Get Your Rocks Off

17 of Charlotte’s strongest and most vocal posted at Rebel Yell because you can sleep when you’re dead. The “wierdest” disclaimer was given, including that YHC was trying something new that may be a total Q Fail. Off we went anyway.

COP:

After luring the PAX in with a tame Abe Vigoda (old man style windmill) x 10, we proceeded to get our bodies moving with 8-count Body Builders x 10.

We followed with that always welcomed low slow squat x 10. Then, it was shoulder time:
* Merkins x 10
* Mountain Climbers x 10
* Low (6 inches) plank jack x 10

Bring in some Imperial Walkers to rest your arms. Was going to do 10 but went to 15 because my biceps were still trembling. Then, back to shoulders:
* Molitov merkins x 10 (hands and feet come off the ground on the up stoke)
* Alternating Shoulder Taps x 10
* Side to Side MC’s x 10.

Enough of that. Instructions to mosey to the rock pile at bottom of murderhorn. Then, lassie back for the 6 to form pairs–theoretically fast/slow pairs. Everyone grabs a lifting/running rock. Mosey to the side street at bottom of murderhorn.

Running Rock Work:

Each pair begins with 10 curl/press/skull crushers. Then, 1 pax runs (with rock) to the rock pile and back while other does called exercise. At the flap jack, repeat the 10 curl/press/skulls. Flap Jack the run/exercise. Then, repeat (for 3rd time) the curl/press/skulls. At some point, we cut out the curls to 1 set vs. 3 and we shortened the run a bit. #TimeManagement.

Round 1–left hand on rock merkins
Round 2–right hand on rock merkins
Round 3–some form a squat with the rock (out front, overhead, against your chest, on the ground)
Round 4–Both hands on the rock merkins
Round 5–Money Round. Rockies. #CrowdPleaser

Return Rocks. Mosey back up murderhorn, lassie back for the 6. Proceed to launch. Finished.

Moleskine:

Goonie and Snookie score bonus points for pre-run. The got to pay the price of Frehley’s mumble chatter about being young and sober and trying to show off. #CollegeChampionshipBender. Frehley’s went on to coin a new accounting term–FOLI for first out, last in, referring to the run with the rock. FASB is currently reviewing this new concept and will rule on it sometime in 2019.

Margo set a nice pace with the rock run. When the route was shortened (“somewhere between the 2 street lights”), he kept us honest. He shows great form in spite of spending weeks getting down his Christmas lights. #MustSeeLightShow

Bucky felt a little winded after having chosen his rock unwisely. YHC clearly stated we would be running. Bucky spotted a nice little hand-sized rock. Picking it up, he found it was more of an iceberg, 90% was below the surface. Too ashamed to put it back, he sucked it up and performed admirably. #ShameIsAPowerfulTool.

Loogie, Tool Bag, and Danika have not quite joined the Distance Running Fan Club. Nonetheless, they conquered the Murderhorn and are alive to prove it. Nice work, gents. Danika posts for second time even though he is headed on vacation. #BossIsAlsoAPowerfulTool.

Good to have Brisket and Snookie back out. Brisket thought he may have reverted to FNG status. No such luck. He did show excellent form in the rock work. Tag-Along appeared to have good form too. At least, YHC thinks it was him. My head was hanging low.

T-Claps to Bus Boy, who posted even though he knew we would be running with rocks. #Fortitude

Others (Champagne, Morning After, Strawberry, Big Tuna, Heartbreaker) showed strong performance and minimal mumber chatter directed to the Q. At least, YHC could not hear it. It was minimal and not “non-existent,” as YHC did pick up on a comment from ‘Pagne when Rockies were called.

YHC is proud to have soccer arms, even though i can’t play soccer. Thanks for participating in a little rock work to build our upper bodies. Thanks, Heartbreaker, for chance to lead.
