Sandbag Games

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Slick mosey around the parking lot followed by some SSH, Good Mornings and a few Merkings.
THE THANG: I borrowed, or stole, this workout from Steak Knives in Cape Fear while we did a version of this workout as extra credit prior to a running AO. Everyone hear had a sand bag between 40lbs-60lbs.
(50) Sand bag Getups (think a Turkish getup) without ruck on.
(50) Sand bag ground to shoulders (and toss it over your shoulder) while wearing ruck.
(50) Sand bag squats while wearing ruck
(50) Sand bag clean & throws (same as a sand bag toss) while wearing ruck.
We were on a 2min timer so every 2mins, you had to do 5 burpees. After 2 rounds, we changed the count to 3 burpees.
MARY:
Box Cutters with ruck overhead
LBCs with ruck overhead
Flutters with ruck overhead
American Hammers – slick
Standing side-bends with ruck in hand
Series of planking with rucks on
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter, Independence Day convergence at NAFO, give blood, Men’s Shelter
COT: You had to be there.

Add 4, carry the 2, divide by 1.21 gigawatz

Leave a comment

WARMUP: quick mosey, low slow squats, cherry pickers, merkins (stayed here for a minute), mountain climbers, plank jack, honeymooner, downward dog, bomb jacks for DH…more mosey, ran to the thang
THE THANG: A pile of goodies awaited us. Partnered up and found 1 item to share. Partner 1 did the exercise and called out the number they thought they could hit, partner 2 ran to the corner of the parking lot. Switch when partner 2 returned who also shared their guess on reps while partner 1 ran. Penalties were given for over/under and hitting numbers (this was all made up on the spot and math came into play). We rotated after each partner did the one exercise and the penalty after each round.

Exercises included:
-45 lb plate: round 1 shrugs, round 2 calf raises
-sandbag: round 1 man maker, round 2 shoulder press
-35 lb KB: R1 swings, R2 curls
-30 lb KB: R1 squats, R2 pass through lunges
-25 lb KB: R1 triceps extension, R2 plank row
-Ruck: R1 merkins, R2 chest press

We made it to round 2 for about 2-3 rotations. Penalties included merkins, bomb jacks, flutters, burpees, diamond merkins, etc. How much you went over or under drove the number of exercises and some of these had a multiplier…there was zero rhyme or reason to this.
MARY: No Mary today.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots in the newsletter, check that out
COT: lift up Sawdust’s mom who recently fell and lost a friend this past week

Active recovery

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Standard warm up
Ruck half the loop
SSH
Cherry pickers
Yoga
Merkins

THE THANG:
We had the following exercises and reps that we did for 5 mins straight.

5 man makers
10 curls
15 squats
10 overhead press
5 burpees with ruck on

Then for active recovery we would ruck for 2 mins

Repeated this 5 times.

We were definitely faster rounds 1 and 2. No one was able to complete the list twice in one round.

Simple but effective workout. Just an example that a hard workout doesn’t have to be complicated.

MARY:
30 LBCs to finish
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT:
The runners practicing for the Bear joined us

WARMUP: Run the parking lot but only a very little. Some Windmills, Merkins and Imperial Walkers.

Aces = 14 and a few wild cards.
In total:
Hearts: 104 Squats with weight overhead
Diamonds: 104 Thrusters
Clubs: 104 Clubs in cadence
Spades: 104 Upright Rows

MARY: Yes, a little at the end including Peter Parkers & American Hammers.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Keep an eye out for the Misogi details later today in Slack.
COT: You should’ve been there.
Until next time…

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Some old man stretchy things and a few merkins

THE THANG:
Heavy stuff we carried:
– 80lb bag
– 70lb bag
– 50lb bag
– Olaf’s Hammer of Justice
– Olaf’s 80lb bag of shit stuffed in a 60lb bag
– Log – it’s big, it’s heavy (-ish), it’s wood
– a 25lb KB
– maybe something else?

As a group, we carried the heavy things around the back of the school to the playground and put them down. Marked off roughly 40yards.
Did 11s with Ruck Merkins and Overhead Presses.

Carried the heavy stuff (everyone has to carry something different each time) out to the right and to the end of the fence. Bear crawled with rucks to fire hydrant and back.

Continued loop around back of school to small parking lot for some ruck curls.

Continued carrying heavy things to front lot to play a little catch me if you can.

Final movement was practicing carrying our body weight (or close to it) for about 200 yds.

MARY:
It’s dudes only, bro.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
These is where we tell people about up upcoming events.

COT:
This is our 5th Core Principle.

Crashing the buffet

Leave a comment

WARMUP: 0500-0505
Q school followed by 3 side straddle hops to practice calling cadence. We got places to be.

THE THANG:

Coupons: sandbags and 60lb kettlebell. One guy without a coupon

0505-0525
Ruck to Golden Corral, trading coupons as needed
Moderate complaining about the kettlebell

0525-0540
Crash the party at Golden Corral
Line up all the gear
All PAX do 10 merkins, sprint to other side, 5 burpees, then choose your weapon. Faster guys got first pick. There aren’t enough coupons for everyone.
The recommendation before starting was to not be without a coupon.

The converged PAX were now separated into 3 groups:
Ruckers – those who picked up a ruck
Couponers – Slicks who picked up a sandbag or kettlebell
Slicks – Those who were not able to get a coupon

DORA – Couponers are the timers, everyone else does reps until they return.

Round 1:
Ruckers do merkins
Couponers carry coupons to other end of parking lot then do 20 squats with coupon.
Slicks do burpees

Round 2:
Ruckers do squats
Couponers carry coupons and do 20 overhead presses
Slicks do burpees

Slicks were taken off the hook and allowed to choose someone to trade with.

repeat round 1, then we had to get back to COT. Departed at 0540.

0540 – 0601
A brisk ruck back where there was even more complaining about the 60lb kettlebell, and arrived at COT at 0601. No extra charge for the extra minute

MARY: no time

ANNOUNCEMENTS: trash pickup saturday, bourbon tasting saturday

COT: A reminder from Slapshot about safety and being sure someone has a phone – especially when traveling off campus, and especially now that the weather is warming up.
