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).

Well done! Thanks for coming along for the ride.

Thrill reminds you that you can’t always predict the twists and turns of life, but you can be strong enough to push through when you need to.

With that, The Thrill is gone.

The NOT SO Sweaty Barry

If I missed your name, feel free to edit it in….

The weather did not agree with us, but I hope everyone had a nice evening at The Barry (aka The Sweaty Barry). I’m really not sure how a person could not have a good time with Milwaukee’s Beast and PBR being served.

Winner (repeat), Harry Carry … new traveling trophy awarded

Ruck winner (repeat), 3D … we’ll rustle up an award for the ruck winner next year

Thanks to the volunteers.

Thanks to the Rock Hill participants.

Thanks to Twister for gracing us with his presence.

Looks like we made it,

Barry Manilow

This is the workout that happened at slow burn today

WARMUP: ssh, hb walkers, imp walkers, Abe vigotas, plank time, Peter Parkers
THE THANG: the road along the storefronts has 4 crosswalks starting at one end, we ran suicides, with the crosswalks serving as successive end points. Each time we hit one of those end points, we did merkins and mountain climbers, and each time we returned to start we did big bois and flutters

Rep count for each exercise was 5 the first time through, then 10, then 15 and we got part way into 20s when time expired.

I often wonder what the people sitting at the Tesla charging station think while they’re sitting there adjacent to our tom foolery. And if any of them haven’t returned because of us. In all honesty, being held captive to whatever madness is going on around you during your charging is 1% in the con column of any of my EV buying decisions. But I digress
