saturday in Rutherforton. YHC will be going. Join us!
COT: Cheese Curd took us out.

No one likes the Merkin Monster

Date: 2024-10-14 AO: swole Q: voodoo PAX: Uncle Leo, flipper, Floyd, voodoo FNGs: None COUNT: 4 YHC did not anticipate traffic at 5:20am on Columbus Day, but that’s what he found. After arriving right at 0530 and unloading bells and a bag, we got started at 0533. #cobains to the pax.
WARMUP: SSH x 20 IC IW x 15 IC Sharon Towers x 10 IC Prying squat x 2 with some Achilles stretching at the bottom
THE THANG: Today’s weinke called for the first workout of the last week (week 10 for those of you keeping track at home) of Flipper’s Bells & Bags program.
Bells: – 5 sets of 20 2-handed swings. Focus on hiking the bell back through the legs and getting a good float at the top. There was too much mumblechatter through the first 3 rounds so we did the last 2 as a combined set of 40 unbroken swings. The pax really enjoyed this. – 4 sets of 6 double clean and press. The weinke called for 12 reps but I thought that was overkill so we just did doubles. Focus on a solid clean and rack before pressing. Use your lats to draw the bells back down into the rack. Or just let gravity do the work.
Bags: 10 minute AMRAP partner work: Partner 1 does the Merkin Monster (merkin, deadlift, merkin, clean, merkin, clean and press) 3 times. Partner 2 does 10 swings and then rests until Partner 1 finishes, then repeats. I think we made it through about 4.5 rounds of this. There was a lot of sweating and not a lot of talking.
Bells: Armor Builder Complex x 5 – Double clean x 3 – Double press x 1 – Double front squat x 2
We had a little time left so we did waiter carries and suitcase carries.
MARY: No time for no Mary
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Please keep an eye out for opportunities to help those affected by the recent hurricanes. The organizer of BRR is arranging work parties, Paper Jam is putting a crew together to go up to the mountains on Saturday and there are numerous opportunities to donate. Anything you’re able to contribute will be more than welcomed by those struggling with the aftermath of these devastating storms.
COT: YHC took us out.
