A Relocated Chiseled

A Relocated Chiseled

A call was put out Tuesday that Five Stones sites would need to be relocated this week due to a Day Camp there.  (Insert Gif of me balling up the Winkie and throwing it in the trash).  A quick decision to relocate to Cuthbertson (I mean we only use it for 5 workouts a week and multiple convergences, whats one more day).  I struggled with what to do to keep it a gear bootcamp – something different that what is always done at Cutty.  What’s a gear bootcamp you ask?  Well its purposefully using gear to increase strength, while still getting the heart rate up through either running or cardio exercises.

I went to bed last night with a plan to do an Amrap.  I woke up early and decided to throw it out (2nd workout I scrapped for those counting).  Amrap’s have been done at Cuthbertson before.  There isn’t enough rocks spaced out to do a good Amrap.   So what to do….what to do.  I decided to pull my first winkie out of the trash and give it my best go.  It would require some rock running (which I hate), but its a better Chiseled Winkie (more lifting) than the Amrap I had planned.   90’s alternative playlist on…..lets go!

WARM UP

THE THANG

Mosey down the path and grab a rock from the rock pile about 3 lights in.  Circle up for 30 curls (counted on my up just for Posse).  Rocks down.  Go grab another rock from the secondary rock pile closer to the fence/pond.  Run with your second rock down to the double light/sidewalk jut off to softball fields.  Circle up for 30 overhead tricep extensions (on my up).   Rocks down.  Repeat for 2 more rounds: 30 curls, 30 tricep extensions, with a run in between.  Finish once you’ve completed 90 curls and 90 tri’s.  Mary waiting on the 6 (Wrigley led Am Ham’s).

Round 2: 30 chest presses, run, and 10 staggered rock merkins.  Repeat until you’ve completed 90 chest presses and 30 Rock Merkins.  Mary for 6 (LBC’s and Gas Pumpers).

Round 3: 30 Overhead Presses, run, 30 Rows.  Repeat 3 times for 90 and 90.  Mary waiting on the 6 (Dough Boy led big boy sit ups)

Round 4: Partner Up.  Partner 1 Lunge Walks about 20 yards (down sidewalk towards fields) and run backwards back up the hill.  Partner 2 does Sumo Squats (or goblet squats if you prefer your rock in a different location).  Repeat until everyone has completed both 3 times each.

Watch check – running out of time.  Had planed to do Rounds 1-3 (just once, not three times) again back-to-back-to-back as a grand finale.  Oh well.

Sent half the group towards the shed to redistribute rocks (that pile has been looking thin lately) while the other half went back to put there rocks back at the original location.  Meet back up at your other rock to do 30 curls and put that rock up.

Some Pax got a little antsy being that there was only 1 minute left and started taking off to COT.  I called everyone back.  Ricky Bobby time checked me again being ever so concerned that we might be 1 minute late.  “Its cool, I got this.  I’m no Hooch”.  Jailbreak to COT.  Give it all you got.   As I reached COT the watch said 6:45 (since I don’t have a seconds counter, I have no clue how long it had been 6:45….).

MOLESKIN

• Thanks for coming out today and still showing up with the change in locations.
• This was also a SubstiQ as the original Q couldn’t make it.  I look forward to what a month of planning means for his VQ in August.
• Chastain asked if I had anyone at Five Stones redirecting pax.  I didn’t.  He asked if he should go.  I said no, I made two posts about it.  Everyone knows to come here.  I’m glad he didn’t listen as he picked up Flow.  Thanks for being a leader Chastain and not taking the easy way out.  Add that as an example to your upcoming Site Q School of what to do (you) and not do (me).
• Also thanks to Chastain, Schneider, and the rest of you that picked up the 6 instead of Marying.  I’m a pick up the 6 guy, but feel I can’t do it while Q’ing.  Thanks for circling back.
• Cutty Site Q’s, you now have more rocks at the shed pile.  Your welcome.  Now use them.
• I wasn’t sure if the look on Sledge’s face was a look of determination or just hatred towards me.  Dude pushed hard today through some running.  There were not many breaks for him and he kept at it.
• Flow with a return to the mix after some time off.  Good work today.
• High Hat, Rudy, Dough Boy and I were grouped together often today and pushing each other to catch each other (does that read right?).  Good work boys.
• Wrigley and Ricky Bobby were slightly ahead of me today.  Chastain and Schneider were well out in front.
• 0-69 still logging those miles and looking slimmer and slimmer for it.  Nice job.
• Xerox didn’t throw his rock at me after the Rock Merkins so I’ve got that going for me today.  Good work pushing through some not so shoulder friendly exercises today.
• Loafer with plenty of “Oh Yeah’s” this morning.  My new found barometer for judging a good workout.  Its infectious and I tend to repeat if when I see him…except in a much more midwestern twangy way…. that sometimes slides into a bit of what I could only describe as what I think a midwestern orgasm sounds like.  (haha, sorry I’m laughing as I’m typing it and I hope you go around the rest of the day trying to say “oh yeah” in your head sounding like a midwestern orgasm).
