Cotton Picker X 10 (IC)

Low Slow Squat X 10 (IC)

The Thang:

After suggesting the idea of a staircase-like “ladder” to Tuck a few weeks back, he happily named it the Mario Ladder in his BB. For lack of a better term, I rolled with it on this fine morning. Idea is do exercise #1, then #1 & #2, followed by #1, #2, & #3, repeato until all 10 rounds are completed. This mornings 10 rounds included:

1. Lap around Loch Ness
2. 10 X 180° jump squats
3. 10 X Heels to Heaven
4. 10 X Dips
5. 10 X Merkins
6. 10 X Carolina Dry Docks
7. 10 X Freddie Mercury
8. 10 X Curls with patio chairs
9. Bear crawl length of patio
10. 10 X Pull-ups on parallel bars at the fitness trail.

Naked Moleskin:

Everything was hunky dory until the rain started pouring during round #9. I mean there was no rain, and then there was all the rain. MT made the comparison to being water boarded, which was a pretty accurate comparison though not having been water boarded before. Don’t want to know for sure.

Sticking with MT, he was yelling something about Outback’s dirt…or di… you know it really doesn’t matter. He also suggested to double up on the exercises and do 20 during the 10^th round, which hurt extra good. However, he was NOT seen completing the bear crawl (nor his modified gorilla crawl) back across the patio.

Just when Wild Turkey started becoming a regular at The Brave again, he announces the return of Fight Club. Probably best for YHC, as WT may jump out of nowhere with a right hook or an attempt at a take down. Farewell WT, see you when it gets cold!

Rachel has his first Brave Q coming up on 5/19, and it’s one you won’t want to miss. Dude likes to stick around and give you company while you think you’re killing it, then he hits the next gear and you just can’t keep up. Sleeper pick at Savage (only because he doesn’t talk the same $#!T that Tolkien does).

Haven’t seen Outback in a while, so good to see him back at The Brave again. Hung in there through the entire workout despite some injury and an unusual amount of road rash. Sometimes the questions are better left unasked. Also see above comment about him and MT’s conversations. #hearnoevil

Mario, out.
