Band Camp took the hill

Leave a comment

Very delayed in writing this but since Band Camp finally came to a ruck workout and keeps ‘reminding’ me about it, I’ll try to remember what we did.
Ruck up and grab sandbags and head over to small field for some sandbag relays. Grab everything and head over to base of heart attack hill. Partner up and split taking sandbags up the hill. Drop the sandbags at the top and head back down. This trip up no straps. Suitcase, fireman, overhead, however you want to carry your ruck up the hill. Almost lost Tinsel to hills namesake bit his BP finally came down. Link the sandbags together for team weight. Everyone rotated on and off to help carry the weight most of the way back to COT. Times almost up so break apart the sandbags and huff it back for COT. Thanks for the Q opportunity Divac! And I promise next year when Band Camp returns the back blast will be prompt.

It’s About Time!

Leave a comment

YHC tried to Q in September and missed the opportunity due to concentrica demands. Last week, DR. This week, finally!

It is Chad season, so we put in some step ups after a coupon ruck, followed by Farmer Carries vanity muscle work.

Step Up Work:
30 minute EMOM (:40 work/:20 rest)

Vanity Work:
1 Pax Farmer Carry out/back with Jerry Cans
Rest of Pax do one movement, rotate, repeat
OH Press
Bent Over Rows
Ruck Curls
OH Hold
Ruck Swings

Stretch it out.

Moleskine:

Kaiser mentioned life is in seasons – which is very true. To be able to realize the seasonal transition is another level of awareness. My prayer is that God will reveal those seasons and the changes to us so we can better lead our families.

Announcements:

Dam2Dam fundraising season is in full effect. Check out your newsletter or hit up Boss Hogg to learn more.

COT:

Praise/prayers for Divac’s second child in his wife’s womb – coming May 2023.
Other prayers meant for COT.

Thanks, Divac, for persisting for my Q – appreciate you.

Punch List out.

Limited miles and no smiles

WARMUP: Quick warmup ruck around the back of the school to the front entry drive for COP.
– SSH
– LSS
– Plank into downward dog, honeymooner, L arm high and R arm high.
– Windmill

THE THANG:

Ruck to trailhead park. While in route, there was some chatter/concern that we were headed to “the hill” for a second week in a row. As much as I love taking the hill, I had something a little different planned…an early intro to prep for The Chad.
– 100 step ups
– 100 squats (ruck on)
– 100 irkens

With 30 minutes left on the clock, we rucked back to the school for some field work.

Cones were placed every 20 yards (approx). 4 segments out / 4 segments back. 5 ruck man makers to start and at each turn.

Out:
– MOT = bear crawl / 10 ruck on merkins at each cone

Back:
– MOT = Lunge walk with ruck overhead / 25 ruck rows at each cone

Out:
– MOT = Bear crawl ruck drag / 10 BBSU at each cone

Back:
– MOT = Lunge walk with ruck front carry / 25 DC flutter press at each cone

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Support the shoe drive.

COT: Prayers for safety, health, peace and trust in the Sky Q.

Hills of Tega Cay

Leave a comment

Your previous Site Q was called upon to bring back #BAOPS Pain to Alcatraz. Sadly the current Site Q conveniently scheduled YHC when he was away…hmmmm. All week YHC was planning a weinke so that his entire Bourbon Chase team would post and support their driver. Well, only 2 posted, so the remaining team members will be walking or running between transition locations. What is Tega Cay known for? Well Fishsticks created a weinke “one time” that allows all PAX to experience all the HILLS of Tega Cay, so I figured why not use that as a platform. We also welcomed a FNG!!

The Thang:

During COP discussed the weinke as staying on the parking for full hour. HA! after a short COP, mossy to pull-up bars (shocking). Each PAX held plank while each did 5 pull-ups. The FNG was the second best performing pull-ups! Mossy along the path to the intersection of Tega Cay DR and Woodhaven Dr. That is base camp. From there, there are 6 legs (hills) to explore. Run to end of Woodhaven, Timberlake, Catamaran, to the lower fire station parking lot, to the bridge, and to the bottom of the infamous hill. Do 10 merkins, then back to base for 15 LBCs. Some got 4+ miles, others 3+ miles…..it was glorious!

As for FNG, grew up in Iowa and a Hawkeyes fan…..Hayden Frye is their head coach for those non-Big10 fans. YEs Big10 is THE college football conference!

Trucker out

Just some miles with good discussion.

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Oops…

THE THANG:

Planned on a version of the Tribe 1776 WOD but once we got to walking we were having good conversations so we audibilized to just getting miles with some stops every 10 minutes or so for reps of 25 of an exercise.

We got in somewhere between 2-3 miles (my watch accidentally got stopped) and did 25 OYO of squats, high pulls, swings and curls

Log Jam at the Highland Games

Leave a comment

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!
