That Was Different – The Brave meets Meat-head.

That Was Different – The Brave meets Meat-head.

13 hearty souls decided to embrace the suck and post at The Brave to start their weekend off right. Everyone left satisfied.

YHC and MT come rolling in with a minute to spare before lunch (after dropping off some toys for later).

Disclaimer was given – off we went.

Follow Me.

Mosey over behind the BofA building on Ballantyne Corporate Pkwy.

Look – there is YHC’s car and what do we have – toys.

50lb sandbag, 80 lb heavy bag, a couple 70 lb kettlebells and whats that – 35 and 25 lb plates

The Thang:

Divide up into groups of 3 (one group of 4)

5 workstations – each group picked a station to start working.
Work continuous for 5 minutes, then on the timer, 30 seconds to switch to the next stations.
Rinse and Repeat – continue to move on to the next station after each 5 minutes interval.

The Stations:

Station 1: Sprint Grinders – Pax 1 at one curb, Pax 2 at the other curb (approx 40 yards away), Pax 3 starts at Pax 1, and sprints to Pax 2 and tags, then Pax 2 sprints back to Pax 1. Continue for 5 minutes

Station 2: Heavy KB farmers carry. Starting at curb 1 Pax carries both 70 lb KBs while Pax 2 and 3 bear crawl along side. Switch out as needed continuing for the 5 minutes.

Station 3: Sand Bag Throw: 1 Pax throw the 50lb sand bag and all 3 Pax bearcrawl to the sandbag. Rinse and repeat between the two curbs for 5 minutes, switching as needed.

Station 4: Heavy Bag Carry: 1 Pax picks up the 80 lb heavy bag and carries it back and forth between the two curbs while Pax 2 and 3 bearcrawl along side. Switch out as needed for 5 minutes

Station 5: Hairburners: all 3 Pax push plates up the hill to the curb and back to the start for the full 5 minutes.

Teams worked for the full 5 minutes at their station, until time called and moved to the next.

We were able to make 8 full cycles before time was called.

Return toys to YHC’s car and quick mosey back to launch. (running at all after Hairburners = unsaviory)

Time enough for slow merkins x 5. Down – hold for 5 seconds, Up hold for 5 seconds = 1.

DONE

NMM

That hurt – tried to bring something new to The Brave to keep everyone on their toes. It didn’t seem to phase anyone – all Pax attacked this workout. Great and solid work by all today.

The small groups allowed for some good 2nd F during the pain circus. Shout out below any funny stories because YHC didn’t hear much outside of his group.

Couple things: Madam can bearcrawl freaky fast – YHC was getting lapped by him. He can do hairburners just about as fast and Firehazard was close behind. Good to see some new faces at The Brave – must be Mudrun season again.

Frehleys is a beast and has to suffer from lots of mumblechatter from YHC when Qing – but to be honest – YHC hopes he is moving like Frehleys does after 50.

Greatwork again by all teams today. It is always an honor and privilage to lead this group on Friday’s. They are always hungry for all the site Q’s throw their way.

Gastonia Launch tomorrow – MT meeting at the Vine at 6 and heading down for anyone interested.
