Dante’s Inferno meets The Murph

Dante’s Inferno meets The Murph

5 PAX mocked the one hour mark as it moseyed on past them this morning at the infamous Black Diamond workout, which hopefully become revitalized. Some felt as it was starting to die out, so YHC made his best attempt to #smoke any PAX brave enough to take it on. The name has absolutely nothing to do with the workout. #enjoyitthough

Warm Up:

Mosey around the main level, then down the ramp to the basement level. Starting at the bottom, run up the ramp, 20 squats. Run across deck to bottom of the next ramp, 20 merkins, up the ramp to the top level, 10 burpees. Now that’s a warm up.

Tha Thang:

PAX circled at the bottom of the ramp to the top deck, and awaited instruction. Plan was to complete the following, in a round form, adding the next move each round. Round 1, #1. Round 2, #1 & #2. Etc.

1. 10 Jump Squats
2. Push-Up Ladder (Alternating wide arm and diamond merkins inside each rung of agility ladder)
3. 10 Reverse Burpees
4. Traverse across Metal beams
5. Sprint halfway up deck ramp
6. Bear crawl back down ramp
7. 10 Curls
8. 10 Military Press
9. Dragon Walk
10. Burpee Pull-ups (burpee, grab beam on the jump, pull-up)

Got half way through, and YHC remembered the weight plates that were still chillin in the bed of the truck, so the PAX took a short mosey around to the cars to grab those, and continued on through.

PAX, winded from the above, moseyed back to the cars to pick up some sandbags and extra plates, and headed across the parking lot outside the cave where YHC had stashed a couple MORE COUPONS!

5 PAX, 5 stations. Time was on station one, so rotate down as it was completed.

1. 40 ft sled pull with 40-100 lbs.
2. 85 lb bucket carry
3. Sled push (No clue of the weight on this one, but not an easy task)
4. 85 lb bucket carry (#crowdpleaser)
5. 45 lb hairburner

After two cycles of the above, YHC decided that was enough, and wanted to throw in one more horrible favorite of his. PAX moseyed back to the cave, and into the stairwell. BACKWARDS BEAR CRAWL UP THOSE STAIRS!! (thanks MT!) Derkins on the top to wait for the 6 (not because anyone was dragging, just one at a time up the stairs).

To finish, Sprint down the ramp, 10 Burpee Cannonball Pull-ups (knees up to chest, back parallel to ground, then pull up), and sprint back to the top.

Mary!

Naked Moleskin:

After Mr. Bean took a spill on Tuesday, BD was in need of a Q before it fell back off the map. YHC, being the only PAX to not miss one as of the recent re-launch, thought it the only way to keep the streak live. To celebrate an accomplishment that means nothing at all, YHC wanted to bring something extra to the table. Instead, he brought 15. As in minutes. And a whole lot of weight. Original plan was to have a “9 layers of hell” Dante’s Inferno style workout using the deck, but had second thoughts on pushing sleds and plates across the deck. The Murph was a backup plan that was waived thanks to the IL boys. Thus, you get the BB name. #doesntcount

First of all, Shout outs to JRR Tolkien and Fire Hazard (both hobbling around) for the donation of all the coupons, and Tolkien’s truck to haul them all around! No scratches were applied to the truck. #noworries

The PAX gathered around the cars, and considered splitting up to find Pebbles, who YHC believes is still tapering for the half marathon he ran last week. Due to this, there was actually little poking of the Panda this morning. The PAX was obviously grateful crushed from his coupons. There was a ton of controversy around the order of the “10 for 10” portion of today’s BD. YHC thought long and hard, but not sure there was actually a good order for them #suckednomatterwhat

Thin Mint has caught the SOB bug, and has become a regular in recent weeks. He crushed it all morning, as the rest of the PAX were chasing him for the whole 75 minutes. Look forward to his VQ, as he’ll be at Q school this weekend. Keep up the strong work brother!

Ringer and One Niner, both off strong weight vest finishes (neither of wish needed a dentist visit afterwards) of The Murph yesterday. Had they been tapering with Pebbles, we would have done many more Push-ups, pull-ups, and squats today. #imnotmadthough Luckily, we pushed and carried stuff for quite some time. #morefun

Fire Hazard was a strong 6 today, and only because he’s still #firehobbles. Glad to see you back out brother! Keep working back towards it. We need you to be strong for Asheville (so you dont drink all the beers). Again, thanks for the help with planning and the donation of the coupons.

As always, appreciate the chance to lead, and the commitment of some to come in search for something outside of the box. Look forward to the next!

Announcements:

Ringer takes the next BD.
