1. A Little Help From My Friends

   11 men downed the DRP and braved a rainy Saturday morning to better themselves and support their brothers (some more literally than others). The theme for today’s beat down was teamwork.

   Mosey to Switzerland (the long way according to Fire Chicken)

   WARMORAMA:
   SSH x30 IC
   Arm Circles Each Direction
   Windmills x15 IC

   Jailbreak to Level 1 of the parking deck. The slick brick sidewalk made this more of an adventure than the Q intended. Pax were instructed to form teams as they arrived by filing into lines 1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1,2,3…. This was intended to make four teams that would be somewhat equal.

   THE THANG:
   Seven pain stations were setup on levels 1A through 4A of the parking deck. At each station there was an exercise with a number of reps to be performed by the team per each pax. (So a 3 member team would perform 3 times the number of reps listed, as a team. Stronger/faster members could perform extra reps to help their teammates.) There was also a core exercise with a set number of reps to be performed by each pax. Then there was different form of traveling to the next station. The team that performed the most stations in the time allotted were to be blessed with free coffee and a victory parade on the backs of the team that completed the least stations.

   It was an honor to lead you guys this morning. Everyone poured their heart out to make themselves better and push each other. I thank the Lord for a group of brothers to help me improve physically and grow spiritually. Looking forward to improving with you in the future. At least two more VQ’s next week!

   Grandmaster
