WARMUP: Windmills, 4 count squats, imperial Walker’s, merkins, then light ruck shuffle to loosen everything up.
THE THANG: Buy in: every 2:30 complete the following w/ruck on entire time: 10 squat cleans w/sandbag, 10 merkins, 10 OH sandbag press and 10 bentover sandbag rows. 4 rounds for 10 mins total. Honestly this was a terrible idea. It takes almost the entire 2:30 to complete so very little rest between rounds.
Quick break to recover them grab a couple of sandbags and move to back of school. Grab the logs, 3 PAX per log and move them back to front of school. Each team front rack carried their log the length of the parking lot. On other end perform 10 team overhead log presses then 10 team log squats. Front rack carry log back to start point. Set log down then complete the following: 3 rounds of 3 exercises. 1st round is 21 reps of each, 2nd round is 15, and last round is 9. 3 exercises were front ruck squats, overhead ruck presses, and swings.
Pick up the logs and take them back to spot behind school. Grab sandbags and move back to cars. Couple of minutes left so another 3 round, 3 exercise routine. This time reps are 15, 10, then 5. Exercises were overhead lunges, ruck curls, and flutters. Times up. Work was done and no one was injured. Successful morning!
Thx Sprocket for the opportunity.

Today I learned that Mainframe calls Food Lion the “Shitty Kitty,” Change Order was the reason the bell curve exists at school, Saw Dust cried when Coach K retired, and Senator Tressel is running off to Europe with a much younger woman. If that type of info doesn’t get you interested in The Ranch, I don’t know what will. Thanks for the opportunity to lead. Enjoyed our time this morning.
