Climbing the mountain without the elevation gain
All Rolling Stone BackblastsJuly 19th, 2018
YHC rode in carrying the shovel flag to see a few Pax waiting. As the shovel flag is planted, a traffic jam with a standoff between the remaining Pax and a lady walking her dog ensues. Eventually it all gets sorted out so that the dog can get its exercise and the Pax can join the workout.
Watch strikes 5:30 so Disclaimer that we will be covering many types of terrain including concrete, asphalt, gravel, sand, grass and tar. Wheels immediately turning in everyone’s head as to how this is going to happen. Let’s mosey.
Quick stop at entrance to the Double Lizard Greenway for monkey humpers x 10 in cadence. Chance to wait for any late arriving Pax (no takers); chance to impress/scare any innocent cars driving by (no takers); chance for YHC’s GPS to get going (done).
Let’s mosey to the big rock at HRMS for Warmarama
- Side straddle hop x 25 IC
- Slow windmill x 10 IC
- Cotton pickers x 10 IC
- Merkin medley
- Regular x 5 IC
- Left hand forward, right hand back x 5 IC
- Flapjack x 5 IC
Mosey to the track for the Thang
- Time to climb the mountain. Run width of field then 10 mountain climbers on your own. Back to starting side for 20 mountain climbers. Keep crossing field until you complete 100 mountain climbers.
- And now we have to go back down the mountain. Run across the field, 10 bunny hops over the line of your choice. Back to starting side for 20 bunny hops. Keep going until you complete 100 bunny hops.
- Lap around the track to get the calf muscles loosened up.
- Find a dry patch of grass as the sprinklers have turned on for a 2 to 5 ladder of Jack Webbs.
- Mosey to a wall along the middle school. People’s chair while each Pax does 3 burpees and continue down the line.
Mosey back to AO for Mary
- Little baby crunch x 25 IC
- Low flutter x 25 IC
- Mason twist x 30ish (or just whenever you feel like stopping apparently)
- Recover, Recover
Announcements
- HDHH at Johnny Brusco’s tonight. 1930/2000 start or whenever you get there. Usually lasts until 2130 or so.
- Heatstroke with Q at M3 tomorrow. Will be a repeat of something Pox already ran.
Prayers
- Heatstroke’s dad as he continues to recover.
- Marie Callender’s mom as she continues her battle.
- All those recovering from injury and illness, and those traveling.
- Not mentioned but should be remembered is Project as he tackles the HTL this weekend. Way to represent!
Moleskin
- Thanks for playing along fellas. Wasn’t sure how that would work out. Just the right amount of suck for me. I wouldn’t haven complained had those sprinklers turned on about 5 minutes earlier.
- I think we encountered all the surfaces provided for in the disclaimer. Sugar even added some mulch for good measure. Next time I’ll be sure to include bricks and wooden railroad ties as well.
- Should have extended that Jack Webb count a bit. I just remember the last time I put those into a workout and went way too high with the count and everybody was beat.
- Tclaps to Soprano for the personal jailbreak run back to the AO. Impressive improvement over the few short months you have been here. Leading the way!
- I’m a bit concerned what happened to everyone on those mason twists. Going strong and then I look around and everyone is stopping. I was just trying to get us to 6:15, wanted to make sure you got the full 45 minutes. #NotHere4Easy

Good beat down.
Yeah, about those mason twists…it’s more of a core exercise than an arm exercise. I saw form dropping off. As for myself, my feet weren’t off the ground around count 8.
100% core. Good form would be feet off the ground. I prefer feet next to each other and not crossed. One leg tends to hold the other leg up a little when crossed.
Also shoulders should become near perpendicular to legs and hands touching ground on each side. Most people count too fast for this extended range of motion though.
Solid JB! Let’s be real, you were just going for the Q-drenaline victory with the mason twists to wait for everyone to tap out, which you did:) Getting over 30 IC is more than a few. Good call on the prayer request for Project this weekend for his HTL!
