WE ARE THE BRUTE SQUAD
FNGs: N/a today, this might have broken any new PAX
Warm Up: All Pax circled up for a count off and pretty standard warmup including side straddle hops, arm circles forward and reverse, seal claps, overhead claps, good mornings, imperial walkers, and hillbillies. All Pax then grabbed a rucksack or other nearby coupon plus some shovel flags for a couple of dark brutal miles on the back 9 complete with some of the steepest hills in Fuquay.
The Workout: Pax returned their coupons and circled up to count off again, this time going from 1-3 to create teams. Instructions were given as well as exercise and rep count demos for each of the 5 upcoming stations(sites). Each group starts at a station and has 15 minutes to complete AMRAP as a team. Then the group much carry an Olympic bar with two 45lb plates down the blue trail and back to the next station. Rinse and repeat until all 5 sites are complete.
Site 1
Atlas stones (2x75lb, 2x114lb)- pick up, carry down and back, then set down (that’s one), Heavy tire – flip over and back is 1, Tractor weights – farmers carry (down and back is 1), Hex bar – deadlifts, Railroad tie – bench press, Olympic bar with 45lb plate – land mines LR=1
Station 2
Keg half full of water – ground pounders, Bertha – single arm rows LR=1, Battle rope – each double arm whip =1, Tires – flip jump (flip tire, jump on tire, and hop back off), Olympic bar with 45lb plate – alternating single arm shoulder press LR=1
Station 3 –
3lb jump rope – each jump is a rep, Bag of wrenches – curls, Sandbag – curls, Tires – flip merkins (flip tire, drop down and do a merkin using the tire), Pain sticks – overhead press, Cinder blocks – blockies (burpees using the block), 45lb plate – wonder bras
Station 4
Pain sticks – partner squat, Fire hose – hose squat, Fire hose – hose stretch, then hose pull (weight plate attached to one end), Kettlebells – snatches, Log with chains – curls, Olympic bar with 45lb plates – bent over rows
Station 5
Shake weight – must be going the whole time or reps don’t count, Fire hose – tricep extensions, 5lb weights – boxing LR=1, Ab wheel – out and in is 1, Kettlebells – swings, Olympic bar with 45lb plates – deadlift
Mary: Divide into teams again for Tug of War and final solo event The Humperdink (golf cart pull using a Harness. Started with one pax then added another in the cart about every 10 ft until the Pax pulling gives out.)
T-Claps: Thanks again to everyone making the Brute Squad CSAUP a reality! 16 Brutes showed up and cranked out over a 2 mile ruck, insane hills, thousands of HEAVY reps, 4 miles carrying 45lb plates and Olympic bars, went to war with the battle rope, and took on the Humperdink. Thanks to the Brute Squad committee who helped turn a bunch of crazy ideas into an actual plan with even more crazy ideas and a heck of a shirt to go along with it!
Prayer: Breach took us out
