4 Ruck and two ran

Light crowd coming out of holiday.  2 ruckers 2 runners

No q source

I’ve been accused of sabotaging folks legs on the mornings of their 5k and 10K runs in the past. So with that being said I was going to let these guys go as Hard or Light as they want to today. It was a very simple warm-up due to the light nature of the first round of work to be completed on the track.

To the track we go stop at the gazebo for 5 HR Merkins. We then slow mosey to the first set of benches by the soccer field for 5 LBCs. We slow mosey to the far end of the track for 5 Jungle Boy Squats. We now head over to the second set of benches by the field for 5 Big Boys. Now head back to the starting point to rinse and repeat adding 5 reps to each exercise as we complete a lap until we reach a total of 25 reps. Then once we finish we’ll subtract 5 reps bringing it back down to the original 5 reps per exercise and if you finish early just keep doing rounds of 5 until time.

Simple enough if you want to be a hammer down, hawg head, stubborn as a mule, ultra elite, badd ass you can. Or if you want to use this as a warm-up for your run today no problem this one is a true you vs you workout.

It was Gumby, Slaw, and myself out here. To be honest I was surprised anyone was here for this one given the run later this morning. I took it a lot easier than the other 2 did. I think they lapped me 2 times but they did finish my last round with me pushing me through to the end. For that I thank you guys.

Pockets had the Q at Old School on this lovely Saturday morning.  Well as you can see by the title Pockets wasn’t here. That’s OK The Show Must Go On as they say. This is why I keep a Rolodex of workouts saved in my Google Drive. After a quick Warm-Up we were off to the Courthouse Square for a bunch exercises and a bunch of rounds of 4 corners. The werk went down as such we ran the 4 corners WOD stack’em and unstack’em style until we pretty much ran out of time.

• Round 1 – 5 Burpees at each corner
• Round 2 – R1+10 Lunges at each corner
• Round 3 – R1+R2+15 HR Merkins at each corner
• Round 4 – R1+R2+R3+20 Squats at each corner
• Round 5 – R1+R2+R3+R4+25 LBCs at each corner
• Round 6 – R1+R2+R3+R4+R5+30 Flutters at each corner

We Unstacked the rounds in reverse order until we were running low on time.

Back to the flag just in time to get the Pledge and COT

Several Saturdays ago Gumby brought the pain at Old School with a grinder of a workout. He hammered us with blocks and running and burpees oh my. Well I must have loved cause I added a little more block work and mashed all that crap up brought it to Folsom on this day in history. It went down like this.

The Exercises

• Thrusters
• Curls
• HR Merkins
• Goblet Squats
• OH Extensions
• Strict Front Raise

Buy in 5 burpees every round. 20 reps of each exercise first round followed by a lap around the tennis courts. Next round was 15 reps of each exercise followed by 2 laps. I believe ya’ll get the picture we kept this style until there were only 5 reps and finished with 5 laps around the courts.

COT

We warmed up. We ran to McQuitter’s Wall. We did a lot of Jump Squats and Step-Ups at the wall and ran the hill beside it too many times to count. Once we finished all rounds here we ran around the block to the 4 way stop light and did several rounds low bar Pull-Ups paired with HR Merkins at the 4 way flashing light. That’s about all I can remember as I’ve slept a lot since then.
