This is Spinal Tap
11 PAX made it out to the virgin Q this morning to enjoy a Spinal Tap inspired workout. The new Q even brought a few old faces out in to the gloom for the first time in a while. The weather was perfect even if the hill was a bit soggy. 5:30 came as everyone was milling around. No FNGs. Let’s do this.
Warm Up:
Lap around the baseball fields with high knees and butt kickers sprinkled in. Circle up in front of the basketball court for the warmup
15x SSH
10x windmills
10x Moroccan night clubs
Arm and leg stretches
The Workout:
Mosey to the rock pile where everyone was instructed to get a rock and then John Cusacked to the big hill by the lower baseball field. On the way over those that weren’t familiar with Spinal Tap were told that Nigel Tufnel was know for rock music and an amp that goes to 11. So, with our rocks, we went to do 11s on the hill.
With rocks in hand we start at the top of the hill with turkish get ups and did Bobby Hurleys at the bottom. If anybody’s rock hit the ground they owed 11 diamond merkins on the rock. No one was caught without their rock though so this never came in to play. YHC was glad to hear no mumble chatter and just some grunts and groans as the guys were working out.
Once everyone was done with their 11s we John Cusacked over to the pavillion where we paired up (one group had three) and picked a picnic table. The groups were to take turns doing Roman situps (reverse situps hanging off the edge of the table) with the rocks. Did sets of 10, 15, and 10 switching off between doing the exercise and holding the partners legs. The group with 3 had one member doing WWIIs AMRAP while the other two occupied the table.
Once everyone was done we did a quick set up irkins, dirkins, and dips (rock in laps for an extra challenge) and then headed back to the rock pile to return our rocks.
