A Tale of the Refuseniks
AYE. 7 hearty souls gathered in the frosty Gloom for the weekly RockZero #RIPDZ beatdown. There was some working out, a lot of complaining, quite a bit of #refuseniking and 100 burpees for some. Here’s more or less what transpired:
THE THANG
Mosey to church porte cochere
Do some exercises and eventually cover 30 burpees
Run back to parking lot by cars for:
THE LEG BREAKER
3 jumpsquats at each parking lot line all the way to Buttermaker’s mom-mobile
AYG back to the line
10x huddle jumps for each leg
Lunge walk to middle, do some baryshnikovs, frog walk the rest of the way and back
AYG back to the line
5x monkey humpers at each line and then 10x for the last few lines
Mosey to bottom of The North Face
Run to the top, do 10 burpees, run to the bottom, do 20 jumpsquats
Repeato 3 times
TRUE 6 MINUTES OF MARY
Gather back at porte cochere for a true 6 minutes of Mary
What does that mean? It means you can’t let your feet touch the ground for 6 minutes while we do exercises
How many guys actually did that? YHC and maybe Flipper and maybe maybe Curd
Someone then asked – “can we run for a little bit?” Sure, so we lapped the church and did 30 burpees along the way
At the bottom of the parking lot we did 5 burpees then true AYG to the mom-mobile
5 more burpees
Some more stuff to kill time and then we were (mercifully) done
100 burpees, 2.2 miles, about a thousand monkeys humped
YE OLDE MOLESKINE
1. Curd busted out an electronic skateboard (of sorts) after the workout and did an incredibly acrobatic controlled fall about 5 seconds into his demonstration. TClaps. $1,400 well spent.
2. Buttermaker straight up refused to do burpees. #highintensitysiteQ
3. Lots of smack talk was appreciated. Alf would have fit right in but he was at home puking his brains out. That’s the only reasonable explanation for why he would bail out on the Q the night before.
Thanks again to the pax for putting up with my challenge to do 100 burpees every day this December. #horseneck OUT

This was an interesting one! One guy (Q) gave the workout 100% and the rest…well everyone excelled in one area or another.
As for failures, there were several:
1) 2 of the members of the pax really need to walk by a mirror (w/ the light on) before heading out. You had to see it but McGee looked homeless. I think he hit the laundry pile and just through random articles on that would keep him warm. Flipper, had on a rainbow of colors, starting with his man tights. I think he hit every color in the spectrum!
2) 100 burpees- Well the call of 100 burpees, I know McGee did them, not sure if anyone else got close
3) Church dude cleaning his windows. You had to see how long that guy scraped and brushed his windows and I think he missed some spots! Someone needed to tell him to warm the car up first.
4) We did a few exercises that reminded me of River dancing. On top of that was when everyone filed out of the church…great demonstration of strength and power.
5) Who knew Flipper was in a Fraternity. Apparently, they did Monkey Humpers to greet each other…or something like that!
6) Prohibition needs a hanky. His snot catcher..I mean beard caught all the good stuff this AM.
7) Lastly, I call myself out. Yes, I paid $1,400 for a grown mans skateboard. Yes, I hate giving “demos”. It takes a warm up period which you all witnessed! The first few mins of any ride are always rough. It is like snowboarding without snow…but I did manage to take several trips around the lot after everyone left. Once I could not feel my thumb on the throttle, it was time to quite!
This was my first Rockzero post….interesting! I am not offered the 0700 post due to my wife and Fia, so hopefully, I will come back soon!
