Flying Harbor Freight Grinder



Flying Harbor Freight Grinder

I wish I was making this up, but I’m not… but more on that later.  YHC arrived at RZ a little early and while I was sitting in my truck I felt almost like Mr. Burns developing a conniving plan of dastardly deeds.  You see, I hadn’t Q’d (or posted for that matter) at Rock Zero in months and it was important I effectively reminded the PAX just how twisted and dark my imagination truly could be… little did I know I wouldn’t even take 3rd place for darkness on this day… but more on that later.  At precisely 0700, YHC delivered a half hearted disclaimer to 11 other PAX and commenced our shuffle towards COP.

The THANG:

SSH, 1 burpee OYO, IW, 2 Burpee OYO, LSS, 3 Burpee OYO, Mtn Climber, 10 merkins, Peter Parker, 10 Merkins, Parker Peter, 4 Burpees OYO

At some point OT showed up to make our number 13, and off we went to the hot box.

Peoples chair w/ Alternating Knee Lifts IC, Balls to the Wall, People’s chair w/ right then left static hold, Balls to the Wall, People’s Chair w/ Air Presses, Balls to the Wall.

5 Burpees OYO

Mosey around to the picnic tables for table sets of Lil Hazes, Dips and Derkins of various amounts alternating with running to trash cans in sequence for matching number of burpees (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.)

Mosey to grassy knoll, 6 Burpees OYO, Elevator – Bear Crawl Merkin series

Mosey to rock pile, 7 burpees OYO, pick a partner and a rock then walk to nearby parking lot.

Catch me if you can with one partner doing sets of 40, 30, 20 and then 10 merkins while other partner Lungester Walked (lunge each leg then thruster w/ rock).

8 Burpees OYO.  Catch me if you can with 20, 15, 10, 5 jump squats while other partner counter-rotation lunge walks w/ rock.

Return rocks, mosey back to grassy knoll for more elevator-bear

Mosey back to hot box for 20 step ups, 20 dips, 20 incline merkins & then peoples chair and B2W

Mosey back to launch for lil bit o Mary and then 10 burpees to seal the deal

Finished

 

Mooooooleskinny:

For those paying attention, its MarchMadness, and therefore Flipper Qs merkins.  The idea for today was to make lifting anything at or above shoulder height for the remainder of the weekend nearly impossible.  Sound off below if YHC failed his goal.

During one of the HotBox sets YHC overheard a conversation regarding crappy harbor freight power tools which included “remember when I threw the flaming grinder out the window?”  And “You can put a cat through a wet saw”. I wish I was kidding but… #horsehead

Apparently YHC has an intimidating cadence count voice as several PAX seemed driven to provide color commentary which was borderline degrading to my gorgeous baritone, nice try fellas, I will not be swayed.

Alf seemed to object to the shoulder focused weinke.  In part this was due to his REALLY REALLY STRENUOUS self inflicted sandbag workout from Friday.  I suppose the other part was the 420 merkins I “made him” do at WAMRAP on Wednesday.  #you’rewelcome

It was awesome to see BLC, Hammer, Floorslapper, Slingshot and other RZ regulars again, especially as “certain people” modified their way through the second half of the workout.  Horsehead was also there.  He clearly has inspired Boonedock to be more inane than he is.  #winningatlife

In all seriousness I was incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to lead these fine men into the gloom this morning, thank you as always to Hoover and Geraldo for their leadership, and their willingness to allow my shenanigans at their site.  #oldmanagement

5 Meatheads joined us for COT and the takeout.
