Training Ground

WARMUP:
THE THANG:
Ruck Shuffled 1 min on and 1 minute off the full workout.
We made our way to Mr. Putty’s for a windmill and stretched. From there, we shuffled to the back road to GHMS, and at each light pole, we did 3 merkins and 3 squats in a back-and-forth sequence of out 2 poles and back 1 pole, working our way down to the bottom of the hill. Ruck on the whole time.
At the bottom of the hill, each pax selected a large rock, we did one overhead press and pass the rock to the right for a full minute, then rinsed and repeated to the left for a full minute.
We then shuffled to the benches at the school and did 3 sets of ARAP dips for 30 each, with ruck on.
We then shuffled to the light poles in front of the school and did 5 flutter press and 5 OHP while suitcase carrying the ruck from pole to pole. The sequence was out two poles and back one pole until we made our way to the end of all the light poles.
We then shuffled to the bottom of the hill at the school entrance. Did 10 slick burpees and ruck shuffles back to COT.
MARY: No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: Closed in prayer

Welcome back to the 90s

WARMUP: SSH while we gathered everyone to get the party started. Then took off for a short mosey over to the flags. Windmills, cherry pickers, low slow squats, merkins. Then ran to the back of the school.
THE THANG: we setup the DJ station for some 90s jams. Stating point was by the gym where the picnic tables were at and we would do 1 exercise, run to the end of the parking lot where the orange cones are normally at, then back to the music for the following exercise, reading left to right and then progressing down. But 1 exercise, then run every time. I think 2.5 miles were got or close to, and the kings were somewhere down to the jump squats.

10 burpees (30 seconds Al Gore)
15 diamonds (30 monkey humpers)
20 hand release (50 calf raises)
25 wide arm (50 flutters)
30 merkins (40 step ups total)
35 rangers (25 incline merkins)

NMM
When we’re young, our heroes wear capes. As we age, our new heroes wear flaws, scars, and wisdom. They quietly show up, do the work, and expect no applause. Growing up isn’t about losing heroes, it’s about finding real ones.

You men are my heroes. You each have special gifts that I admire. You may not see it, but we do. Spending time in the Gloom with you men makes me better. Thank you.
