After enjoying Bastille for multiple months, YHC was looking for a similar neighborhood workout in the Northern Province. Turns out YHC moved into such a neighborhood. The brainstorming began and out shot #TheRock. A chill was in the air…no better time to soft launch.
Warmup:
Moseyed to the traffic circle
- SSH x 20
- Good Morning x 10 cadence count
- Arm Circles x 10 , Reverse x 10
- WMH x 10 cadence count
The Thang
- Hill #1
- Partner Carry Up, Air Squats at the top x 20, sprint down, Burpees at the bottom x 10
- Other partner becomes dead weight, rinse and repeat
- Mosey to Park.
- Park
- Split into 2 groups, 1st group People’s Chair and 2nd group picnic table Dips x 20 cadence count. PC followed Dip count.
- Switch, rinse and repeat.
- Same groups mosey to playground and soccer field.
- Each set of partners completes Pull-Ups x 20 and Merkins x 50. While one partner pulls and pushes up, the other partner runs the length of the soccer field to the opposite soccer goal and back, switch until Pull-Ups and Merkins complete.
- Mosey to Hill #2
- Hill #2
- A downhill descent that taunts you with the knowledge that a steep uphill ascent awaits.
- Wheelbarrow down Hill #2 switching at the half-way point ending at a harmless looking bridge.
- Bridge
- YHC appreciates the growing trend in the Northern Province of utilizing the human canopy for extensive shoulder work. YHC obliged.
- Human canopy was built, last man inch-wormed his way to the front of the line.
- Rinse and repeat for the entirety of the Bridge.
- Hill #3
- Hill #3 for which #TheRock was built.
- One at a time, a PAX sprinted to the summit.
- The waiting PAX at the bottom performed another Northern Province staple – the Monkey Humper. Not to leave out the PAX that conquered the summit, each PAX at the top of Hill #3 also performed Monkey Humpers until each PAX arrived.
