Band Camp took the hill

Leave a comment

Very delayed in writing this but since Band Camp finally came to a ruck workout and keeps ‘reminding’ me about it, I’ll try to remember what we did.
Ruck up and grab sandbags and head over to small field for some sandbag relays. Grab everything and head over to base of heart attack hill. Partner up and split taking sandbags up the hill. Drop the sandbags at the top and head back down. This trip up no straps. Suitcase, fireman, overhead, however you want to carry your ruck up the hill. Almost lost Tinsel to hills namesake bit his BP finally came down. Link the sandbags together for team weight. Everyone rotated on and off to help carry the weight most of the way back to COT. Times almost up so break apart the sandbags and huff it back for COT. Thanks for the Q opportunity Divac! And I promise next year when Band Camp returns the back blast will be prompt.

17 enjoyed my Q at the yard on Saturday Oct 22.

We stretched a bit at the beginning and then moseyed to start a Thang from a weinke I had done at the Yard three years ago.

Paired up

We ran to the back driveway and at each light pole was an assignment. Each pole had one letter of THEYARD, except for the excitement that the letters were out of order. You had to Jog to find the next letter. Lots of grumble.

T
Donkey kicks (10)
Merkins (10)

E
LBC (25)
Dying Cockroaches (25)

Y
Mountain climbers (25)
Grave diggers (20)

H
SSH (25)
Burpees (5)

R
Box cutters (15)
Burpees ( 5…yes more burpees)

D
Bobby Hurley’s (10)
Hello Dolly’s (20)

A
Squats (30)
Lunges (15 ea)

Overall I would say it was a big hit and everyone loved my Q. I’m sure I’ll be asked to Q again in the near future.

Let’s Try That Again…

Leave a comment

After double booking a few weeks back… River Rat was able to get me back on the schedule to continue Rucktober into November… Ruckvember? The truck was loaded down with coupons, and we showed up on time. Check, check.

Now it’s time to work. We grabbed a few sandbags and one Jerry can and headed off into the gloom.

Iteration 1
Carry Coupon/Ruck up and down bleachers
10 Ruck Merkins
Switch Coupons, Rinse and Repeat
Ruck Lunges

Ruck around the track

Repeat with Squats, Coupon OH Press
Ruck another lap

Iteration 2
Coupon/Ruck CMIYC

There were three of us – so an improvisation was made. Drop rucks.

Pax 1 farmer carries two rucks, two other pax drop for 5 burpees. Up and sprint to Pax 1, swap position. Repeat for a lap. (Sprocket is faster than he looks, by the way!).

Grab two sandbags, no rucks. Pax 1/2 move forward while Pax 3 does 10 bomb jacks. Catch up/swap. Repeat for a lap.

Grabs rucks and sandbags. Pax 1/2 move forward with both while Pax 3 does 3 8-count body builders with ruck. Catch up/swap. Repeat for a lap.

Time was nearing expiration – so we headed back to COT.

Ended with 5 Ruck American Hammers IC.

Announcements
