46th Birthday celebration with plenty of sandbags

WARMUP:
300 yd mossy without ruck
Moroccan night clubs, windmill, low slow squats, SSH
THE THANG:
Pick a sandbag and perform the following:
The idea was to get 46 reps of each exercise so I broke it down into 3 cycles, 15+15+16 with a 300yd lap with ruck and sandbag after each cycle has been completed. Use you sandbag for all exercises, ruck on at all times except for last exercise:
Sandbag toss
High pulls
Curls
Squat
Over the shoulder toss
Bend over rows
Chest press (no ruck)

As planned it took about 50 minutes to complete all 3 cycles
MARY: 10 minutes of broga
ANNOUNCEMENTS: the Manion is coming, Chupacabra is coming out of hibernation, AMRAP for autism is coming in April
COT: stays at COT

It was great to start my birthday with such a fine group of PAX; Jäeger beer to take home for each attendee.

Stupid face cards!

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

Late Q, late backblast

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!
