On a nearly perfect morning in the gloom, fifteen men posted to Carmel Park. Q’s original plan was to run hills, but out of respect for the 3 BRR guys that showed up, I audibled to less running: 3-man grinders with rocks.
The Thang:
Jog the long way around to church parking lot for warm up. SSH & IWs x15.
Run to Carmel Middle. Grab a bench. Dips x25 and Derkins x 15 or 20.
Run around school to rock pile. Form 3-man teams and choose a good sized rock.
3-man grinders – top and bottom of bus parking lot
Exercises at bottom of bus parking lot with rocks:
Squats, Overhead press, curls, Flutter with rock press, Freddy Mercury with rock press, Squat press
Exercises at top:
Merkins, Mountain climbers, LBCs, Lunges, Burpees
Return rocks – while waiting, Boone LBCs x10 each side, SSH x20
Backward mosey to first speed bump / car interruption. Mosey back to Carmel Park.
3 minutes of Mary – LBCs and Freddy Mercury, 1-minute left – 6 inches

With Skywalker still on IR, I picked this up last night, so minimal planning. Original plan had us heading back over to Pellyn Wood, but when I heard that a few guys posted after BRR, that just didn’t feel right. So instead, we ran 3-man grinders with rocks. #youvsyou #paceyourself
That parking lot is just about perfect distance for grinders, and we hit pretty much every muscle group with 2-3 sets of each exercise. Total of only about 2.5 miles.
We had a LIFO on the mosey back when someone turned off onto Thornridge. Shout out in the comments for credit.
