120 pounds of fun!

Leave a comment

Cold but glorious morning in the gloom. 5 fellow pax joined me for the following.

Warmup:

20 SSH IC
10 Windmill IC
3 burpees
20 seal jacks
15 MNC
3 burpees
15 plank jacks
Stretch(looked at a very low flying plane)
15 Mountain climbers
3 burpees

Thang:

Everyone partnered up got a sandbag and engaged in a lazy Dora… with a twist.

Partner 1 does 10 reps with a sandbag while partner 2 does as many reps as they can of the accompanying exercise. Each partner switches off after 10 reps until the cumulative total is met.

60 Man makers with Burpees
60 squats with squats
60 curls with flutters
60 flutter press with LBCS

Now every minute… on the minute a timer would go off and everyone had to run to the end of the parking lot and back. This made it fun!

After this routine we did an Indian “run” (it was really more of a walk) where the leaders would partner carry the 120lbs sandbag while the 6 had to do 10 HR merkins to catch up. We made it around the parking lot twice before tapping out with about 2ish minutes left. I closed us out with some Mary and that was it.

Big thanks to Maximas for the lead and to all who showed.

Run or ruck

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
THE THANG: run 4 miles
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS:was a lot of fun running this morning. Did learn about OldBay new health monitor to tell him if he has had enough sleep, if h he is in his target heart rate, and a lot of other really cool stuff. He and I might differ on State schools but both like technology. Twister and Cakeboss are really getting after the runs and sprocket likes to double down. Delorean gets his in even if at the wrong location.
COT:health

Circling Cicadas Truck

Leave a comment

YHC’s first ruck Q ever. Thanks to Esso for letting me borrow his ruck. Tried to be mindful of the guys that showed up to just ruck miles here or maybe take it lighter, but still wanted to make it challenging. I also didn’t realize that Sofrito was nursing up foot injury

So we took a short loop around the Kingsley lake and did a little PT (5 merkins, 10 squats (some Bulgarian)) on a frozen bridge. Then we hoofed it back to the other Kingsley loop where I had preset 4 sandbags. PAX had a fun time, discovering that there was more than one waiting for us. I also didn’t call more than just five man makers with a ruck on and the sandbag (those are hard). It was finding and carrying the hidden kettlebells at the end that was a special delight

Made it 3 miles (which I didn’t realize was a minnow pond esque quota); now I know

Honestly, I wasn’t sure it was challenging enough, but Duck was sweating bullets at COT. Maybe that was just cause 2/1/2024 his 42nd birthday 🥳

Got in a bit of leg work and by the end most everyone was carrying upwards of 90+ pounds. Thanks Maximus and Battle Bot for letting me swipe the sandbags at Kitchen Sink yesterday
