Well I warned everyone that we were going to do some tough shit out here this week and people showed up anyway. This brought joy to my heart as this time of year it’s very easy to stay in the bed due to the cold and rain that we’ve had recently. Once I got everything set up I noticed several heading in from an EC run/ruck and a few more pulling in to the parking lot looking ready for action. With that we got after it with a quick warmup and some stretching. With the 1st part of the Warmup out of the way we’re heading around the corner for a little Triple Nickel on one of our little hilly back roads here in D-Town. Mike Tyson’s on the bottom of the hill and Jungle Boy’s on the top. All finished with Part 2 of the Warmup on to the Track back at the park for the actual workout. This was an AMARP style circuit workout with10 stations setup for 50 sec. of work and 10 sec. of rest/rotation to the next station. Exercises were.

  • Heavy Sandbag Deadlift 90lbs
  • Farmers Carry 2 – 55lb. Sandbags
  • Merkins
  • Riffle Carry 50lb. Block or 55lb. Sandbag
  • Curls 2 – 20lb. Kettlebell Bags
  • Sissy Squats
  • Heavy Sandbag Drag 90lbs.
  • Battle Rope Swings
  • Thrusters 2 – 20lb. Kettlebell Bags
  • Sandbag Rope Pull 55lb. Sandbag

It took a little over 10 min. to complete the circuit one time we got in 4 rounds of it. Well all of us except Leppard. He broke loose to finish a couple of laps around the park with Broke who’s running today in lieu of boot camping.

Everyone who was still around and didn’t bail on the workout helped throw everything back in my truck and we headed back to the parking lot for some final cooldown stretching and the COT. This is when Freight asked Dr. Seuss where He, Oompa and Leppard got their Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh from back in the day. Then as we turned to the Old Dallas High School now turned Old Dallas Old Folks Home for the pledge Def saw some of his old friends and soon to be hallway neighbors looking out the barred windows at us. He gave a nod of solitude towards them as if to say I’ll be back soon guys and that was the Q for the pledge so I let Dr. Seuss lead the way with that.
