We were missing some regulars but 5 strong pax gathered in the RTL gloom for a Grinder – Big Tuna style (and that’s one “e” that you don’t want to forget! Scrum had a reserve sandbag that was ready to be used and Big Tuna brought out his brand new Frontline Athletics 40 lb sandbag (aka the F3 Pax knockoff of GoRuck).
WARMUP: Ruck around the front parking lot area and then back to the start.
THE THANG: 3 rounds of the BT Grinder: deadlift (x10), mericans (x15), lunges (x20), squats (x15), overhead press (x10) followed by SB carry or SB squat/lunge combo to nearby light pole and back. Ruck around the parking lot and some adjacent areas after each round of the Grinder and then get back to it!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Sign up for a Q and get after it! Some chatter about upcoming local GoRuck events over 4th of July – more details to be provided.
COT: Prayers were lifted up. On site coffee was provided by heatstroke and everyone enjoyed all of the F’s today! Always an honor to lead this group!
