Just 2 of us today for a little morning ruck. With Bedpan Qing The Boars Nest in 2 weeks, I knew he would be there today and wanted to give him a little flavor for mixing in reps with rucking. I sometimes struggle to find new ideas for ruck workouts so I took to the internet. A quick Google search of “ruck backblasts” gave me some good ideas, but one in particular drew my attention. I found a workout from May 29th by Choker in Memphis that spoke to me. I did modify it a bit.

Bedpan had a bluetooth speaker so we blasted 90s hip hop as we strolled through the mean streets of Dallas, NC.

We head to the playground by the Franklin Gym for our first sets.

  • 1 minute AMRAP squats with the ruck on
  • 2 minute Plank with the ruck on
  • 4 Merkins in cadence with the ruck on
  • 8 Ruck Deadlifts
  • 16 Ruckbag Squat Thrusters
  • 32 Ruckbag Swings (kettlebell swings)

Rucks on, march! We made a quick stop at Pizza Man’s house for Monkey Humpers in his yard, rucked down to the old Rite Aid, navigated the worst sidewalk in Gaston County, and made our way back to Ingles. A little over 2 miles complete and, as planned, we have time for another round of exercises.

So:
– 1 minute AMRAP squats with the ruck on
– 2 minute Plank with the ruck on
– 4 Merkins in cadence with the ruck on
– 8 Ruck Deadlifts
– 16 Ruckbag Squat Thrusters
– 32 Ruckbag Swings (kettlebell swings)

Time!

We joined the Crossroads CoT
