Do the Shuffle

WARMUP: Gave the usual intro and then we got after it.

THE THANG: We toured the longer Kingsley loop and the rucks stayed on the whole time. Starting from COT we had our first 10min ruck interval, 5min rucking followed by 5min of ruckshuffling.
Stopped by a group of benches for our first pain station.
25 – Step-Ups
25 – Alt. Lunges
25 – Incline Merkin w/ 2 shoulder touches at the top = 1 rep

Onto the next 10min ruck interval. This time we rucked for 4min. and then ruckshuffled for 6 min.
Stopped at the round-a-bout towards the back entrance for our next pain station.
150 total reps – Squats and Calf Raises (PAX chose how they wanted to split up the reps )
Then completed 1 lap via BearCrawl around the round-a-bout

Marched right into our next ruck interval – 3min ruck followed by 7min of ruckshuffling.

Ended up at the amphitheater area for our next pain station where there were plenty of more benches to utilize.
20 – ButttouchSquat followed by 2 alt lunges = 1 rep
15 – Incline Merkin followed by 2 Grave Diggers = 1 rep

From that pain station we moved into our final ruck interval – 2min ruck followed by 8min ruckshuffle which we completed in the parking lot behind Panera. Last call was at 1min as PAX were asked to ruckshuffle back to COT.

Back at it #MakeSkateGreatAgain

If being truly honest, this was my 1st BC Q in quite some time (definitely over 6 months and probably closer to a year or more) and the nerves of would I remember what to do or the exercise names was real this morning…

Which reminds me of my favorite quotes:

“Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action” ~Walter Anderson

No matter what you are anxious about, take a step… then a second… and then the next… and so on… before long you’ll turn around and see just how far you’ve come…

Funny, once we got started it was like riding a bike and all of the anxiety went away…

WARMUP: a few minutes of Broga to stretch it out a bit followed by some dynamic warmups

THE THANG: mosey to behind the JROTC building to pick up a Cindy. 5 rounds (10 reps down to 6 reps) completing each of the exercises before slow mosey to bottom of hill followed by accelerating run back to top.

Exercises w/ Cindy:
– Swings
– Overhead press
– Overhead Tricep extension
– Curls
– Upright row
– Bent over row
– Merkins
– Lunges
– Squats
– Calf raises

MARY: Shield had to bounce, so HC and I finished up our last set, returned the Cindy’s, and finished up at COT with some Mary…

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Upcoming CSAUPs

COT: ya gotta show to know!

Run stadium steps till time

Finished off workout with Airborne hip exercises. Dark Helmet is not a fan so he didn’t participate.

Great work by all Pax. It was extremely hot and humid but they all pushed to get through at least the last round of bear crawl. Leaders were running stadium steps when time was called.

This was a workout created to honor DEA Special Agent Terry Watson. Who was killed in Bogota Colombia June 20, 2013.

Workout was modified, but it still sucked.
