Rock of Ages

A handsome 8-PAX rolled into a balmy 50’s and breezy Huge Bells to follow a sleeveless Q into the gloom rockin out the top songs from 30 years ago. Key Takeaways:  Dealer likes to hold small things to make his hands look bigger. Machinehead’s side hustle is a messenger angel. Blank Space admiringly noted he’s never been to an AO with both hot coffee and music to follow. Snuff can’t be beat at KB rep speed. And here’s the meat of the story:

The THANG: 

WARMERAMA: 

  • Breathless run around the knollercoaster
  • Circle up an put on the music – top hits from 30 years ago (1985)
  • Welcome & Disclaimer
  • Warm-up Reps – a few IC without KB’s, then not IC but with the KB’s – completely randomly made up by YHC on the fly

LIGHTPOLE ALLEY:

  • Mosey down to the Culdesac stopping at each of 12 lights to complete reps. Alternate every other light doing x5 reps of Side Swings (ea side) and x5 reps of Racked Side Lunge (ea side).

CULDESAC RING OF FIRE:

  • Circle up for variable KB reps called by each successive PAX around circle
  • Long mosey back to the base of Love Hill

LOVE HILL C.M.I.Y.C:

  • Partner up, each partner completes each round exercise before moving to next round
  • Round 1 – P1 walks backwards up hill holding KB overhead while P2 completes x10 KB swings then runs to catch up and switch
  • Round 2 – P1 lunges up hill with KB racked in front while P2 completes x10 WWII Sit&Press then runs to catch up and switch
  • Round 3 – P1 bear crawl drags KB up hill while P2 completes x10 Squat Thrusters

25’s:

  • Stop at each lightpole to complete x25 reps, first to 25 calls it quits for all – basically Snuff finished first every time…

COT:

  • Counterama # 8
  • Namerama
  • Announcerama (see Below)
  • BOM Prayer

NMS:  Awesome group this morning for a very unseasonably warm workout. YHC was gonna play the top hits from 2025, but was so disgusted by the playlist we went back 30 years instead – ended up reminiscing about an hilarious movie from 2012 “Rock of Ages” – gotta see it. PAX got a decent swolt by the end of lightpole alley, and the other COP’s were a decent challenge as well. Snuff takes home the prize for finishing first on all the 25’s – just grateful we didn’t do 25 KB Burpees! Dealer’s lumberjack hands look massive holding the tiniest Yeti coffee mug you’ve ever seen. Bring your kids to New Years Convergence – maybe we’ll set up a 2.0 fight club after. Yours AYE! ~DTH
