Rocks

 

6 PAX gathered in the Ole’ Metairie gloom for the inaugural Metairie Monday workout.  December starts with temperatures in the mid-60s.  It’s tough livin’ in the OM.

The Thang

  • Gather at the track and mosey out near the tennis courts for our Warm-Up
  • Warm-up COP: SSH x 30; Squats x 15; Merkins x 15; Imperial Walkers x 25; Low Slow Squats x 20; Larry Craigs x 10
  • Mosey to the Rock Pile and select your rock
  • Mosey with your rock to the flag football field for the next COP
  • Rock COP: Squat and Press x 12; Squats x 10, Shoulder Press x 12; Curls x 12
  • Pair up – First man runs across field to fence (about 100 yards) and back while partner does as many of the designated exercises as possible. 4 sets:  Squat and Press, Squats, Shoulder Presses
  • Lunge 10 strides with Rock in hand. Drop the rock and do 10 merkins.  Lunge back to start.
  • Throw rock as far as possible. Mosey back to rock pile Cusak style (rock over head) and return the rock.
  • Mosey to the pavilion in the bird sanctuary for 6 Minutes of Mary

  • Mosey to the flag for COT

Moleskin

  • Great start to the OM workouts. We have to EH some locals to sustain this.
  • T-Claps to Blue Dog for winning the stone toss even though his rock was bigger than everyone else’s (well, it somewhat larger than most, but far greater than the pebble Roots selected).
  • Pragmatic Wisdom from Chaka Khan: “If you don’t know what is happening with the rocks, you should pick small.”
  • 6 MOM was harder than I expected – the rock exercises really work the core.
  • In preparing for my Q I found that there is a whole population of people out there that are into lifting rocks. I guess YHC is in that number now.
  • Extra T-claps to Blue Dog for his super-fast sprinting abilities.
  • T-Claps to RY for a great shout out.
