YHC doesn’t do a good enough job of checking Slack and missed the post about The Deep being on the Summer Tour list for this week, so was indeed surprised to only see Senior Frog’s truck in the lot upon arrival. 5:30 arrived and we were off…..
To the parking lot with the blocks because that’s the newest fad at Hoedown. YHC ran us through a quick disclaimer and COP, halfway through which we were joined by Saltlick. The three of us grabbed some blocks, did some manmakers, and proceeded to hot potato the Q after every exercise to keep it interesting.
After we grabbed the blocks YHC said, “Any ideas on something new or different we can do with these blocks?” Senior Frog smiled and said, “Follow me.” At his direction we then rifle carried to the Rite Aid parking lot, and during the walk YHC was eagerly anticipating whatever Senior Frog was cooking up in his head. But when we got there, the “New and Unique” thing that Senior Frog had cooked up, was simply to go to the Rite Aid parking lot…….”I’ve never worked out here with blocks before”. Fair enough.
Saltlick’s turn…..rifle carry over to the Tuckahoe Shopping Center and do some exercises in the lot. Rifle carry back to Rite Aid and do lunges, curls, and block swings across the lot. Rifle carry back to the original lot and do a bunch of manmakers, more lunges, overhead presses, sit and press, more rifle carry…….at one point Senior Frog said, “I’m really smoked from all those rifle carries…..let’s do some more.” Copy that.
We were all sufficiently smoked by the end, returning the blocks to the pile and moseying back to the VSF for some Mary before numberama, namerama, and YHC took us out with prayers for Senior Frog’s friend Bob who has throat cancer and Saltlick’s family as they navigate a difficult development.
Enjoyed it today fellas. That was one of the tougher workouts I’ve done recently.
Never stop chasing the wabbit.
