FNGs: None

Warm Up:  Planted flag after meeting LipSync in the parking lot.  He has HC’d in his famous way on FB after my pre-blast targeted PAX who had fart sacked or was pondering doubling-down in the evening.  He ran a mile before meeting us at the flag.  Fanny Pack showed up and was ready to get to work after having a tough day at work.  Mental note made to bring the heat.  Rams strolled in with shoe laces that needed more tying after I told him we would be running around the soccer pitch.  It was getting close to 7PM and no sign of Pikachu had HC’d.  With 30 seconds to spare, Pikachu strolled in with two housemates, Jobs and Doogie.  He convinced them to come out after telling them I had worked out earlier this morning and I was over 50 years old.  Gorgeous night with temps in the high 50’s.  Love wearing shorts in February.  As the clock struck 1900, we were off in a nice mosey around the pitch to the amphitheater.  Mumble chatter was great.  The PAX were ready.   20 reps or in cadence were the trend identified by clever PAX after completing 20 SSH, 20 Daisy pickers and 20 Don Quixotes.  More 20’s with seal claps, overhead claps and sir Fazio arm circles (F/B).

The Workout: Took advantage of the offerings at the amphitheater and conducted 20 ic BTTW, 20 People’s Chair, 20 merkins, 20 step ups (L/R), 20 hanging over the edge WWIIs, 20 monkey humpers.  Added 20 shoulder taps and 20 squats.  Took a rest on the mosey to the path and began an Indian run to the rock pile.  PAX were asked to grab a rock they would be comfortable doing multiple reps.  Some rocks were bigger than others.  Gathered in the parking lot, each PAX found a parking space and got ready for the high tempo rock workout.  First exercise – a PAX favorite, 10 curls for the ladies.  Drop rock.  Hit the parking space curb with 10 step ups in cadence.  Back to the rock.  10 Overhead presses.  Back to the curb. 10-step ups ic.  Back to the rock for 10 rut-rows.  Hmmm, back to the curb for step-ups.  Back to the rock for bus drivers.  Changed things up and had PAX execute 10 erkins from the curb.  Back to the rocks for Ground Pounders.  I was reminded they do not count if you don’t hit the ground.  Set the rock aside and had PAX do build a bears with a merkin on each side of the curb.  Called an audible and had PAX get on their six with rock on their chest.  This is where I really challenged the PAX with continuous arm/chest movements with the rock.  Lats would be tested.  The following exercises were completed:  10 chest presses, 10 bent arm or straight arm curls, rock above chest for 20 ic with feet 6 inches off ground.  Rinse and repeat three times.  FUN.  On the last repeato, added a 45 degree for extra credit.  On our feet and had PAX John Cusack to the far end of the parking lot.  Set the rock down for 20 toe taps ic, followed by 20 Simbas.  Arms were burning.  Demonstrated the plank slap rock exercise and executed 20 of them.  Had PAX push their rock a few spaces.  Love the smell of rock on pavement. Executed 10 rock up and over on each side of shoulder.   Added 20 goblet squats.  Checked the watch and noticed we had less than 11 minutes left.  Time flies when you are having fun.  Our inner kids came out as we returned the rocks seeing who could get the most sparks.  Tie between Pikachu and Dauber IMO.  Line up on the path and mosey to the tennis courts for Mary.

Mary:  Congratulated PAX for a giving 100% during the workout.  While executing yoga moves, downward dog and pigeon, Dauber talked about the week and how we could be better men at home, at work, etc.  Spent a lot of time on the right side to the chagrin of the PAX and switched it up to the other side.  More stretching and more discussion/thoughts shared.
