Black Diamond Start to the Week

Black Diamond Start to the Week

YHC was bringing back an oldie but a goodie launching a MONDAY morning Black Diamond from the Original Tomahawk site. We got a short downpour approximately 15min before launch just to slick things down and keep it cool for an early August morning. 3 warriors chose to up the ante and elected to start the week on a high with YHC’ s Black Diamond

Warm-up

• Quick paced loop around the AO and back to launch site
• 20 SSH
• 10 Wind-mill
• 15 Mountain Climbers

The Thang

• Incline merkin “walk” using the curb (apprx 40ft, felt like 100) 20 curb dips at the end
• Incline merkin “walk” with curb jump after each merkin (same 40ft) 20 curb dips at the end
• Incline Diamond merkin “walk” (same 40ft) 20 curb dips at the end
• Heavy bucket carry suicide (advance bucket to first island, drop and sprint back to start line. Run back to bucket at 1st island,pick up and advance to 2nd island. Drop and sprint back to start and repeato to 3rd island…then work the suicide back to start. Rinse and Repeat (x2)
• Mosey over to carpool loop containing 4 pain stations
• Station 1 (10 burpees), run to Station 2 (20 merkins), run to Station 3 (30 curb dips), run to station 4 (40 single count F. Mercury)
• Repeat the same loop, however this was far from the same. This loop would be a building loop…Station 1 (10 Burpees), Station 2 (10 burpees, 20 merkins), Station 3 (10 burpees, 20 merkins, 30 curb dips) finish at Station 4 (10 burpees, 20 merkins, 30 curb dips, 40 F. Mercury) AT THIS POINT Ringer and Fahvra broke a sweat
• Repeat the initial loop…NO building, to the dismay of…NO ONE
• Mosey over to the nicely soaked hill for some Jacob’s Ladder (6counts) – Dive Bomber Merkins (bottom), Air-press (top). Repeat replacing Air-Press with Jump Squats. Repeat replacing Jump Squats with Bomb-Jacks (3x total)
• Finish how you start (1 more set of Inline Merkin Walks – 20 dips at the end)
• 1 last Suicide sprint to wrap things up.

Moleskin

• Strong work by some of IL/SOBs finest – RINGER has taken the next BLACK DIAMOND. Stay tuned on the Ole Tweeter and Slack
• Ringer – the dude is always out there getting after it and crushed the pain station loop putting his head down and knocking through the Burpees and Merkins at blazing speed. Burpee competition, my money is on this guy. Awesome work, thanks for coming out and cannot wait to see what is in store for the next BD.
• Fahvra – I think I finished ahead of him on the warm-up lap…only because he had never been to the AO and had no idea where he was going. I would not pass him up again until I beat him out of the parking lot leaving after the workout this morning. Strong work, I think you can still go hit the chest and tear it up this afternoon in the gym despite 100+ merkins of all shapes and styles this morning

BEWARE – KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE NEXT BLACK DIAMOND

Over and Out – General
