Tiny, Heart Shaped Rock

Tiny, Heart Shaped Rock

12 men gathered this morning at Impromptu in balmy 66-degree heat!  After giving considerable thought (approximately 30 seconds) about what to title this workout I decided to name it “Tiny, Heart Shaped Rock”.  More on that later…

Here’s what went down:

WARM UP

• Side Straddle Hop x 25
• Potato Picker x 10
• Plank Jack x 20
• Hillbilly x 20
• Mountain Climber x 20

THE THANG

• Head down the path doing Burpees at each light pole. 1 Burpee at the first light pole, 2 Burpees at the second, 3 at the third, and so on…
• Grab some wall – 40 Jabs in cadence

    • 15 Curls, 15 Tricep press, 15 Overhead Press

    • After each set we put the LIFTING rocks down and stepped one space to our right.
  • LIFTING rocks back to the pile and Mosey to the stairs
  • Partner up – Wheel Barrow up the stairs, 1 Burpee at the top, then back down and flap jack

MOLESKIN

I always enjoy working out with such a great group of guys.  And it seems every workout always ends up with some sort of humorous occurrence.  That leads me back to the LIFTING rocks…  Making the decision to rotate after each set with the rocks proved to expose some suspect LIFTING rock choices.  The rocks ranged in size from what felt like nearly 50 lbs. down to… well… we’ll just say light weight.  And one rock in question was literally shaped like a heart!  Not a big heart.  Not a heavy heart.  Just a tiny, light weight, heart shaped rock.  Is anyone going to claim responsibility for this??  I think Bottle Cap put it in his pocket and took it home after the workout!

In all seriousness, great job by the PAX.  Dasher continues to impress with his speed.  Dough Boy and I became even closer as Wheel Barrel partners.  Old MacDonald did us all a favor by suggesting we avoid his “cross-wind” during the rock curls.  Foundation doesn’t seem to miss too many workouts.  Xerox always brings good energy.  And, it was good to meet Rose… welcome to the group!

Lastly, a special welcome to our FNG Anthony who is now known as Spam!  He was a Civil Engineer in the Air Force which apparently can be referred to as “Prime Beef”.  Anthony was educating us on Air Force nicknames, and I think he was hoping he could name himself “Beef”.  He quickly learned it doesn’t work like that and is now known as Spam.  Welcome, Spam!

Thanks to Bottle Cap for taking us out with a prayer!
