Black Diamonds have a way of sounding like the movie “The Ring.”  You post for one, a guy hands you a shovel flag and sets you on a 10 day countdown to develop the toughest Q you can think of AND complete.  The beautiful part of it is you have to push yourself and those brave enough to post to your own physical limits…..it’s required for a Black Diamond!

Four of us gathered in the parking and headed out.

Mosey up the parking lot around the traffic circle and across the band practice lot.  Circled up for the warmup:

• SSH X100
• Low Slow Squat X20
• Windmills X20
• Mountain Climber X15
• Merkins X10

Mosey across the parking lot to the pull up bars behind the ROTC building.  Partner up.  Partner 1 complete 10 Burpee Pull Ups.  Partner 2 holds Balls to the wall until Partner 1 completes his exercise.  This one looked good on paper but holding balls to the wall after completing Burpee Pull Ups is not a small feat.  So we did it 3 times!!!

Mosey to the bottom of the hill.  Partner carry’s up the hill to the pull up bars.  Rinse and repeat.

Mosey back to the band practice lot.  Line up on the line and bear crawl to the 10 yard line.  Complete 5 Merkins.  Bear Crawl to the 20 yard line and complete 5 Diamond Merkins.  Continue until we have crossed the field.

Run backwards to the 50, then turn and run out the rest of field.  Complete 5 times.
