We did some stuff

3 of F3 Gastonia’s finest ruckers got some work in holding each other’s sacks.  Here’s what I remember:

Tube’s been leading the charge, EHing guys to get back out in the Gloom, and doin a great job of it.  Nobody took the bait this week though, and it was just YHC and Tube at 0530.  Castle Rock rolled in hot, and we skipped a warm up and got after it.

The Thang:

Ruck to the parking lot of the Dollar General and stop and unstrap the rucks for some work:

• 10 x Overhead Presses (IC)
• 10 x Double Crunches (IC)
• Circle up hold your rucks out straight.  YHC put down his ruck, so we had 2 rucks being held, and we just held the rucks in front of us with straight arms, then turned clockwise to pass the ruck to the guy with empty arms.  Complete 10 passes, then flapjack and go counterclockwise for 10 passes.  Let’s call this “Hot Potato” so YHC doesn’t have to describe it over and over again.
• 6 inches (Count down from 30)
• 10 x Squats (IC – Pack on)

Ruck back to Riverwood, and down Plantation Trail to the back entrance to Martha’s.  After passing through the woods to the park, we did it again:

• 10 x Overhead Presses (IC)
• 10 x Double Crunches (IC)
• 10 x Hot Potatoes CW
• 10 x Hot Potatoes CCW
• 6 inches (Count down from 30)
• 10 x Squats (IC – Pack on)

Ruck through the park, up the gravel entrance, and back to the bank besides Snoballs for some Group Work:

• 1 person in the group keeps their pack on and grabs another group member’s pack and rucks around the bank, carrying both however they choose
• 2 of the group members do Wall Sits until the other partner gets back
  • If they have to break the Wall Sit, stop for
  • 10 x Dwight Howards (OYO)
• Each partner takes 1 turn carrying 2 rucks

Wrapping that up, we were close to time, and finished a little more work before heading back to the flag

• 10 x Overhead Presses (IC)
• 10 x Double Crunches (IC)

45 minutes on the nose!

• Memorial Day Murph – The Sandlot @ 0700

A good group of regulars so this didn’t go as planned but we did it anyway. Test on core principles as listed on our website. A wrong answer = 5 burpees for the group. Correct answer = 10 squats for the group. They were solid on the order once it was clear what my instructions were so only 5 burpees and 40 squats.

1. Free of charge
2. Open to all men
3. Outdoors, rain or shine
4. Peer led
5. Ends in COT

No bunker crew so we stuck together.

Pleasure to lead this group, thanks.

Gavel out.

YHC was scrolling though the TeamUp app one evening and noticed that Sargento was listed to Q The Labryinth on the 11th. Funny, I don’t recall signing up for that but I’m also sure that mild mannered site Q Dirt wouldn’t make a mistake so the preparation was on. A totally unique weinke was created for the occasion. Lets Go! This is what happened…

5 HIM showed to make themselves better.

Warmup

Pledge of Allegiance

Mosey down to the gate into Martha’s House. Line up for an Indian Run. Do a few progressions of this until we reach the lower parking area.

Triple Nickel – Do 5 CDD’s and run to the other end to do 5 Lunges each leg. Do this 5 times. Q fail, I didn’t read my weinke correctly and forgot to request a NUR in between. Better luck next time.

Mosey down to between the soccer fields and stop for a couple sequences of Duck & Weave. The PAX lined and duck walked while the rear PAX ran to the front by weaving in between the others. It was great.

Now that we’re down at the lush green and dewey soccer fields, lets put them to use!

The Thang – Four Corners Escalator!!!

Corner 1 – 10 Merkins

Corner 2 – 10 Merkins & 20 Heels to Heaven

Corner 3 – 10 Merkins, 20 H2H & 30 Squats

Corner 4 – 10 Merkins, 20 H2H, 30 Squats & 40 Goofballs

That was wet. That was cold. That was awesome!!! It was so good we (YHC) decided to de-escalate the routine. Even more fun…

Mosey toward the start, stopping on the way for some Dora 123. We only had time for 100 Dips and less than 200 Step Ups before we needed to leave for home base. We made it there just in time and we wrapped with the usual. Thanks for the surprising opportunity to lead today men. Be Prepared!!!
