Possum Trot -Fun with Rocks

Pax of 17 came out to PT in the gloom this morning

Warm up:

SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Good mornings, Fazio Arm Circles, arm stretches and a warning that you’ll need them

The Workout:

All Pax grab a rock and line up on one side of the road

11’s with the rock (brief pause and move away from the houses)

1 merkin with left arm on the rock, bear crawl push the rock to the other side and do 10 squats with the rock, carry the rock back across.  2 merkins with right arm on the rock, bear crawl push the rock to the other side for 9 rock squats.  Rinse and repeat etc.  As always, PICK UP THE 6 when done.

Jog back to the warmup circle and set the rocks down

Set my phone as a marker for the point position who gets to call a 10 count of whatever rock exercise they’d like.  After each 10 count, put the rock down and rotate to the right until a full 17 man rotation is complete.

return the rocks and head to the courts for Mary

Mary:

Circle up for a similar circuit, each pax gets a 5 count of their choice.  Some chose to do a 5 count of 5 count merkins (25 total).  Ended up doing 150 merkins in the regular workout, some pax did EC with 30 more after the workout for good measure.  Q and Pax were sufficiently smoked at the end of the workout.

Announcements:

Pain truck next week at PT, Wrangler will have his VQ the following week at PT, PT is cancelled on the 4th of July in favor of supporting the convergence.

100 mile ride on Saturday – see Double D if you can make it

Prayers – I closed us in prayer, asked for guidance and to help us be better men, brothers, husbands, and fathers.

Community Suzie Q

PAX of 6 came out and enjoyed the nice cool, disgustingly humid morning

Warm Up:

SSH, IW, HB, Windmills, Good Mornings, Fazio Arm Circles and some stretches

The Workout:

Picnic table merkins, dirkins and irkins x20 with a mix of abs x15

Mosey’d to the rock pile and picked up two rocks (or in R22’s case, boulders) and moved to the picnic tables. Started with Curls for the Girls x15 and an ab exercise and moved to the next rocks in line. Each PAX called a rock exercise to lead with abs/merkins twice around the horn.

Finished with 177 Merkins.

Mary:

Around the horn for Mary: Burpees, LBC, Dying Cockroach, more Merkins, and some more that I cannot recall!

Announcements:
Discussion on the great time PAX had at the Day in the Park and hope that it will be an annual event.

Prayers:  DoubleD nephew – back home and at his old job. R22 brother diagnosed with Huntington’s Chorea.
