The Brick Masons Return

The Brick Masons Return

With the shovel flag firmly planted 10 pax ventured forth out into the gloom for their weekly Saturday downPAINment.  Little did 9 of them know they would be swinging around brick pavers all morning like masons.  It went a little something like this:

The Thang:

YHC yelled follow me and we quick moseyed to the end of the parking lot and circled back around to YHC’s car to fetch our 2 little brick paver friends for the morning as the collective sighs of the pax ensued.  Now the real follow me with a quick mosey out to the front fields in front of Calvary for a warmup with our bricks in hand:

SSH x 30

Push/Press x 30

Imperial Walkers x 30

Man Maker Merkins x 16

Combination of slow & regular squats x 30

4 Corners Brick Mason Style: YHC had set-up 4 cones in a large square with the cones a little more than 100 yards apart and we broke up into 4 teams.

Round 1: Corner 1 Push/Press w/ bricks x 30, Corner 2 Man Maker Merkins x 16, Corner 3 squats with bricks, Corner 4 LBC’s w/ bricks over chest x 30, run back to cone you started from then out to middle of the square for various planks.

Moleskin:

Great job by the pax today as YHC wanted to get in some running between various sets of exercises as a Mud Run prep simulation.  It’s always fun to do a little team work and climb THE ROCK as well in a 10 ft Wall simulation.

Welcome to F3 to our FNG Brian K. (Dr. Noles), great work out there and we hope to see you out in the gloom many times in the future!

No new announcements this week, just be on the lookout for next weeks workout as several of our Saturday workouts converge at The Rock while some of us do the USMC Mud Run.  The beatdown will be curtousy of Run Stopper.
