Moderately Rucking

Leave a comment

Messaged Divac Monday to let him know the black diamond workout was gonna have to wait until my hips and legs would allow me to bend over again…. apparently I forgot I wasn’t in high school anymore and tried to lay down some fast times at Dam2Dam over the weekend. Paying for it this week.

WARMUP: rucks off – SSH, IW, broga things, MtnClimbers

THE THANG:
rucks on and walk circle, ending up at the tiered walkways next to baseball field.

At end of each tier, perform groups of exercises IC.

merkins/squats, thrusters, curls, sumo high pulls, OH press, bent over rows

Return back to circle and continue doing laps, stopping for OYO exercises at various points along circle with stretches of using ruck to do rifle carries.

total of just over 2.5 miles with lots of great mumblechatter along the way.

COT: announcements/prayers/praises

Thanks for the nod Divac – black diamond next time

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

3.2 miles rucked across the street near the water tower to the new neighborhood. Took a connecting road (still under construction) to Hawks Creek. Back to the school.
