Change of plans

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

NMM

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.

Announcements:

Kirk,
Thanks for the audible! That was my first BRR, and I loved it.
My legs were calling for a fart sack, so it was good to get a solid workout without hills.

Great Q Kirk but one correction. I was not a BRR. Guy. But I appreciated the “no hills” call.
