What’s the count?

Big crowd at Clydesdales this morning. The planned route was followed by some and others took their own path. Twister has a new pair of shoes. Apparently, they were out of all the men’s colors.

Pick that up and let’s go

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, merkins, cherry pickers, on the ground for hamstring and back stretching
THE THANG: We brought some extra weight where each Pax of course had their ruck, and then 2 Pax for .25 miles would also carry the 40 pound sand bag and either a 30 or 35 lb kettle bell.

At the 1/4 mile mark, we rotated the extra weight to 2 new Pax and kept rotating every 1/4 mile.

At our first 1/4 mile we did 5 merkins with our ruck. Next 1/4 we did 5 merkins + 10 squat thrusters with ruck; next 1/4 was same as above plus 15 ruck swings; next quarter same stuff + 20 ruck chest press; another quarter plus everything + 25 shrugs.

Added up quickly but old school pearls on a string plus the extra weight was a nice way to end the work week.
MARY: no time today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots going on in the fort! Dam 2 dam signups begin Sept 1
COT: keep praying for DiVinchi’s step dad

THE THANG:

1st person does pull-ups until failure then switch over to dips.
2nd PAX does squats with ruck on.

Then rucked up and finished the loop back around to the school. Handed over Q to @SPowers who had us doing laps around the EarthFare lot with ruck exercises at each stop sign. Lunges, shoulder presses, curls, merkins, squats. Before it was over he was calling cadence like a natural. Great VQ after only a month of posting. Look forward to many more.
