11 lucky dogs enjoyed the opportunity to explore the boundaries of bootcamp creativity this morning. Needless to say, then thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. McGee made his entrance at 6:59:59, and we were off like a prom dress…

• COP in the amphitheatre (thanks for joining us, OT! Glad you could make it)
  • Straight-leg toe touch
  • LSS
  • Yoga Squat (get low get low get low….)
  • Mtn Climbers
  • Peter Merkin (Peter What??? – yeah, they was the 1st of many patent-pending experiments for the morning)
  • “What’s” Up Dog
  • Down Dog

•        Mosey to the microvan and grab 2 bricks. Befriend them, explore them, get to know them… they’ll be attached to you for the next 45 mins
• Circle up with bricks for more experiments
  • SSH w/ bricks
  • Jump side-to-side on one leg with bricks (flap jack)
  • RDLs (both legs)
  • Low slow abyss merkins
  • Mosey to the hotbox
• Circuit 1 (3 rounds)
  • 20 Step-ups
  • 20 Abyss Merkins
  • 20 American Hammers
  • Take a lap around the microvan
• Mosey to the Mickey Mouse lot for YHC’s next horrible idea
  • Lunge walk across and and do 10 bodybuilders (yes, with the bricks)… mosey back. Repeato 3X
  • Mary at the finish
• Mosey back to the hotbox (ironically, the most climate-controlled venue in all of RockZero this morning)
  • Wall sit w/ presses (yes, w/ bricks)
  • Off the wall for reverse flies (Hold for 3-ct)
  • Wall sit w/ punches (yes, w/ bricks)
  • Off the wall for reverse flies
  • Wall sit w/ curls (yes, w/ bricks… please stop asking me)
• Next bad idea…catch me if you can (runner backwards, chaser does 5 merkins… yes, w/ the bricks)
•        Plank-o-rama (yes/ w/ the bricks)
• Mosey to the microvan and drop the bricks… finally!
• Mosey to the roundabout while YHC figures out how to file 10more mins… circle up on the perimeter… bear crawl 1/2 way around, crab walk the rest. Modify as necessary
• Mosey to launch… Freddy Mercs, 10 burpees OYO.
• Basta ya! Terminado!

Announcements:

• RockZero desperate for Qs … talk to Geraldo
•        If you have the inside scoop on a house for sales in the 3-400s in South CLT, talk to Boererwors (he has a friend in the hunt)

Moleskinny

•        Apparently there’s some other F3 workout going on a mere 100 feet away from RockZero on Saturday mornings. They hang out in a circle and lift heavy things. Seems kind of weird, if you ask me, but you didn’t, so whatever. It’s called “Olympus” (wasn’t that a camera promoted by Andre Agassi??). Talk to Voodoo.
•       Welcome Beetlejuice on his 1st RockZero post. Come on back now, ya hear!
•       Props to Hoover on the 5mile pre-run. (It seems I’m not the only one with horrible ideas this morning)
•       Props to Snowflake, the humble warrior, who appears to have run it in from home
•       Be grateful we didn’t follow Runstopper’s suggestion of Hairburners with the bricks… that exercise is sponsored by Friendly Dental.
•       Not a ton of mumblechatter this morning, but a solid group of dudes willing to (generally) go along put forth the effort with some experimental routines.

Thank you all for a great kickoff to the weekend!
