Yabba Dabba Do it

Posted on behalf of Hopper (QIC)

Nine pax and one FNG (thanks to Dick Clark for reeling him in) ascended on a balmy Providence Day campus to start off hump day.  Man, the air was thick, but we got down to it quickly.  YHC and Gummy attended Fast Twitch yesterday so the legs were already burnt.  That meant YHC had to design a more upper body focused weinke if I had any chance of getting through the morning.  Here’s the scoop:

The Thang:

Warmup/COP
One lap around upper parking lot with some high knees mixed in, followed by parking lot zig zag from curb to curb
Mosey to upper soccer field for 20 SSH, 20 Peter Parkers, 20 MCs and 20 HR Merkins

Main Event
We partnered up and one man from each team grabbed a good sized rock (Dick Clark actually grabbed a pebble) from a nearby pile.  We all lined up at the goal line of the soccer field and enjoyed the following exercises with the rocks:

Main Event

We partnered up and one man from each team grabbed a good sized rock (Dick Clark actually grabbed a pebble) from a nearby pile.  We all lined up at the goal line of the soccer field and enjoyed the following exercises with the rocks:

Partner A curls rock while Partner B runs to opposite goal line, completes 15 CDDs and runs back to Partner A.  Flapjack.  Plank until all return.

Partner A curls rock while Partner B runs to opposite goal line, completes 15 CDDs and runs back to Partner A.  Flapjack.  Plank until al return.

Partner A conducts skullcrushers with rock while Partner B runs to opposite goal line, completes 15 diamond merkins and runs back to Partner A.   Flapjack.  Plank until all return.

Partner A squats with rock in hands while Partner B turns to opposite goal line, completes 15 Sister Mary Catherines (each leg) and runs back to Partner A.  Flapjack.  Plank until all return.

Throw your rock on the ground and starting from goal line Partner A sled pushes Partner B to the half field mark.  Flapjack to opposite goal line.  Run AYG to original goal line.

It was during the last rock exercise, Bridges said “Enough of this Flintstone $&#!”.  That’s when I realized we needed to put the rocks back.

Indian run from the soccer field to the back of the stadium stands.  Slow mosey to the bleachers to take in the following:

• 15 jump-ups
• 20 dips
• 20 incline merkins

Run up the stadium steps, along the top level, back down the next flight of steps and repeat the above.  Once repeated, run up the stadium steps, along the top level, back down the final flight of steps.

Mosey to the track for one lap of Catch Me If You Can with 10 LBCs as the “resting” exercise.  Once finished with lap, plank exercises a la Gummy.

Run AYG from stadium entrance to parking lot gate.

Final Mary in parking lot:

• 20 Rosalitas
• 20 Heels to Heaven
• 1 minute of Protractor

Moleskin:

I love this site.  There are so many great places to mix up the workout and it is easy to get slightly spoiled at such a beautiful campus.  That said, the group of men who show up is what tops it so thanks for letting me lead today!  Great effort by everyone.  Welcome FNG Bono and fantastic work for your inaugural showing!  We look forward to seeing you again.  Simba, way to churn out those rock exercises and lead the runs back across the field.  Tesla, thanks for a great take out.  Lastly, thanks pax for not giving me too hard of a time for writing names and announcements on a pink scrap piece of paper from my car.  I am an idiot for forgetting my phone.  I’m just happy it wasn’t a coloring book page from “Frozen” or something even more damning.

Announcements:

– F3 Dads this Saturday at Freedom park (Metro) and Colonel Beatty Park (South) at 9:00.
– One more week left for Mudrun sign-ups. See the F3 site for registration.
