…and thats how history is made

History was made today as YHC made his VQ at The Armory. I’m happy that after 9 years someone finally noticed me. All it took was getting up at 3 am to make the drive across the bridge to the “other side” of Fort Mill.

We didn’t do a disclaimer because only professionals showed up.

Warm up was an Indian Run in a slowish pace around the parking lot. Battlebot decided to snake us a bit but we made it back. 5 Windmills and about 10 Polish night clubs.

The Thang

After much discussion on the properness of the name, we did a Jack Web because I said so. Although others were determined it should have been called 11s. Luckily, I didn’t fold under the pressure and called it what I wanted. We started with 1 press and walked across the lot for 10 curls. Now normally you would assume we then did 2 presses and 9 curls…. but somewhere in YHC’s Coors Light daze the numbers didn’t add up. We pretty much did 10 of each exercise on both sides of the parking lot. I wish I could say it was a test to see who was paying attention, but that would just be a lie.

Next, we again debated the name of the exercise group. I said accumulator, some said Dora, others said Misogi….look I don’t care what yall call stuff, just do the exercises. We partnered up with 1 person doing the call out while the other ran across the lot and back. Each time the partner ran they had to add 1 merkin. I think by the end we were around 14-16 merkins each time we ran. Call out was 300 swings, 200 tri extension, and 50 man makers.

Closed with good news about Band Camps youth trip and prayers over the P200 runners

….Hope your happy 3D and thanks for the invite Battle Bot

WARMUP:
300 yd mossy without ruck
Moroccan night clubs, windmill, low slow squats, SSH

The idea was to get 46 reps of each exercise so I broke it down into 3 cycles, 15+15+16 with a 300yd lap with ruck and sandbag after each cycle has been completed. Use you sandbag for all exercises, ruck on at all times except for last exercise:
Sandbag toss
High pulls
Curls
Squat
Over the shoulder toss
Bend over rows
Chest press (no ruck)

As planned it took about 50 minutes to complete all 3 cycles
