Pyramids at The Rock


On this dark morning, one that was warmer than most in recent past,  5 men (Nymph, Crack, Honeymoon, Motorboat, and Manhands–rucker) gathered early to run/ck themselves silly.  Following that, 9 more men showed up, having crawled out of that oh so warm bed, grabbed their iron to let IT sharpen them and their brethren.  How would this occur?  Well…..here's the story.

Warm ups: Mozy, high knees, butt kickers, R/L karaoke, into the noted COP (IC) SSH 20, 1 Burpee, IST 15, 2 Burpees, Cotton Pickers 10, 3 Burpees, Little man in the Woods 15, 4 burpees.  At this point, Nymph formally asked if we would be picking up the heavy objects in front of us.  Affirmative.

The Thang: Pyramids (you know EXACTLY what this is!)

12 of KB swings, skull crushers, mil presses, outhouse curls, squats, upright rows (all w/KB, all IC)

Run to roundabout, 10 incline Mericans IC.

Repeat above with 10, then 8 reps with running to round about for a 'break' with 10 declines and 10 dips (IC).

2nd Set- 10 KB Ribbons, pullovers, bench presses, head to fountain for 10 inclines.  Repeat with 8, then to fountain for 10 declines.  

Mary was worked into the fold, as Nymph requested low flutters be added to the final set of bench presses.  Box Cutters and Cutter Boxes (12 each IC) were added along with a 6" hold and 5 Low Dolly's were added for good measure.

Moleskine:

-It's great when the pax starts complaining about 30 seconds into the mozy about the excessive running.

-This Q was designed to focus on all areas of the body, hope it accomplished those goals.

-Kudos to Manhands for solo rucking and the runners for pregaming for about 2.5 miles.

-Manhands' mumblechatter was early and often, ranging from questioning the validity of a specified exercise, innappropriateness of the placement of the burpees within the Q, the Q's height, the Q's job, and it was only finished upon his departure.  Bless……

-A few left early today, although I am sure several others wanted to, but THREE (3) stayed late for Coffeeteria sponsored by Funny Bone, great 2nd F.

-Declines….eh, sorry about that:-/

-Thanks LW for the reigns.

-Awesome to see the 'Old School' RC Crew out today.  All three Founders were present Big Mean, Crack and Chief, along with Dewey and Mailman out strong again and getting it done, nice work!
