Introduction

Pre-Blast for 2/14/20 Black Diamond at DTGents: I had a great beatdown planned for tomorrow but with the weather conditions in the forecast I feel that we would not be able to give it Hell safely with sub zero temperatures and blowing snow concealing ice on the ground. With that said, the Black Diamond workout will be held in the Indigo Parking Garage. We will still meet at DT but we will mosey over shortly after 5am. Make no mistake this will not be easy, so if you’re looking for a great workout get to DT tomorrow. Do not be intimidated, you will thank yourself for making it out when it is all over. PLEASE BRING A JUMP ROPE(S) IF YOU HAVE ONE. No Coupons. HC in the thread, let me know if you will be bringing a jump rope(s) as well. :facepunch: The race is on!

The Thang

Before each set PAX started by running up the parking garage to level 5. Once they got to the top they had to do 10 burpees before they could start the set.  Then Pax performed the exercises in set 1 on each level of the garage.  The amount of repetitions was determined by the level they were on.  On level 5 pax did 50 of each exercise.  Then we ran down to level 4 and did all of the exercises in set one again but only 40 reps.  We did this until we reached level 1.  After set 1 was completed we had to complete 300 jump ropes.  Once 300 jump ropes were completed PAX ran up to level 5 and completed all exercises of set 2 at each level. Exercises are listed below:

Set 1:

-Merkin

-Rows holding on to guard rail with only heels touching the ground

-Carolina Dry Docks

-Run down ramp to next level

 

Set 2:

-Squats

-Wall-sit with an overhead clap

-Bobby Hurley’s

-50 lunge walks towards next level then run the rest of the way down.

We stopped at 5:50 to allow time for MARY and time to get back to DT.

We only had about 2 minutes for Mary so PAX partnered up and raced other groups to 500 jump ropes.  One partner jumped until he made a mistake and the other partner picked up where he left off.  The partner not jumping was doing squats.  Appletini and Uncle Rico got to 500 first.

 

Circle of Trust

CoT: “Being deeply in love with someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives your courage.” – Lao Tzu
– I think I really gained an understanding for this quote after my wife and i had kids. Our love for each other and our children gave us the strength to persevere during endless nights of screaming and crying, being sprayed with all sorts of nasty bodily fluids and obliviously looking for the solutions to these problems.  At the time this caused stress and arguments, but in the end it made our love stronger.  COURAGE, I dont know how to explain this but everytime one of them gets hurt I feel like I’d want to jump in front of a train to make them feel better. On this valentine’s day let’s try to go the extra mile to show our appreciation for our families. Not necessarily through monetary gifts or fancy dinners but by going the extra mile to show how much we care.
 Id like to wish you all a happy valentine’s day.
Prayers for Noonan’s Family.
