Full gear. Go.

WARMUP: Gathered with all the gear we could find in trunks and truck beds. First we did a quick mosey around the parking lot. Then the infamous 33×11 warmup, thanks to Cha-Ching.

YHC messed up at first by doing 33 SSH in cadence then followed by 11 burpees OYO.

The followed by OYO 33 SSH single count and 11 burpees.

Then rinse and repeat. All warmed up.
THE THANG: Partner up, ruck on, each grab a sandbag, each grab a KB and each team grab one more KB or extra sandbag to share. Head over to the soccer field swapping the 4th “item” halfway through the walk.

While on the soccer field with your partner, we dropped all our gear, with exception of ruck, on a line by one of the goals. We then ran to the other goal line. Instructions were to gather 1 piece of gear and drop it at the mid line and then go back to the starting line, drop and do 5 merkins. After you and partner get all the gear to the mid line, then you need to take each piece of gear 1×1 and get it to the starting point. After each gear, always 5 merkins at the start. And shuffling with ruck the whole time.

Now that all the gear is at the starting line, we need to bear crawl 2 pieces of gear each and individually, to the mid line wearing your ruck, then bear crawl back to get your second piece of gear.

Last was sandbags in 1 corner, KB in 1 corner, and the ruck exercises in another corner. At each of the 3 corners, exercises below were performed. After each exercise, come back to center for 5 man makers with ruck.
– 10 sandbag tosses over shoulder wearing ruck
– 20 ruck swings
– 30 KB squats wearing ruck

Gather up all gear and with your partner, back to COT.

Four sets of ten (minutes)

WARMUP: Skipped it. To much “thang” to do.
THE THANG: The plan was simple, complete four ten minute stations in different locations in 45 minutes. To stay on track, we did a 5:14am disclosure and skipped the obligatory warmup of SSH, windmills, etc.
Quick mozy to station one by the closed dental practice to pickup stones from the dry creek bed. For ten minutes we used the rocks for 20 reps each of flutters with press, triceps extensions, biceps curls, upright rows, halos, and presses. After ten minutes we returned the stones and ran to the church parking lot for station two.
Station two was simple; running for ten minutes. One long length of the parking lot was a run, at the end we walked to the next straightaway then sprinted back. At the end we walked until we got back to the start for the next run/walk/sprint/walk cycle. Rinse and repeat until the timer went off and we ran to the shelter for station three; body weight exercises.
At station three we did 20 reps each of calf raises, step ups, dips, merkins, Carolina dry docks, and bomb jacks. Rinse and repeat for ten minutes. When the ten minute timer went off we ran to COT for station four; Mary.
At station four we did 20 reps each of LBCs, box cuttahs, flutters, BBS, Freddy Mercurys, leg lifts to 45 degrees. Rinse and repeat for 10 minutes.
We were able to get almost all of it completed by 6:00.
