Today is day #1 of the 8th Annual IronPax Challenge, with a straightforward beatodwn looming this week.
We decided to put a Ruck twist on it:
Warm-O-Rama:
Twists IC
SSH IC
Cotton Pickers IC
Ruck loop around the flagpoles and back
Ruckees (Burpee with ruck thruster) x 2
Rucked up Merkins x 2
Rucked up lunges x 2 (both legs = 1 rep)
Big boy situps (no ruck) x 2
Rucked up squats x 2
THE THANG:

Our modified version:
Round 1: 5 Ruckees –> Shuttle Ruck (shuffle?)
Round 2: 5 Ruckees –> 15 Rucked up Merkins –> Shuttle Ruck (shuffle?)
Round 3: 5 Ruckees –> 15 Rucked up Merkins –> –> 25 Lunges (each leg, 50 total) –> Shuttle Ruck (shuffle?)
Round 4: 5 Ruckees –> 15 Rucked up Merkins –> –> 25 Lunges (each leg, 50 total) –> 50 (Ruckless) Big Boy Situps –> Shuttle Ruck (shuffle?)
Round 5: 5 Ruckees –> 15 Rucked up Merkins –> –> 25 Lunges (each leg, 50 total) –> 50 (Ruckless) Big Boy Situps –> 75 Rucked up Squats –> Shuttle Ruck (shuffle?)
All for time, Pax finished between 21 and 26 minutes.
With time to spare, we took a reverse ruck lap, where we encountered a Hyundai coupe with hazard lights on at the intersection and smoke coming from the hood. #TClaps to Zalinsky the Cavalier for offering to give it a push, getting her safely off the road and into a parking space at Union Point Park. Well done stud!
We rucked along the river and back to StartEx, where we called it 2 minutes early to count, name, and pray.
#TClaps to Lotus for seeing the Preblast and posting this morning!
Have a great week HIMs!
