Ascending the Pyramid, but not descending it. The Distillery 5.6.2021
QIC: Burns
Date: 5.6.2021
PAX: 60 Minutes, Harden, Sea Man, Crash, Schneider, Sassy, Burns
YHC surprisingly keeps getting invited to Q at the Distillery. 60 Minutes must really be strapped for filling the slots…message him to sign up! I’ve been determined to make every time I Q out there to really get my money’s worth and use the available blocks for utter bodily destruction, and that was the plan yet again today.
I put out a call on the #wefoco channel for HCs and knew there would be at least 3 to join me (s/o Sea Man, 60, and Crash!), and was pleasantly surprised to see 3 more join our ranks. We all suffered through the suck together.
WoR: Abes, Whirlies, Standing leg stretches, SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Jack Reachers, and Michael Phelps all x10 IC
The Thang: The goal was to completely finish 9 rounds of a pyramid…climb it all the way up and all the way back down. We got through 7.
5 exercises were on a weinke:
- A. 10 Blockees
- B. 20 Squat Thrusters
- C. 30 Skull Crushers
- D. 40 Curls
- E. 50 WWIIs
9 rounds of work were also scribed on the weinke. Each round consisted of a set of exercises and a number of runs the length of the parking lot:
- rd 1: A, run 1 PL
- rd 2: A + B, run 2 PL
- rd 3: A + B + C, run 3 PL
- rd 4: A + B + C + D, run 4PL
- rd 5: A + B + C + D + E, run 5 PL
- rd 6: B + C + D + E, run 4 PL
- rd 7: C + D + E, run 3 PL
rd 8: D +E, run 2 PLrd 9: E, run 1 PL
After the second round a necessary Omaha was called to reduce the load on the shoulders – squat thrusters became goblet squats.
All told – 50 blockees, 100 squats, 150 skull crushers, 160 curls, and 150 WWIIs
Schneider revealed that his Cinco de Mayo dinner at Kickback Jack’s was not agreeing with him this morning and that he’d “try and keep his cheeks clinched” for the whole workout. He had to leave at 0603 to take care of it.
Sea Man put in the work right next to me all morning without complaint, and I overheard him & 60 make plans for BBBC tomorrow. Awesome stuff
Speaking of 60, he neglected his site Q duties by 1) allowing me to Q and 2) not providing music for everyone. That’s the site Q’s job, right?
Crash is joining the elite ranks of silent assassins alongside Mutton & Wobegon – dude just gets after it every time I see him
Harden pushed the pace most of the morning, probably because Sour Mash wasn’t there to distract him with bourbon chatter. Missed you, Mash
Sassy is a stud. Nuff said.
Announcements – BBBC tomorrow launches from the old Charlie Foxtrot lot.
No Prayers, YHC took us out.
