Stop 1. 25 reps – American hammers, mtn. Climbers, squats, SS hops, Rosalitas. Stop 2. 15 reps – merkins, big boy sit-ups, squats, LBCs, plank jacks. Stop 3 20 reps – monkey humpers, calf raises, sumo squats, seal jacks, weezy jeffersons. Stop 4. Reps 10 – flutters, SS hops, mtn. Climbers, American hammers, shoulder taps. Stop 5.

WARMUP: SSH and some merkins
THE THANG: everyone got a coupon. Range from 60ish lb sandbag, 50lb laptop bag, GoRuck pillow, 25lb rucksack,
Lots of cones with exercises written on them. Each PAX toed the line on the field with their coupon. Everyone picked a cone that was facedown and performed the exercise after dragging the coupon some 20 yards via bearcrawls. Perform 10 reps of exercise listed on your cone. Bearcrawl drag coupon back to start line. Grab another cone and rotate to the coupon to the left bc sharing is caring. After everyone got a chance to “experience” the bearcrawls drag of each coupon. We then did some ruck shuffling with each coupon and some more exercises. Big boy burpees and 8 count body bag builders were the crowd favorite
