NMM
Fort Mill is a land of churches (seems one is on every corner). But just as standing in a garage doesn’t make you a car, going to church doesn’t make you a believer. Whatever you believe, show it in the way you carry yourself. Have convictions. Stand for your beliefs. The world is your pulpit, so let your walk be your message.

Aye!

3 Evolutions of Hurt

Leave a comment

PAX were encouraged to add an extra 10-15 pounds to their rucks for this week’s version of intense ruck training. Right after a quick disclaimer it was explained that the reason for the added weight was to prepare for the reality of GORUCK event. Rucks never weigh 20 or 30 pounds at an event. They start there and go up with the weight of gear, food, and water. So why train with less than you are going to shoulder when it comes time to face the challenge?

Unfortunately only 3 PAX carried the added weight this week, so hopefully the message sank in. And the added heckling from Cheddah for those not increasing weight probably didn’t hurt either.

WARMUP:
SSH X25
Merkins (slick) X10
That’s all…..

THE THANG:
Evolution 1:
Ruck to the top of the parking lot, drop the sandbags and ruck to the other end of the lot. We had the full length of the soccer field fence on our left side.

– Bear crawl 3 parking spots, complete 1 merkin
– Bear crawl 3 parking spots, complete 2 merkins
– Continue the series until the end of the spaces and 10 merkins was reached.

Collect the sandbags and complete a ruck around the big loop.

Evolution 2:
Drop the sandbags at the end of the parking lot on the same section we bear crawled. Walk down to the half way point and drop our rucks.

Ladder with 10 on one end and 1 on the other.
– Curls with the ruck
– Bent over rows with the sandbag
– Run between ~50yds

Collect all the gear and complete another big loop.

Evolution 3:
Pretty simple and terrible. Starting at one end of the stretch we were working on and moving the full length of the fence.

Toss the sandbag and complete a Man Maker until you reach the end.

MARY:
Went around the group calling exercises. From memory, we had LBCs, Big Boys, Box Cutters, Freddy Mercuries, and at least one more I can’t remember.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
9/11 WOD at NAFO this Saturday at 0630. Bring a ruck and sandbag

COT:
Spocket is doing some great things with this AO!! I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of it.
