Preamble:
Looking for a new spot to hit some hills. A Google search and a confirmation on onthego.com set us up for a new hill. There is also an ample supply of round rocks at NLB right now…
Warm-O-Rama:
Run to the top of the parking lot, 10 Merkins. Run to the bottom for:
- SSH
- Weed Pickers
- Imperial Walkers
The Thang:
Everyone grab two “brick size” rocks from the pallet of stones. Some PAX (Nacho) went a bit heavy. Having grabbed rocks we ran out the back gate and one road to the left to Meadow Lane which has no meadow and is a bit more than a lane. But it does provide a 6% grade for about 460 meters round trip to the bottom and back.
The Thang was that we kept the rocks in our hands for the whole workout. Running and exercises. 3 sets of each exercises, Tabata style and then a run to the bottom and back.
- Rock Cross (standing lateral raise)
- Single Leg Rock Press (4 rounds alternating legs)
- Rock Merkins with Forward Raise (Merkins, left arm, merkin right arm)
- Single Leg Alternating Front raise
- Rock Upright Rows Elbow High
- Skull Rock Crushers
- Single Leg Rock Curl to Press
- Rock Squats
- Lunge position (hold) Rock Twist L/R
- Single Rock American Hammers
We made it through 5 exercises before it was time to run back. Back at the bball court squats for the 6.
COT:
Prayers for those with sick loved ones and those recovering from injury.

Naked-Man Moleskin:
Sometimes you don’t want to get up. Sometimes you are just tired. Or don’t feel like it. Those are the days you post for the man to your left and right. Often, those are the days that a brother opens up to you and bares his soul and shares his troubles. The day you get to help an FNG through a first workout. And then another brother shares what is troubling him. This happened to me last week. Three different men needed my presence. Suddenly you know you are where you are supposed to be! We post not only for ourselves but for our brothers as well. Who will you be there for this week?
