WARMUP: Windmills, 4 count squats, imperial Walker’s, merkins, then light ruck shuffle to loosen everything up.
THE THANG: Buy in: every 2:30 complete the following w/ruck on entire time: 10 squat cleans w/sandbag, 10 merkins, 10 OH sandbag press and 10 bentover sandbag rows. 4 rounds for 10 mins total. Honestly this was a terrible idea. It takes almost the entire 2:30 to complete so very little rest between rounds.
Quick break to recover them grab a couple of sandbags and move to back of school. Grab the logs, 3 PAX per log and move them back to front of school. Each team front rack carried their log the length of the parking lot. On other end perform 10 team overhead log presses then 10 team log squats. Front rack carry log back to start point. Set log down then complete the following: 3 rounds of 3 exercises. 1st round is 21 reps of each, 2nd round is 15, and last round is 9. 3 exercises were front ruck squats, overhead ruck presses, and swings.
Pick up the logs and take them back to spot behind school. Grab sandbags and move back to cars. Couple of minutes left so another 3 round, 3 exercise routine. This time reps are 15, 10, then 5. Exercises were overhead lunges, ruck curls, and flutters. Times up. Work was done and no one was injured. Successful morning!
Thx Sprocket for the opportunity.

THE THANG: The PAX ran to the fancy band training arena-bearcrawled to the field, army crawled and lunge walked to the opposite side. From their we executed an accumulator with Burpees, Squats, Merkins, Shoulder Taps, SSH and LBCs – it was complicated. Afterwards the Pax ran with exercise inserts and said the pledge.

COT:
Why did the Frog cross 160?
WARMUP: Ruck up!
THE THANG:
We left Kinsgley, heading south across 160, in the darkness of the gloom. Our goal was to check on those PAX loafing at The Coach’s Box. Very little traffic this early in the morning, so no troubles crossing. Lots of chatter about the recent Aaron Rodgers injury… could we match his snap count in miles this morning?
We had a great pace down Munn Rd, crossing to get onto FMHS property. Stopped in the student lot to do some exercises IC: Squats, Merkins, Shoulder Press. Ruck Up and continue.
Witnessed some loafing at the Coach’s Box. I guess that’s what happens when Cyclops is DR.
Touched HWY 21 and made the 180.
Stopped at the Gym for a few more exercises OYO: Step Ups and Dips on the benches. Ruck Up!
Good pace back across the parking lots and up the most underrated hill in The Fort by the football stadium.
Sugarbug and Shady began reminiscing of Michigan, it was too dark to tell if any tears were shed. Perhaps YHC will visit one day.
Stopped in the bank parking lot for a few more exercises IC: Squats, Up Right Rows and Shoulder press.
Safely made it back across 160. Made a small lap around the front of Kingsley and back to CoT. All PAX made it 3miles.
Perhaps Aaron Rodgers should ruck during his rehab?
MARY: None
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Were made.
COT: Stays in CoT.
