Bending the 3rd Core Principle @ WIB 9.17.2020

QIC: Burns

PAX: Cherry Pie, Zima, Honey Badger, Mutton, Katahdin (kotters!), Burns (QIC)

Location: Piedmont Plaza Parking Deck

YHC opted for a covered option for today’s WIB with Sally’s impending threat to the skies of Winston Salem. Mutton noted that the PPPD (mentioned above) has become the go-to WIB location for any Thursday with potential for precipitation. We probably could have survived a completely outdoor option, but you can also do pullups in parking decks…pro-tip.

6 gathered in the gloom between 0522 and 0528 to mosey into the parking deck at 0530 to begin #TheThang

WoR – short mosey, Abe Vigodas, ISTs, Michael Phelps, and SSHs.

Three stations were dispersed across three levels of the deck, with a pair of exercises at each. PAX were instructed to do 1 set at station 1, 1 at station 2, and 1 at station 3 before moseying back up the ramps to station one for 2 sets of each, then 3, and so on. All pax were on their 4^th rotation, meaning 4 sets of each pair, when time was called. Cherry Pie might have finished the whole thing.

Station 1: Pullups x5 WWIIs x20

Station 2: Mike Tysons x10 Low Flutter x30

Station 3: Burpees x5 Freddy Mercs x20

It was a pleasure to be at a workout with both Zima and Cherry Pie. It’s been too long since I’ve gotten to hear them bitch at each other while simultaneously destroy a beatdown. Do they ever run out of breath?

Mutton is coming off a shoulder injury for which he received a cortizone shot. Not ideal for a workout that focuses on the upper body and abs…but he modified and made it harder by doing mostly leg work.  After IPC yesterday, there was a 0% chance we would be doing any leg work besides running today.

Honey Badger, as always, smiled through the whole workout and showed no ill effects from the 5000 rep challenge.

Katahdin is back after a hiatus that includes at least the pandemic if not more. He also has a complicated name to spell…I had to do some digging because a quick google search of ‘Catatan’ brought back nothing.  Good to see him back in the gloom!

Announcements: Get on Slack, get off the Twitters. Slack is great, Twitter is not. Do it. Do it now. Now I say!! No prayer requests, YHC took us out.

The keys are mine and I will be keeping them dry so that BAM can’t have anything to complain next week, not that he would complain in the first place
