Bloom Where You are Planted

A lot of pre-workout mumble chatter regarding Shorty’s double Q beatdowns at both Rock City and City Park last week.  The yoga master left quite an impression on the Pax.  YHC can only assume our skinny armed brethren had two flags this morning as there was none to be found at Rock City.  After a quick disclaimer, we moseyed to the Rock Plie

The Thang

Circle up by the tracks for the warm-up COP all IC:  SSH x 30; Good Mornings (aka Hammy Poppers) 20; Forward Arm Circles x 20, backwards arm circles x 20; merkins x 15; calf raises x 40; squats x 30

We Selected our rocks and moseyed about 20 feet, circled up, and dropped our rocks. We then went back to the rock pile to select a bigger rock to go with our first one.  YHC did have plans for using the first rock, unfortunately those plans never materialized, as we stayed in this COP using the big rock for the rest of the workout.

All exercises were in cadence and included 5 sets:

• Shoulder Presses x10, x8, x6, x4, x2.  Total = 60 reps
• Curls x10, x8, x6, x4, x2.  Total = 60 reps
• Bench Presses x20, x16, x12, x8, x4.  (That one was harder than I thought it would be)  Total = 120 reps
• Rows x20, x16, x12, x8, x4  (This one was as hard as I thought it would be)  Total = 120 reps
• Squats x10, x8, x6, x4, x2.  Total = 60 reps
• Lunges x10, x8, x6, x4, x2.  Total = 60 reps
• Calf Raises x30, x25, x19, x12, x7.  (YHC missed the mark on the number of reps a few times with this one.) Total = 186 reps

We returned both rocks back to the pile and then ran horses to the stable back to the virtual flag.

Naked Man Moleskin

It was great to see Jingle Vader back at Rock City after his recon mission to The Skinny last week.  When we asked him what it was like, he said it was mostly hugging and talking about your feelings.

This may have set the record in New Orleans for the least amount of moseying.  That wasn’t the original intention, but it worked out.  As I sit down to right this up, I am a little dismayed that it took the whole time to do that one COP.  I guess we will know later today or tomorrow if it was effective or not.

It seems like there is an inverse relationship between running and #mumblechatter.  With almost no running this morning, #mumblechatter was rampant.  T-claps to Bogey and Amnesty for their ability to distract the Q with random questions about astrology and Q commands.  YHC was a little slow on recognizing their tactics.
