The hammer of Thor

WARMUP: We got the party started with SSH, windmills, cherry pickers, low slow squats, merkins, and some stretching (hamstring and back).
THE THANG: Today was pretty straight forward and kudos to the avenger Thor for the inspiration of the different exercises.
– 10 reverse curls
– 10 shoulder press
– 10 tricep extension
– 10 squats
– 10 lunges each leg
– 10 upward rows
– 10 Thor hammer chops each side (basically low to high across your body, hip to above your shoulder)

Quick 30 second break, short jog, short walk back, farmer carry the weight to the next stop.

We got through 6 rounds. Thor hammers were deemed the worst.
MARY: not today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots in the newsletter, convergence and invergence happening

BushHolePit. Best if used on or before 08/13/25.

17 men, 3 Ruckers and 14 of The Ungovernable, came to BushHolePit to celebrate National Left-Handers Day. Or just to workout. Whichever.

WARMUP:
Like we needed it warmer out there. But we did do a little moseying, windmills, mountain climbers, etc.
THE THANG:
We went the long way around the school (is there a short way?) stopping for some things along the way. Some Dora, some bear crawls, dips, step-ups, muscle ups, etc. You know what we DIDN’T stop for? Pull-ups? Why? Because the AO got all bougie and walled them off from us peasants. Oh well. I would elaborate on this mornings festivities, but I made no weinke and I am not smart enough to recall all the things.

All you need to know is Birdcage was there and you probably weren’t, so you missed out. Seriously, the guy is hilarious. Love him.

Ok, back to life.
MARY: No chicks.
