– Suicides in the PLOP – 11s on the hill w/ no grass touch sidewalk merkins – Giant starfish with kettlebell harassment leg – One guy runs one guy exercises time killer – Mary
3.5 ish miles and the Q was smoked after the burpee-center starfish. Hope you boys enjoyed it.
Tuna loved all of the “new exercises”, which were really just the things we did when I first started, minus the were grass part. When it comes to leading workouts, I really just have a couple of rulez.
1. keep moving the whole time 2. if it hasn’t been done yet, let’s not do it now
TClaps to the KB crew for pretending to work out when we came to visit.

The Rabble Rouser’s Secrets to Success

Date: 2025-04-12 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: high_tide, flipper, Wabbit, Emoji, Toto FNGs: None COUNT: 6 Love. Justice. Honor.
A list of things that limp along in the race to stir emotions. As anyone who has spent any amount of time on social media knows, the real way to ignite a crowd is through division and hatred. It was under this guise that YHC pulled together today’s beatdown. However, like the ‘best laid plans’, that which you’d think would sow the seeds of discord does not always work the way you’d think it would (honestly, did no one pick up on the fact that every other song today was by Green Day?). Alas, while trying to rally the pax around the common enemy of squats, we ended up fighting about the best way to do calf raises!? Mind boggling. Nevertheless, the pax seemed to appreciate the moderate tempo of today’s pump and mumblechatter made its usual rounds…although the number of “that’s what she said” jokes probably would have made even Michael Scott blush. Despite this, YHC appreciates each and every one of the pax who comes to post for Olympus…if for no other reason than misery loves company. Let’s get into the recap… WARMUP: Swings (10x), prying squats, swings (10x), synovial circles, swings (10x), slingshots (7x e/w) THE THANG: 1) Heavy, Dead, Row Complex (5 sets) – Heavy swings (5x) – Deadlift -> upright row (5x) 2) Pelosi Ladder 3) EMOM II (12 min.) – A: Thrusters (3x e/s) – B: Swing squats (10x) – C: Snatches (3x e/s) 4) Why Bad Racks are Like Bad Pizza Complex (3 sets) – Racked reverse lunge (5x e/s) – Racked front squat (5x e/s) 5) Same as #4, but Overhead! (1 set) – OH reverse lunge (5x e/s) – OH squat (5x e/s) 6) Calf Raises! (2 sets) – Racked (or suitcase or…just whatever) calf raises (20x) MARY: – Chest press (10x) – Anchored leg raises (10x) – KB pullovers (10x) – Glutebridge! (45 sec.)

Total Chaos

Date: 2025-04-12 AO: davinci Q: Palmolive PAX: Odd Job, kirby, Franky, Eleanor, Pepsi FNGs: None COUNT: 6 Just like current US trade policy, I approached today with absolutely no plan, but with Eleanor posting, I knew I had to bring the heat. So warmup was burpees and the mental decision was made for a black diamond workout.
WARMUP: 20 burpees, runners stretch, then mountain climbers, Peter Parker’s, Parker Peters, and 4 count merkins.
THE THANG: Mosey to Target to grab cinder blocks for a ladder circuit. Line up on a parking space, 5 blockees, bear crawl to the next space, 5 squats, walk back. Blockees stay the same every round, bear crawl distance increases by one space and squats increase by 5. We went up to 25 and back down.
Legs were pretty toasted at the end, so switch to 3 rounds of 10 presses, 10 rows, and 5 head shoulders knees and toes with the blocks before putting them back.
Mosey to the playground for 3 rounds of 4 stations: pull ups/supines, heels to heaven, big boys, inch worms. 5 pull-ups/10 supines are the timer.
I realized about half way through that we were only at 65 burpees, so we started doing sets of 5 after each station set to get to 95.
Head back to launch and knock out another 10 burpees in case I didn’t math right, do some random Mary, and that was time.
MARY: Whole lotta
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Welcome back, Eleanor!!
COT: Kirby took us out
