A nod to Carly
All All Things Rucking BackblastsMay 2nd, 2023
Q: Scrum
PAX: Hacksaw, Gulfstream, heatstroke, Gapper, WaWa, Scrum
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
WARMUP:
Mosey on out to the second pole, a few SSH’s, Penny Pickers, Windmills, shoulder circles – then mosey back to the cars (and the 1200 lbs of sandbags and kettle bells)
THE THANG:
Since YHC signed up for Joe Baker Coaching, we got to do one of his workouts first:
– 10 Ruck Thrusters
– 50 SSH (4 count)
– 10 Ruck Thrusters
– 50 Squats
– 10 Ruck Thrusters
– 50 Shoulder Taps (Total)
– 10 Ruck Thrusters
– 50 lunges (total)
– 10 Ruck Thrusters
– 50 Hand Release Pushups
– 10 Ruck Thrusters
– 50 4 count Flutter Kicks
Once we were done with that YHC explained what we were going to do with the sandbags and other misc implements of pain. As a team, we moved the sandbags from the starting spot to the next pole, then once we got all the weight there, we moved it all to the next pole, rinse and repeat till we hit the 5th pole. Then we moved it all back. At some point @gapper added it all up to around 1200lbs. (He is an english major, so give or take…). YHC once again he was a Q for the people and agreed to Heatstrokes suggestion to farmer carry everything the last section.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– We will be starting up Thursday RTL’s, same bat time, same bat channel.
– For those of us doing Pathfinder, we will be doing pre-rucks on Tuesday’s stating at 5:00am so we can get 3 miles in before the beatdown, working toward the ’36-Mile Pre/Post Workout Ruck Challenge’
– Since @gapper already did his first 3 miler, the rest of us that (want to do that) are meeting at 5:00am at the speedway to get 3 miles in before Thursdays workout. We have to catchup!
COT:
Prayers for:
– Heatstrokes family as they adjust to his FIL living with them.
– Hacksaws Sister as she is dealing with cancer and they are looking for a long-term care facility
– Scrums daughter – Pregnant and due the end of June!
A great effort by all today, as always, it was an honor to workout with you all.
YHC had a few hiccups with the Bluetooth speaker, but Hacksaw came to the rescue!
The workout was partially inspired by the Goruck games, specifically Carly Wopat and Gapper’s telling of the story (at least 4x in YHC’s presence). Look her up…
Thanks to all for bringing out their gear. That 120lb sandbag was the beast.
Peppa and Kojak – you were missed…
