On a unseasonably warm morning 4 men strapped on their rucks with YHC and got a bit stronger today.

The Thang

We rucked on over to the All American Burger company parking lot where we would spend the duration of our workout.  It was maybe 100 yards.  We didn’t cover much ground today.

Warm Ups

SSH, Windmills, Imperial Walkers,

The main event was a 8 exercise tabata.  Each exercise we would do 8 reps. 20 seconds AMRAP and 10 seconds rest.  Simple, but effective workout.

These were the exercises, all done with rucks:

Squats, Ruck Swings, Flutters, Merkins, Lunges, Sit ups, Overhead press with ruck, Man-makers

After this we moseyed back to COT and jumped in with the boot campers to finish up some mary with them.

Moleskin

This is an easy workout to plan, but man is it a TBQ.  We were all feeling it at the end.  I think during the workout the merkins hit the hardest.  After the first 2 sets my arms were shot.  I flipped the order of the sit ups and the overhead press because my arms were still recovering from merkins and I think we all needed an extra set to recover.

The group lucked out and we skipped a rep of the manmakers at the start of that set because I called burpees, but executed a manmaker.  There’s a difference…you didn’t think the Q would know how to do his own exercises. You’re welcome for the break.  T-claps to Router as this was his first post in 4 months after a back injury and it wasn’t an easy one to slip back into. Dude hung tough though.  Good work by all – everyone really pushed themselves.
