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.
