Ruck It BackBlast – What’s The Combo?

A Pax of 7 greeted this fine morning by posting for Ruck It, and ready to do hard things.  Welcome back from IR, Cantore.  Our inspiration was drawn from the weather, a combination of both wet and windy, (not sure where Cornfed gets his forecast, but I digress) so our routine consisted of various Ruckercise combinations.  Mission Statement given and a reminder that F3 takes place rain or shine, hot or cold.  YHC polled the Pax for the level of suck they wanted to embrace and the answer was a combination of both loud and clear — Embrace the Full Suck.  With the appropriate level of both motivation and invigoration, we got started in the cool and wet gazebo.

  • Squat with Ruck Curl, OMD, 25x
  • Sit-Ups with Overhead Ruck Hold, OMU, 20x
  • Ultra Short Ruck from Gazebo to grass – about 15 yards
  • Bear Crawl with Ruck Drag – about 40 yards (This was amazing!)
  • Ruck up and head down S. Front St. until Pax reaches RR tracks. Switch to Ruck on Front about halfway.
  • Lunge Walk with Overhead Ruck Press Hold – about 40 yards (Shoulders melting and legs burning and back aching)
  • Ruck up and around back side of Tryon Palace on Eden St. and stop roughly 35 yards short of Fleet St.
  • Caterpillars remaining distance to Fleet St.
  • Ruck Up for short walk on Eden St. and stop approx. 40 yards shy of Pollock St.
  • Partner Up:  Partner A Suitcase Carry 2 Rucks to Pollock St. and back, Partner B Sumo Squat; Flapjack
  • Ruck Up and retrace route with stop at Convention Center Gazebo
  • LSF with Ruck Chest Press, IC, 20x
  • COT for NameORama and Prayer
  • Hard Stop @ 0620, but Pax still had to Ruck back to Union Point Park – YHC needs to manage time and distance better.

Did not get a chance to do some other combinations.  Will have to hold these until a later date.  A big shout out to the Pax who willingly met and embraced The Suck head on.  Excellent work!
