Summer Days at The Fighting Yank

So YHC had the reigns at his old stomping grounds in central Belmont this morning to bring a beat down to the pax of F3 eastern Gaston today. Was preceded by a speed ruck training session with Tiger, Bubba Sparks, Flintstone, and Voodoo, all accomplished in their own right in the rucking world. Did @ 3 miles and pain stations where we did a cocktail of 20 merkins, squats, flutter kicks, presses and squat thrusters to prepare for GTE 24. Great work on a humid but not really too bad summer morning. Then on to the Fighting yank as boot campers went one way and Bunker pax the other.

COP – under the pavillion in the park.

SSH X 20

Cotton pickers X 20

Grapevine stretches

Mtn. Climbers X 20

LBCs X 20

Halfpipes 2X, plank jacks 5X on the top of heartbreak hill, 5 burpees at the bottom, 5 ass to the road monkey humpers  on the street. gets the blood flowing!

Up to the Field of Dreams to meet with Dr. Kevorkian and partake of some partner assisted suicides.

Way this goes is P1 goes halfway and does 5X of the called work, goes to the end and does 10X and then runs back. P2 does teh called work the whole time. Then things flip and it’s rinse and repeat the other way.

Round 1 – HR Merkins

Round 2 – Big Boys

Round 3 – CDDs

Round 4 – Squats

Mosey on up to the corner of Knowledge for some bench work

5X, 10X, 15X

Dips

Stepups

Dirkins

Skip jump to halfway to the school steps, Lunge walk to the end.

Bulgarian split squats on the steps 10X each side.

Same mode of transportation back to the COK benches. Mosey down to the pavillion area as the 4th Quarter starts!

Guess what we do in the 4th quarter? yep, you guessed it. Bear Crawl Slalom! This time in the shade on the walkway in the park. Everyone gets three turns. This was a good push!

Now for more of the 4th Quarter push! With a triple nickel that featured 5 merkins in the pavillion and 5 jump squats at the top of heartbreak hill. Reinforces that we work to get tougher in the 4th quarter. That’s the difference maker in life.

Finish with a 2 minute plank then up to The Yank for a pledge with the Bunker boys and COT.

NMM:

Humid morning, not unbearable but reminded us of the season. Lots of good work done today. Welcome FNG Swamp Rat! Another Eagle Park pax! How about it boys! Love to have you in the mix. Great work today. Also have to single out Grapevine for his push today. hanging tough and getting better. The way it’s supposed to be! Also Brutus and his mission trip to Uganda. Service!

Prayers up for Turtleman and others. YHC talked a little about who we are in a world of chaos and we have to step up and be the leaders that pull us through. Our families and communities. More on that from YHC in weeks to come. We’re going to get in the mix men! It’s time.

Honored to lead today. Great group.

Tesla, out.
