Pushing the SOBs

Pushing the SOBs

YHC tweeted out yesterday evening that this morning’s workout was designed for men who wanted a little more out in The Gloom, men who wanted that extra push they might not be getting from a normal bootcamp workout. Well, this isn’t a normal bootcamp workout, this is The Brave. A post where men can come to find out what they are made of and I don’t think I disappointed the PAX. 22 SOBs answered the call to be pushed harder this morning.

Here’s what we did:

The Thang:

Mosey to COP (.75 mile) – IW IC X 10, Squats IC X 10, Merkins X 10

Mosey over to the Small Pond (with the bridge) for modified 11s which include running up the hill, 10 merkins at the top, 1 burpee at the bottom and 1 lap around the lake; running up the hill, 9 merkins at the top, 2 burpees at the bottom and 1 lap around the lake; etc… Once you finish your set, meet up with the six and finish their set. (2-2.5 miles depending on the number of laps you did. 0.2 miles per lap around the pond)

Then, mosey over to the bottom of Ben Nevis on Ballantyne Commons for instructions from the Q. (0.25 miles)

Run up Ben Nevis pushing a fast pace, 10 burpees at the top, recover mosey down Ben Nevis to wait for the six, 20 Dips/20 Durkins on the road side guard rail, rinse and repeat. (1 mile)

Head back to the COT (1 mile)

Moleskin:

YHC is headed down to Mexico with the M for a week to celebrate my 10 year wedding anniversary. My goal was to leave a little gift for the PAX to remember me by. That gift, my brothers, was the gift of pain.

The mission of The Brave is to be a run heavy bootcamp. 4-6 miles each Friday plus your fair share of merkins, durkins, burpees, pull-ups, hill runs and LBCs is what every SOB needs to become a well-rounded fitness animal. Are you ready for Beast Mode? Keep posting men.

As always, it was a pleasure leading my SOB brothers in The Gloom.
