Ruck It Backblast – Slow Burn

On a muggy, wet morning, 5 men made their way to Union Point to experience the Slow Burn.  After a few weeks off, it was nice to be back.  YHC was a little rusty at first, but found his stride once the group got moving.

After a quick workout, the PAX took off.  The theme of the workout centers around TUT training (Time Under Tension) where all exercises are done with a slow tempo down and quick temp up.  3 count down – 1 count up).  This worked out well for the Q who was slowly easing back into things.   We made our first stop behind the Convention Center for a little pole work.
