“Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication.” – Leonardo da Vinci

YHC had the Clown-Car today, so I knew we would have a record showing at Rock City.  13 dedicated men showed up today for the downPAINment in the Monday gloom.  There is nothing more simple that lifting/throwing rocks around.. it’s the simple things in life that make the chaos worth it.  As 530 struck, we were flag-less… maybe one will grow by the time we get back.

DISCLAIMER

The Thang:

Started out with a mosey to the train tracks for the warm-up.

COP #1 – IC: Warmup

  • 20 x SSH
  • 10 x Windmills
  • 10 x Good Mornings
  • 15 x Merkins
  • 20 x Peter Parkers

PAX selects their friend (f.k.a. rock) for the morning, and then a quick mosey to a grass patch.

COP #2 – IC:

  • 20 x Lion Kings (everyone was in their Rafiki Zone)
  • 20 x Wood Choppers (10 each side)

After these, it was Snapshot for the Pax to the fence:

  • Pax line up shoulder to shoulder with generous spacing between. Squat and shot put your rock with both hands. Luckily, the Pax did not have to call 911 since our safety rep, OSHA was on the scene.  Once the six pulled up, short mosey over to the side for the following:

COP #3 – IC:

  • 20 x Cross-over Merkins (one hand on rock, Merk, other hand on rock, Merk.. thats one)
  • 20 x Bent-Over Rows

Mosey to the track for some Devin Hesters.

  • Two PAX of similar speed, one with a rock and a small headstart, race 100 meters. 2nd Pax attempts to run down the 1st to prevent him from reaching the endzone. Flapjack the rock, and repeato until 800 meter goal was reached.

Mosey to the playground for one round of circuit work.

  • Station 1- Six Pack: 1 pull-up, 5 merkins (11’s style but with 6’s) – time setters
  • Station 2- People’s Chair w/ rock on fence.. Legs tired?? Throw rock over fence and retrieve it for a quick break, then back to People’s Chair.
  • Station 3- Mary time: 10 LBC’s, 10 Hello Dollys, 10 Putins, repeato

Mosey back to the rock pile to drop friends off, and mosey to another grass patch away from the flag.  Hawg thought I forget where the flag was, but YHC wanted to try some deconstructed burpees:

  • Pax does 5 squats, 5 leg thrusts, 5 Merkins, 5 leg thrusts, then up. Decrease reps by 1 each time until you get to 1 each. Next time, we will try 10.

Horses back to the flag.  We finished with the Name-O-Rama, Shout-Outs, & Prayer.

I may have been late with the Monday post, but….

Rock City – 13 /  The Skinny – 7…. I’m just going to leave this right here.

See everyone at the 610 Stomp tomorrow!
