Honored to lead 12 HIM in a ruck beat-down at the Home Field (NAFO). YHC provided warning earlier in the week at AO’s and on the Twitter-Machine – so not sure why it was a surprise to some??? Mumble-chatter started before the first warm up exercise. The workout looked a little like this:

Brisk paced ruck down the hill (mumbblechatter about pace). Circle up for warm ups:

SSH x50

WM x10

IW X20

Merkins x11

Mountain climbers x20

Ruck over to a hidden pile of 4 telephone poles. Took a few moments to configure how many PAX it would take to move them (lots more mumble-chatter). We landed on 6 PAX and 2 poles. and proceeded to transport the poles to the first pain-station (wall) where we partnered up to complete the following tasks:

P1 Peoples Chair, P2 Low Squats with Two Rucks x20 and flapjack

P1 Peoples Chair, P2 Squats with 1 ruck on 1 ruck overhead x20 and flapjack

P1 Peoples Chair with 2 Rucks in Lap, P2 Ballerina Squat x20

Back to the logs (more mumble-chatter “thought we were going for a walk today” etc.) Transport logs to pain-station (wall) #2:

P1 Balls 2 Wall, P2 Overhead ruck press x20 (wearing one, pushing one) and flapjack

P1 Balls 2 Wall, P2 Ruck curls x20 (wearing one, pushing one) and flap jack

P1 Balls 2 Wall, P2 Ruck Tricep Extension x2- (wearing one, pushing one) and flapjack

By this time the mumble-chatter had stopped as the PAX had accepted their fate. Transport logs back to pain station #1:

P1 plank with 2 Rucks while P2 cranks out LBC x50 and flapjack

Transport Logs back to where we found them and Ruck up the hill to the pull-up bars for the final pain-station (which has made the Home Field infamous):

Five sets of declining reps starting at 5 (5-1) of the following:

Negative Pull Ups/Merkins

Ruck back to start for flutter kicks with ruck press X20
