/in /by

Best mumble chatter in SouthWake.
FNGs: None, but one visitor here for a soccer tournament.
Warm Up: SSH, SFAC, Overhead Clap, Michael Phelps, Good Mornings, Squatted Moroccan Night Clubs, IP, & HBs.
The Workout: Straight for the wall of pain. With a rotation of Balls to the Wall and People’s chair. Had to make sure we through in some Australia Ass Smackers for the new guy. To which he responded, “who came up with those.”

Pax were then instructed to get a “respectable” rock with some clear variations on what is respectable means. For rock rotations we focused on TUT (Time Under Tension). Cadence represented 1/2 the move so everyone slowed down and focused on form. Curls for the Girls, Overhead Triceps press, Overhead Press, Rut Rows, Ground Pounders, Chest Press.

We then broke into twos. 1st Pax plank holds while the rock is set on their back. 2nd Pax sprints to the speed bump and back. Rinse and repeat three times.

we wrapped up the work out with bear crawl rock drags from one speedbump to the other.  Pax deposited rocks and return to the show flag for Mary

Mary: LBCs, heal taps, H2M, Giant Cockroach, Crab Cakes.
