The (Abridged) Cooper

The (Abridged) Cooper

Date: 7/26/2023

PAX: Lamb Chop, Frost Bite, Palin, Yukon Cornelius, Bravo, Greenspan

Frost Bite always seems paranoid when YHC has the Q on Wednesdays, as if YHC is involved in a conspiracy.  Well, there was some truth to that this morning, courtesy of YHC’s 2.0 Bravo.  Brave said he would come (for the second consecutive week) if YHC would steer clear of the Intimidator.  Hmmm.  He drives a hard bargain, that 2.0.  But steer clear we did; the workout was flat for miles.

Warmarama:

SSHs,  Hamstring and Hip stretches, Cherry Pies

The Thang

Mosey to track.  ISTs AMRAP until the six arrives.

The workout today was derived from “The Cooper” in the Exicon (https://f3nation.com/exicon/entry/3492/?gvid=398721).

• Run a 400m lap
• Upon return:
  • Burpees x 10
  • Squats x 10
  • WWIIs x 10
• Repeato, reducing by 1 rep on each lap.

Mosey home for 3 minutes of Mary:

• Cobra Crunch
• Merkins
• Dying Cockroach

Finished.

NMM:

• Quiet group this morning, considering the attendees.  We only got about 6 rounds in on the track, less than YHC had hoped.
• It was great having 2.0s x 2 with us this morning. Yukon Cornelius flies on the track until he doesn’t.  Bravo did great as well, although his IST form is reminiscent of Zima.  Love having the little guys out with us.
• Lamb Chop was fresh off a trip to San Diego for ComiCon! He must have been tired because very little was heard from him.  He and Frost Bite led the laps on the track.
• Frost Bite is thinking about school for his future kids. Redeemer on Miller Street, as his M knows, is a great option.  FB also shared how he and the M enjoyed dinner on their back deck last night.  They are getting settled in.
• Got a DM from Spicoli that he snoozed one too many times this morning. YHC, in response, shared Jim Harbaugh’s quote:  “I truly believe the No. 1 natural steroid is sleep, and the No. 2 natural steroid is milk, whole milk.  Three would be water.  Four would be steak.  Steak…it goes with everything.”  See you soon, brutha.
• Bravo convinced YHC to buy donuts for the family after last week’s Conspiracy, and bagels from Bagel Station this morning. The workout may be free of charge, but the encore is not.
• Thanks, Frost Bite. Always a pleasure to be at Conspiracy.

Announcements:

• Root Canal is looking for WIB Qs. Check him on Slack.

Prayer Requests:

None verbal.  Many internal.  Sky-Q knows.

YHC took us out expressing thanks to the Sky-Q for the fun morning with our 2.0s, one another, and the hum-dum everyday blessings we skip right over.

Keys are on the Intimidator, Frost Bite.  😊
