Ten men came out this morning and were greeted by perfect conditions and temperature that was pleasantly cool yet warm enough to bring the sweat later on. YHC informed the PAX that the workout might be slightly out of wack since this was his first Monday Q along with having a tweaked shoulder. The plan was to go for a smaller rock of 5-10 lbs since we were going to try some “strange”. The PAX were still trickling in during the disclaimer and kept growing as we ran to the rock pile.
Pre-Thang:
SSH IC x 30
Arm Circles IC x15 each arm
Windmills IC x 15
Grab a rock 5-10 lbs and mosey to open field for a COP:
One or two of the latecomers missed the small rock announcement:
Rock Jacks IC x20
Imperial Rock Walkers (right side) IC x20
One Hand Rock Curls (right side) IC x 20
Imperial Rock Walkers (left side) IC x20
One Hand Rock Curls (left side) IC x20
Jack Webb w/Rock (progression of merkins and overhead rock press) worked up to 8
Quick mosey to the foundry (and a detour by some for rock adjustment) where we lined up in a plank with everyone taking a turn to crank out 10 pullups.
Mosey out across the track to the sideline of the football field. YHC announced that we were getting ready to race and there would be something in it for the winner. This got the competitive juices flowing:
First up was a shot put race to the other sideline, 5 burpees, then shot put with the opposite arm on the way back. T-claps to Hawg for a photo finish first place. His prize was a victory jog across the field while the remaining PAX did burpees. We managed to all come out of this exercise unharmed which was impressive given the flying/rolling rocks. Lesson learned that next time we spread out a bit more.
Second round was a rack squat race across the field. YHC got some dirty looks while demonstrating the ever so awkward position of holding the rock down low with two hands below the knees and running while in a semi-squat position. The goal was to keep the rock low and work the legs. Once across, churn out 5 burpees, the rock squat run back. T-claps to Cowbell for killing it and also to Rudy for a respectable second place. They were privied to burpees while the remaining PAX ran across the field and back.
Mosey back to the foundry and hold a People’s Chair along the fence while 2 PAX rotated for 10 more Pullups each. T-claps to those who cracked out some lagniappe curls while in the PC position.
Mosey back to the open field with enough time for one last COP:
Imperial Rock Walkers (right side) IC x15
One Hand Rock Curls (right side) IC x15
Imperial Rock Walkers (left side) IC x15
One Hand Rock Curls (left side) IC x15
On your six for some Mary:
Flutter Kick IC x25
LBC IC x25
Parker Peter IC x25?
Russian Twists IC x15
Freddie Mercury IC x15
Deposit the rocks and Mosey back to the flag with a minute of planking to cap off the morning.
Usual announcements included an array of upcoming events this spring. Prayed for Heisenberg’s father-in-law as he battles health issues.
Thanks for letting me lead. The Monday workouts are definitely a good way to start the week.
