Currahee – Sapper Style

Leave a comment

YHC’s brother in law (F3 Blanca) recently graduated Sapper school for US Army and is headed to his first post at Fort Bragg as a 2nd LT tomorrow! YHC did my best to build a #weinke worthy of the Sapper level of fitness. Check out more on Sapper here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHuUk7lCNkI

Stupid face cards!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: quick mosey around parking lot, SSH, windmills, squats, merkins, up and down dogs, back and hamstring stretches
THE THANG: as we surrounded 4 KBs and 3 sandbags, we looked at the deck of cards along with the wienke that had all the exercises. Face cards are Jack 11, Queen 12, etc. “Breaks” were after 6-8 cards…I’ll explain later. Ruck was worn for most exercises.
• Hearts 2-7 chest press and swings; 8-Ace curls
• Spades 2-7 lunges (double count); 8-Ace merkins
• Diamonds 2-7 man makers; 8-Ace squats
• Clubs 2-7 clean and press; 8-Ace flutter with press
• joker – carry all the from the front of the school down to the softball field…maybe 200 yards there and back
• after 6-8 cards we took a break which consisted of a shuffle with ruck, gear carry swapping after 200 yards, mosey slick
• after we got back from breaks or jokers, we’d rotate positions so we had different gear in front of us given the different items in our arsenal.
MARY: none today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: skate or die has JOC tomorrow for a ruck workout, dam to dam fundraising
COT: praying for illnesses

exercise roulette at currahee

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH and some merkins
THE THANG: everyone got a coupon. Range from 60ish lb sandbag, 50lb laptop bag, GoRuck pillow, 25lb rucksack,
Lots of cones with exercises written on them. Each PAX toed the line on the field with their coupon. Everyone picked a cone that was facedown and performed the exercise after dragging the coupon some 20 yards via bearcrawls. Perform 10 reps of exercise listed on your cone. Bearcrawl drag coupon back to start line. Grab another cone and rotate to the coupon to the left bc sharing is caring. After everyone got a chance to “experience” the bearcrawls drag of each coupon. We then did some ruck shuffling with each coupon and some more exercises. Big boy burpees and 8 count body bag builders were the crowd favorite

Late Q, late backblast

Leave a comment

One of the worst feelings is rolling over and seeing the clock say 5:10 and you’re supposed to Q starting at 5. Quick decision that something was better than nothing, throw some clothes on and sprint out the door. Thankfully Divac had extra gear and put the PAX in motion. When YHC showed up we rucked around the front school loop stopping for some squats, merkins, curls and OH presses. The plan was 8 rounds of: 8 sandbag over the shoulders, 8 ruck pull throughs w/merkins, 8 curls, and 8 V-ups w/ruck OH. On odd rounds sprint to left fence then jog back. On even rounds OH carry to right fence then suitcase carry back. Due to YHC being late we didn’t get through all rounds. But times up back to COT. Thx Divac. Next time I won’t be late!

Days like today remind us of the value of friendship. Today would have sucked if I were left alone in the Gloom. I would’ve probably quit early or stayed in bed had it not been for a commitment to the men waiting on me. When things get tough and you want to quit, how will you ACT?

Are you Accountable – can you be relied upon?
Are you Committed – will you finish what you start?
Can you be Trusted – does the team know you have their back?
We are known not but what we say, but what we do/how we ACT. These men keep me on track. They help me ACT right. And I’m thankful for them.

Aye!
Italian Job
