So the combination is… one, two, three, four, five?



So the combination is… one, two, three, four, five?

17 showed up today for Dark Helmet’s much anticipated and highly marketed debut Q at The Brave. At 0515 (not 0500) we launched straight to ludicrous speed and this is what followed.

 

From Dark Helmet:

Thanks for the invite to come out. I will be back, and I may even be willing to Q again if you’ll have me… You SOBs get it. It’s a great group of guys. At any rate, here is the BB for today. Post as you see fit…

Q AT THE BRAVE 12-01-17
Quick Mosey down Conlan Circle to front of Duckworth’s
Warm up Part 1:
-Windmills x 10
-Low slow squats x 15
-Burpees x 10

Quick Mosey down Conlan to BT Medical, then cross BT Commons and head up to the bottom level of the “legal” Parking Deck
Warm up Part 2:
-Mountain Climbers x 15
-Had more planned, but we were warm enough, so we skipped it…

The rest of this will be AMRAP with a Partner – size always matters

Round 1 –
At each level of the deck stop and do:
-10 Partner Derkins (each partner)
-10 Jump Squats
-10 Flutters (each left leg = 1)
-Down the stairs at the far end to the bottom

Round 2:
-Partner Carry up 1 level, switch – until level 4
-Run to top and do 20 merkins by the stairs, then back down to the bottom

Round 3:
-Bear Crawl one ramp, backwards run the other to the top
-10 burpees, and back down to the bottom

Round 4 –
-Find the truck with the cinderblocks
-Each Pax will do 50 curls, then run to the top with the block
-Each does 50 more curls, then leave the brick and head to the bottom down the stairs

Round 5 (rest round):
-20 LBCs each at bottom
-Run to top
-50 Overhead Press with block (each pax)
-Overhead Carry (or normal if too smoked) to bottom down the stairs
-Put the brick back in the truck

REPEATO until 0610-ish
Mosey back to COT

Shockingly, Dark Helmet (the king of gab) provided no mumblechatter (moleskin) so YHC will leave a few thoughts. Any more definitely welcome in the comments.

First, a big thank you to DH for coming northbound to lead (and to Jedi for coming with him). It’s not a short trip for these guys and it’s always a little intimidating leaving familiar turf to lead a bunch of dudes you don’t see that often. Really appreciate your leadership. AMRAP is always welcome at The Brave, and cinderblocks are terrible so nicely done. We may have come in a little shy of the unofficial 4 mile minimum, but we got closer than the time Flipper made us do that thing that time so I would call it a win. Plus, it’s got to be a rule somewhere that partner carry miles count double.

Pretty sure that Mario, Doc, Squid and Tuck were the only ones who got the chance to do any “REPEATO.” Frasier would have been up there, but he was kind enough to hang back with an injured YHC (his other option was to partner carry Dark Helmet so not sure if it was kindness or survival instinct). Cobbler continues to pick the toughest workouts and is improving every day — impressive stuff. Also, Frehley’s and Fireman Ed’s Clemson bro-ness is borderline nauseating.

That’s all I got for a Friday.
