Sister Act
The final act in a trifecta of GD Q’s was planned as 45 minutes of leg work. At 5:28, the question remained, what would this entail? With only 6 PAX in attendance, it was looking like a whole lot of pain, but at 5:29 in rolls Tiger and SA to save the day! 8 players is just enough for frisbee, so that’s the call. Various injuries, both physical and emotional, occurred, but everyone had a good time. Mostly.
Until next time,
GD

Q’d up another workout. Wanted to bring something a little extra to the Greatest Ruck AO in Gaston County.
Pledge
The Thang:
The Cadre Roony WOD
Start: 400M Ruck
5 Rounds with pack on:
Finish: 400M Ruck
We ended up completing 3 rounds due to time.
I’ll have to admit doing exercises in cadence was a little extreme. We couldn’t count as we were already gasping for air. We omahad to 150 OYO count right leg only for MTN Climbers and Flutters and 150 OYO overhead claps after the 1st round.
This workout was created when Cadre Roony was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer. GORUCK worked with him to put this WOD together so that you can complete this WOD in support of Cadre Roony. Cadre Roony passed away on April 3rd, 2019 after his battle with pancreatic cancer. More info can be found at the GoFundMe page created for him.

It occurred to me when I scheduled myself to Q Bulldog that it would be my first Q at a live AO since March. Sure I’ve Q’d many Matrix virtual workouts in the interim, but those really aren’t the same as being out in the gloom with your brothers. And just when i was ready to return, hernia strikes. I mean WTF?!?! Anyways, i figured i’d bring my HIPAA Violation routine to Bulldog and add a little twist. It is Bulldog so one should incorporate some Kettlebell work. Arrived 0515 and I see Les Nessman???? Jumped out the ride and he says “So this is what 0530 looks like?” Hell yeah son! Welcome to the GLOOM! As you can see PainLab has been an excellent stepping stone for many PAX. Glad to see you accelerating LN! PAX count: 13,. Mumblechatter was going strong 5 min prior to workout start, someone said at about 5:29:49 “Man that’s jacked up!”, which gave me a great idea:
“Speaking of Jacked Up, let’s start!”
Warmup
Jacked Up:
50 SSH IC
40 Seal Jacks IC
30 Plank Jacks IC
20 Chilly Jacks IC
10 Smurf Jacks IC
Indian Ruck to Hill at W.A. Bess soccer field

Go uphill with KB Stop 10-15 paces up for 7 Goblet Squats for a total of 3 stops (21 goblet squats) until top.

Walk back down hill
