The Gastonia PAX are training for many upcoming events: The Mortimer, The Rooster, P200, etc. included in this is a GoRuck Tough (and Light). Many times, an army PT test is incorporated into the the GoRuck. YHC decided to incorporate some of the into today’s Sammich.

We have a FNG this morning, so a semi-complete disclaimer and a summary of the core principles of F3 were covered.

We knock out the Pledge, so now it’s go time.

Before we go ruck, let’s do the Army Push-up and Army Sit-up tests. You have two minutes to do as many reps as possible. There are specific rules on form, rest position, etc. The details can be found online.

A perfect “score” would be 200 points. The minimum passing score is a 60 per exercise per the Army. The score sheets can be found here:

After all had completed the tests, we donned our packs and headed toward Gastone’s hill. Up the hill, stopping at every mailbox on the right for 5 squats. Once at the top, remove your pack and do 25 single count flutters will holding pack over head. 10 upright rows and then put your pack on.

Down the hill, up to the Dollar General, past the Food Lion, over to the wall of the soon to be Planet Fitness. Move your packs to the front and have a seat on the wall.

Recover, 10 upright rows and put your pack back on.

Over to the wall in front of South State Bank for 25 step-ups each leg.

Back to the start for 10 more upright rows to finish it off.

Welcome Peyton Pruitt, now known as Oscar. Hope you continue to come out.
