Biggest Weinke Ever

Leave a comment

9 PAX managed to escape the fartsack for a steamy beat down at the Armory. Your QIC has had a trend lately of showing up at T-minus10 seconds to launch, and that has to stop ASAP. He did put more prep into the workout than the playlist as per usual.

The Thang

4 Rounds of 8:00 with 2:00 rest (rinse and repeat as many times as possible in 8:00)

Dead Lifts 10x

Merkins 10x

High Pulls 10x

Merkins 10x

Two Handed swings 10x

Merkins 10x

Goblet Squats 10x

Merkins 10x

Last week most PAX couldn’t remember the next exercise after round one. I solved this problem with some of my 2.0’s sidewalk chalk, which resulted in the world’s biggest Weinke. This was the second week I went with a timed interval of specific exercises and reps. I feel like I manage to sweat just a little more when I go that route (welcome feedback). Redeye will be QIC next week, so he will definitely need to show up for that to work. One thing we did not have time for, was a game of Bocce, even though Jekyll thought otherwise.

I was notified that we have been violating a noise ordinance for the past few Monday sessions. Specifically, Cable Guy has been violating them with the inordinate amount of methane coming from his six. Knock it off with the bean burritos on Sunday night. Please.

Impressive showing for White Lightning’s debut as Q at The Armory. I, for one, am already feeling the pain. T-claps to Double D for bringing out the shovel flag for The Armory. I saw a few new faces to the workout, let’s keep em coming. There are always a few spare bells laying around. Free Bird is the Q next week, and his is extremely fired up. Be afraid.

Do you know where the weight room is?

14 Pax strolled out on a typical August morn to feel the velvety smoothness of the “Best Asphalt” of the Carolinas. Santini sprinted over from his homestead with his fanny pack on so that he could feast his eyes upon what he started that lazy sun tanning day by the mushroom pool. I fully expected a Tommy Boy line when he showed up, but was disappointed.

One minute Sets w/15 sec rest between except as noted

Upright Rows

Snatch L&R

Windmill L&R (these still suck, audible out after round 2)

Diamond Merkins

Curls L&R

One arm deadlift L&R

The rooster was ready before I was for The Armory. Notable attendees were Crab Cakes (motion to rename Sabbatical) and Santini, as well as the regulars. Cable Guy continued to roll the dice constantly, and managed not to “crap out”. Windmills are still the least fun thing I do all week, but it must be due to lack of form (see below). I continue to be impressed by the effort of the PAX that brave The Armory. Weighted workouts are not in every PAX’s comfort zone, but getting out of your comfort zone is what it’s all about. It’s easy to say “I don’t do weights”, however, there are plenty of PAX that also did not. I have to challenge myself every day to do things outside my comfort zone, and it is not easy. These things don’t always have to be monumental leaps, but rather incremental changes. These small changes in your habits, activities, and lifestyle can lead to big improvements in your overall health, family life, and career. I challenge each and every one of you to strive each day to make a small incremental change in your life for the better.
