Shortest backblast ever….
19 Men Posted to the Swamp. At least 8 or 9 knew there would be rucking involved, but everyone got to enjoy a piece of the Ruck Action. Unfortunately I skipped the disclaimer, but no FNG’s…
The Thang
Mosey to the Fountain for Warmups:
- Windmills
- Imperial Walkers
- Moroccan Night Clubs
Mosey to Home Depot lot for the Main Event
Paired off for Greta 1-2-3 – one PAX ran the length of the HD lot, while the other did the following and flapjack for cumulative counts:
- 100 Ruck Man Makers (think Ruck burpee with a squat thrust instead of jump)
- 200 Ruck Thrusters (squat with ruck out front, when standing ruck in Overhead Press)
- 300 Ruck Flutters (Bench press the ruck for every second leg)
Mosey to COT
NMM
Zima had the Bootcamp helm this morning and offered to split it with YHC for the Ruck Option. Turns out we only had enough time for one #routine, but I’d say it was worth it. Many of the PAX have said they’ve thought about trying the ruck thing and I think this morning was a good intro.
Also, I have no idea how we wound up with 19 in pairs, but #ItHappened
Massive respect to all the PAX who were there… it truly was harder than it appears here.
