My goodness, did it feel great to be back after a bit of R&R. The Gloom wasn’t gloomy at all down by the river (Prettiest AO in The Nation). Mission Statement given to the 6 Dependable Pax who posted and we got started.
THE THANG
YHC had placed two cones approximately 25 yards apart. At one end rested our old friend, the 40 lb sandbag. Each Pax would have a turn with the SB while the remaining Pax rucked laps around the Union Point Park block. Upon completing a lap, a new Pax would peel off and relieve the SB Pax. That Pax would join the remaining group for laps, and so on. Once all Pax had completed the first exercise, we switched up to a different SB-focused exercise.
- SB Exercise Round 1 – SandBag Throws: Pick up and throw SB from one cone to the next and back until relieved.
- SB Exercise Round 2 – Alternating SandBag Shoulder Drops: Pick up SB and let it drop over shoulder. Alternate shoulders on each pick up & drop. Continue until relieved.
Each Pax completed 10 laps for a total of 2 miles.
With time remaining, we circled up for some work on our Ruck Carrying Group:
- Squirrels (Squat with Ruck Curl at top), OMU, 15x
- Overhead Ruck Press, OMU, 15x
- Upright Ruck Row, OMU, 15x
- Bent Over Ruck Row, OMU, 15x
- Rinse & Repeat
MARY
- LSF with Static Ruck Chest Press, IC, 20x
- Skull Crushers, OMU, 20x
- Dying Cockroach with Ruck, IC, 20x
Being dependable meant that while Rucking, the Pax were at a quality pace so as to bring relief to the SB Pax as quickly as possible. It also meant that the SB Pax was getting quality work done even though no one was watching. A full 45 minutes of exertion.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
