I got ya gear right here

It’s no secret. Me and gear go together like oil and water. I need it but I don’t want it. Overdrive is now fully a gear and run workout. And Site Qs confirmed rocks count as gear so here we go….

The Thang

Run up to the Outland shovelflag field with the virtual shovelflag firmly planted.

Off to the rock pile we go.

Instructions to grab a rock your M would be proud of. Should need both hands to carry it. Not a running rock. Spielberg blatantly ignored this and went for the largest pebble he could find.

Jack Webb with rock presses instead of air presses. I found out that I completely screwed myself with a rock my #soccerarms couldn’t handle. We went up to 7. That’s all I had. Q what you can do.

Partner up w/ P1 running to the metal stand thing about 100 yards away and back while P2 AMRAP rock exercises and then flapjack twice.
Exercises:
Curls
Triceps
Then we walked about 50 yards holding the rocks above our heads (my M who works in trauma research cringed about this later on – #notaprofessional). Lunge walk back with rocks.
Hold rock straight out as long as you can while partner runs

Jack Webb ladder down starting where we finished the ladder up at 7. Just awfulness here.

Mosey back to the covered shelter and sadly realized I could have easily gotten another P1/P2 rock exercise flapjack in.

Nevertheless, we did a rotation of merkin 6 inch holds followed by supermans. These were obnoxiously longer than they should have been. No clue on how many rotations of these we did. Does it really freaking matter at this point? My arms hated me already.

DONE!

I think it was Spielberg that took us out. My mind was already thinking about how could I possibly lift my fork to my mouth at Accountability breakfast so I was gone.

I got way too big of a rock. I regretted that really quickly during the ladder up Jack Webbs.
On the flip side, I need this junk. I just don’t like to admit it.
It was tough work out there. The rocks your M would be proud of did their job. Well, except for Spielberg’s pebble. He should have ran with it as it fit perfectly in his arm like a football. Two hands should mean that it takes two hands to carry it not that you can easily switch between both hands to carry it.
I had warned you might want to double glove this one. HB thought I was crazy. HB complained the loudest about his cold fingers. Trust your Q. I learned the lesson on rocks and cold the hard way the Saturday before at Commitment.
I really sort of screwed up on timing. Thought the run back might take a little longer. I had planned diamond merkins with your hands on your rock. Or in Spielberg’s case, on the ground with his rock in the middle of the diamond.
Dare I say I sort of enjoyed this. Ok, I repent of that statement.
Thanks for letting me lead!

That sucked… In a good, I probably need that kind of way.

I complained when my fingers were cold, I stopped complaining when they went completely numb then complained again when they started to hurt and I questioned at what point should I get medical attention for frost bite.

But by time we made our way back for Mary they were better so basically I just whined like a baby for a while for nothing.

I wisely loaded up on the pebble. I like to use my arms over the weekend!
