Growruck and Ironpax

8 total at Old School Saturday morning. Well 7 really. Gumby was tri training but will give a pass and include him because he did do work fo sho! 3 put in 3.5ec before hand.

Warmup:

Some SSH and stretches

TheThang:

We partnered up and drug the 7′ piece of telephone pole out of the back of my truck. First two throw the pole on their shoulders and start around the track. Everyone else does 5 burpees and then catches up with them. The next two take the log and we do 5 burpees again. We did this rotating out for 1.5 laps.

At the end of the field we started flipping the log. Each person flips it twice while everyone else does lunges along side. We rotated until we reached the other end.

At the other end we partnered back up. With the log on it’s side each set of partners take turns rolling the log about 20 yds and back. This was supposed to be done in a somewhat plank position but it proved to difficult for most so they bailed. While they rolled the log the rest of the group rotated through some hand release merkins, jump squats and WW2 situps.

Ruck training is over lets get ready for some ironpax. This was shortened version of one from 2018 or 2019. 25 squats, 20 WWI, 15 Merkins, 10 Bonnie Blairs, 5 burpees, 400m run x 4. We plowed right through this way faster than expected. Some chose good form some chose well you know.

Let’s mosey. Some extra time worked out well because I was looking for some wall to do some muscle ups on and needed to check someout behind Carr. We made our way there stopping to do some of the ironpax exercises. We found the wall and it worked pretty well so we did 5 there before making our way back stopping to do the rest of the ironpax exercises to complete the round.

Be A Better Human

Tiger and VooDoo took the reigns at The Yank and The Bunker on 8/14.  Started with the entire group together.  YHC begins with the mission of F3, To plant grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.  Added a few words that the workouts are one of the ways to achieve a greater purpose.  Every man challenge himself to give his best effort every single time.  We don’t post to workout, we post to get better.

SSH, IW, gravel pickers, morocan night clubs (arm circles), all 15 X IC, also added some stretches.  VooDoo takes his, rest come with me.

Mosey up main st to old Sacred Heart campus, pick up Termite along the way.  Back side of property has on old tennis court, head there.  Just so happens there are many cinder blocks at the courts (YHC knew this, but did not know that most are of the extra larger variety).  There are three normal blocks and many big ones.  Grab one and let’s go.  Shoulder press, curls, chest press and squat all 100 reps.  40 blockies and 4 rifle carry to the opposite end of courts and back.  Any combination you want.  YHC chose to do 25 reps and 10 blockies then rifle carry.  Made it through three rounds plus one set of chest press.  No one finished before time to mosey back.  Tough workout with regular blocks, the big ones made it really tough.

Back to the Yank.  Pledge.

YHC came across a video earlier in the week of Ernie Johnson, host of NBA on TNT, that is very powerful, worth a watch

Three Amigos………and………Tube

It was a rainy Tuesday morning at the Bulldog.  Spiderman, Hermey, and myself were getting it in doing some 11’s and other exercises.  Conversation was good, mumble chatter was moving along nicely.  Roughly 30 mins in we just happened to speaking of Tube and lo and behold Tube rolls up.  His ears must have been burning.  Better late (very) than never.  We all had a good time tho.
