OK – The Brave Pax are for Real

OK – The Brave Pax are for Real

It’s been over 4 years (I think) since Madam Tussauds split off from Centurion and started The Brave.   Lots of friendly kidding back and forth over the years.   Sadly, it was my first trip down given my affection for the other Friday morning workout (and my complete distaste for 1 hour workout on a work day).    Glad I finally made it down as the AO is  awesome and the PAX push hard (even Paper Jam was keeping up this am).    11 men decided to take the DRP and post for my first Q at The Brave.

The Thang:

Fast mosey (some might even call it full run) out of lot and over to parking lot in front of golf pro shop across the street for COP.   SSHX10, Merkins X10, Exploding Merkins X10, Jumping lunges X10 (lots of refusniks on this one).

Run up to the big parking deck next to Van Pelt’s office for some deck work.   Round 1 – Backward run up ramps, merkins at each level (10 at 1 up to 40 at 4 = 100 total for those that need help with math, especially MT), and  sprints on the flats.  Round 2 – Sprint up the ramps, squats at each level (10 at 1 up to 40 at 4 – 100 total), and karaoke on the flats.

Run back past launch point and down to random office building for partner work.  Partner 1 starts on exercises while partner 2 runs a lap and then flap jack.   Team has to do combined 50 burpees, 100, merkins, and 150 squats (veteran Q move to audible from original call of 100, 200, 300 given time constraint).

Jog back to launch point for a few minutes of mary along with 10 imperial walkers and some merkins till the clock runs out.

Naked MS

Got in 4 miles with lots of merkins (or cherkins), burpees (or churpees), and squats and even few imperial walkers just for Mario.  Other than Fire Hazard, crew must have been holding back because he was the only one I give Larry Bird to this am.  I think Frasier walked the entire workout and still kept up with the pax.  An hour with high humidity is awful, especially when Mario keeps asking why we are going so slow.  I never leave Paper Jam behind (ok – I did once but we did go back to look for him) so maybe you need to get The Brave pax in better shape so they can keep up.

MT and Paper Jam still think I care about their heckling of my form.    You can keep trying but I’m pretty stubborn.   FYI – Van Pelt needs some of your “coaching” as well.    He agreed with me that men our age have to prioritize how we use our testosterone (no supplements – yet).

Best wishes to Outback as he heads out West (good luck in the land of liberals).   San Franciso has F3 workouts so we look forward to hearing about how it compares.

Great to have Jamboree out again.  Glad he showed up one week early for the Kotter/FNG workout.

I screw up at least once every workout.   Called protractor when I meant heels to heaven.   Pax quickly corrected me #ISI #10,000 fails.

Great take out by Chelms – best takeout I ever heard.
