  • Train Kept A Rollin’…..

    I arrived this morning for my first Q at Rock City to find 3 others plus Hawg for the PAX,  seemed a bit low for a spring morning….  However we did notice the Train rolling for what seems to be an eternity that even Tiny Bradshaw, Led Zeppelin, Yardbirds or even Aerosmith could sing about, while we are in a “rock” mode.  Finally,  another (6) for the PAX came in after train passed,  but they weren’t pretty, nor from NYC….

    On to the work out:

    Warm Up:

    SSH X 25

    Peter Parkers X 25

    J Lo’s X 20

    IW X 25

    Arm Circles – 15 each direction

    Grab not 1 but 2 rocks… and set them a distance apart

    Time for an Eleven:

    Squats with Rock — one side

    Chest press — other side

    About three quarters of way the remaining PAX came in,  started their warm up in parallel with us finishing the eleven.

    The entire group now joins together for timed stations in four groups:

    1. Timer — run from the pumping station via track to power station or junction
    2. Rock curls as many as possible
    3. Step ups with rock
    4. Shoulder press with rock

    Yet another train in the opposite direction….

    Counter clockwise motion (as corrected by circus) to avoid doubling up on legs or upper body (for Mahatma).

    Repeat until 6:10

    Mary:

    • 2:00Plank with leg pumps
    • LBCs – 35
    • Flutter Kicks X 25

    Back to imaginary flag, COT, countdown, names, announcements, intentions, prayer.

    Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  • Okwata Draft Day

    We had a beautiful Okwata windy morning for the PAX of 10.    The rain held off.  Today is NFL draft day, and the only number YHC can think about is 11.

    Now for the thang:

    The PAX moseyed around the fountain and then circled up for the warm-up: SSH 25xIC, Abe Vigoda 15xIC, Arm Circles 10xIC each direction, Peter Parkers 15xIC, Parker Peters 15xIC, and Imperial Walkers 25xIC.

    Then, the PAX moseyed west to the levee for 11. The PAX started at the bottom of the levee with burpees on one side of the levee and low slow squats on the other.  T-Claps for the entire PAX for sticking with it.  It gets easier every time.

    Next, the PAX moseyed to the House of Pain. Five stations, 2 rounds: Bear crawl up the levee, your choice down (timer); merkins; dips; WWII sit-ups; and pull-ups.

    Finally, the PAX moseyed to the virtual flag for a quick Mary (10xIC each): Real Freddie Mecury, Flutter Kick, Hello Dolly, and Box Cutters.

    Name-O-Rama, announcements, intentions, and COT.

    To toil and not to seek for rest,
