Where’s the Shower Curtain

Leave a comment

Shower Curtain was on Q, but no showed. The PAX stepped up

WARMUP: band camp led

THE THANG: rebound had a cardboard workout in his car. It was very arm heavy. Bells at one end and partners. Cumulative 120 reps of things at the far end. The bell exercises were AMRAP (and very arm focused). The AO isn’t called the Legory.

Band Camp led then for movement between two parking spaces. 10 swings, bear crawl, 10 cleans, bear crawl. Eventually that shifted to 5 man makers, lunge walk with a pass through.

Backdraft led us to the wall.
Step ups
Dips with the bell in the lap
Hip thrusts or big boys

Return to COT via a modified over head carry and indigenous peoples run

ANNOUNCEMENTS: read your newsletter

COT: yep

Hope Shower Curtain is alright

Where have all the Armory guys gone?

Leave a comment

JWOW and I both were kind of coming in hot around 5:15 and equally shocked we were the only pax present. Both thinking the same things of “Is it Monday?” and “Did daylight savings just happen?” We drove in circles around each other in an automotive ballet, deciding if we had it in us to get out and do this thing. We did indeed, and it was legendary… You all should have been there

WARMUP: SSH, Windmills, Cherry Pickers, Moroccan Nightclubs, Imperial Walkers, Hillbilly Walkers

THE THANG: I had a deck of cards and JWOW had some chalk, so we put them together and the magic happened

❤️ : Squats
♠️ : Overhead Press
♦️ : Curls
♣️ : Swings

Any card 4 or less were man makers, Aces were 1 man maker and a run to the road and back

We almost finished the deck

COT: We mostly discussed all the losers who didn’t show up
