Log Jam at the Highland Games

YHC celebrated 37 trips around the sun today and could think of no better way to start it off then with my brothers at Currahee!

WARMUP: Some stretchy things
THE THANG: The PAX went to the back of the school to find the logs. Two teams carried 2 logs (aprox 100-1000 lbs each) around the school and dropped them in the field. Pax lined up on the fence line for 4 rounds of the following
– 10 merkins
– 10 Squat
– 10 Ruck Curl
– 7 Man Makers
Ruck overhead carry to failure then suitcase carry length of the field.
Rinsed and repeated this routine for 4 rounds then split up for some Highland Games style relay log flip race! Pays to be a winner!
One more round of the movement above then losing team had to carry all rucks across the field while winning team jogged back and forth until the six was in.
Each team loaded up their log (aprox 500 – 5000 lbs each) to take back around the school – rotating as needed.
Ruck back to front parking lot for ruck overhead carry to failure back to COT – no one failed!
Olaf took us out with some BROGA
MARY: BROGA
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Charity brew ruck on Thursday – Bourbon and BBQ coming back in Nov – GORUCK Star Course coming in early October (lots of interest here) – Grow Ruck Valley Forge coming later in the Fall – Cylops is HC! – Currahee should be busy with all these events coming!

Just go.

WARMUP: SSH 20, low slow squats 10, 5 burpees…go time
THE THANG: Being DR all last week and no working out, aside from eating and drinking, made this a bit more sucky than it needed to be but the only way to jump in is with both feet. So running with push-ups got the call.

Here’s what we got: every .25 miles = 25 merkins. After mile 1 and mile 1.75 (which is top of the hill in the back of the school), we waited for the six doing flutters.

Simple but effective. Total mileage was between 3-3.5. Some of us (🙋‍♂️) owe a few more merkins as form started to suffer or time to get back was creeping up.
MARY: More flutters and American hammers.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Final countdown CSAUP, QSource on Tuesday Baxter SBUX, be there!
COT: Change Order and his family, kids going off to camps, travel

BOMBS Away!

WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbilly Walkers

The month of May is mental health month. Most Americans struggle with some form of mental health. One of the biggest things I’ve learned during my short time at F3 is that this community cares about the mental health of the PAX and their families. I believe that’s why 🛡 🔒 are a thing as well. To help foster that bond between men.

Loss of life due to suicide is the #2 leading cause of death in ages 10-34.

This workout was curated with the idea that we are not alone and through teamwork, we can get it done.

THE THANG:
BOMBS workout
50 Burpees
100 Overhead claps
150 Merkins
200 Big Boy SitUps
250 Squats

Mode of transportation was suicide runs.

Partner up. Pax 1 does exercise while Pax 2 does suicide run. Then swap.
If finished before the other groups, help them wrap up their sets.

Wrapped up with 10 merkins on the minute for 7 minutes followed by 15 squats on the minute for 7 minutes.
