Those are some big a$$ gloves

EC ruck with Stabler and Spinal Tap. Didn’t feel right without my bro Patch. During the ruck, we joked, “maybe no one else will show and we can just ruck”. About 5:21 that was spoiled when the PAX started rolling up. Grammar was first and YHC knew the Q would have to bring his A-game to impress.

0530 – circled up, disclaimer given –

•  warm up – 10 SSH IC (4 count), 10 Hillbillies IC (4 count), 10 Merkins IC (4 count), 10 Burpees IC (on down)
• 21’s In unison PAX does 2-count side straddle hop and counts reps 1-5 out loud. Reps 6-21 are all mental and everyone must stop together at 21. If anyone stops early or goes over Q has PAX perform a penalty workout of Q’s choice.
  • 1st attempt failed, Q failed to inform pax they could not count out loud…Book Worm!
  • 2nd attempt was merkins 21 IC (4 count), we all stopped at the same time…Q thinks pax had already stopped, waiting for Q to stop
  • All in all the penalty was avoided, but 20 4 count merkins is a penalty, especially to Tonka.
•  Headed to rock pile for three exercises Ground to OH Press, Curls for the Girls, and Tricep Extensions.
• 15 reps IC (4 count) each exercise, two rocks to right, 12 reps IC (4 count) each exercise, two rocks to right, 10 reps IC (4 count) each exercise, two rocks to right, 8 reps IC (4 count) each exercise, two rocks to right and return rocks to the pile. The size of a mans rocks always offers up some good chatter.
• Lined up shoulder to shoulder –
  • Bear crawled 25 yards, then crawl beared back
  • Crab walked 25 yards, then duck walked back
• Follow me for a lap (the long way) around to the shelter
• Stabler requested some more dips and step ups after yesterday
  • 100 step ups IC (50 each leg)
• Circled up, 20 jump squats IC (holding squat, on up cadence) – there are some premature springs in this crowd, 5 merkins IC (4 count), 5 diamond merkins IC (4 count), 20 flutter kicks IC (4 count)
• Picnic tables for Dips IC (4 count) – 15 reps, 5 sec rest, 10 reps, 5 sec rest, 5 reps
• Jailbreak back to the flag to finish the last minute off with burpees. PAX did 5-15 burpees quickly…thanks for the last sec push Ma!

Great to have support from your brothers. Tonka makes at least one joke about a pax in attendance at each of his posts (to make himself feel better of course)…today it was re: Fin’s new gloves – had to be there for this laugh. Fin and the PAX got the last laugh though watching Tonka crawl bear.

Thankful to see all my brothers that met YHC in the gloom…shout out to Stabler and Tap for two Noonan Q’s back to back, to my shield look brother Ma Bell, to Tonka and Grammar for Q shopping YHC, for Panther answering the call of the HL, for Book Worm for holing the Q accountable, to Fin for being a stud, to Couch Potato for not sleeping through the Q, and to Redbox for the opportunity to lead.
