Needmore Ruck 6/26

10 Pax took to the hills for a Sun Ruck at Needmore Ruck ( Sprinkler, Double D, Deadbolt, Mookie, Cancun, 8-Bit, Monsanto, Madhatter, Wallaby, and Breach on the Q)

The Workout: We hit the Red trail for a little elevated heart rate movement this week, Pushed through and got around 3 miles and some change as we went of the trail for a little 2nd F at the Breachery Coffeteria before heading back to the parking lot for COT.

Closed in Prayer: Thanking the men for F3 and for being accountable.

Groundpounder 6/25

8 pax took on a warm Sat morning at the Groundpounder. (Cancun, Forceps, Gump, Cupid, Pumpkin Spice, Finkle 8-bit, and Breach on the Q) 

Warm Up: 22 counts of ( SSH, Windmills, Frankensteins Imperial Walkers/Hillbilles and Squats)

The Workout: What would ground pounder be without some rock work, so we moseyed over to the rock pile to get a rock to share. All pax would perform an exercise and then move around the circle in a plank position and do a rock merkin at each rock you pass, so caring was absolutely sharing. We then took a short mosey up and down the hills in a snake pattern to make bystanders think that we didn’t know where we were going, a quick stop at the railing for some Irkins and Dips before heading over to the basketball court.

We split into 2 teams of 4 and did what can only be described as backyard fast-break basketball. Our shooting and dribbling skills could use some work, but “Shaq” Cancun used his size to his advantage and got a lot of rebounds along the way. Overall it was a sweaty rendition of summer b-ball and no injuries were reported.

Announcements: Still looking for volunteers for the 5th celebration in HS, Picnic on July 30th

The Workout:

In my preblast I’d already informed the PAX this would be no frills – simply yet effective. We stuck to that approach.

Head over to the halfpipe for 11s. One side of the halfpipe was unusable due to a fallen tree from the storms, so we audibled and did 11s just on the one side aka the quarterpipe. Squats at the top, standard merkins at the bottom.

Headed over to the playground for 3 rounds of step-ups on the wall x 15 each leg, urkins, dips.

Moseyed to the bathroom area in front of the soccer fields for 3 rounds of people’s chair, plank hold, BTTW x 15 each PAX, did x11 on the last round to make it 41 for 41st day of 75 hard.

Moseyed to the trees and picked up cinderblocks for some coupon work. PAX circled up and completed overhead press, chest press, skullcrushers, ruh rohs, goblet squats, heels to heaven with block overhead.

Returned coupons to their hideout in the trees. A little light stretching…have a nice day…

PAX moseyed around the soccer field to the Ivan parking lot. There we partnered up – PAX ran opposite ways around the parking lot and completed 5 rounds of 10x pattycake merkins on one side, then 10 pattycake WW2s on the other side. Some complaining came from the PAX…something said about already having a mile on the watch…the beatings would continue until morale improved….

Moseyed to the amphitheater and completed 3 rounds of heels to heaven with legs hanging off of the edge of the lower wall, irkins, and dips. Then completed 3 rounds of people’s chair – 15 count each PAX, with chillcut plank hold 15 count each PAX in between. Observed a fair amount of “local art” on the amphitheater. Was it impressionist? Abstract? Still life? Who knows…

Moseyed to the rock pile – did a circuit of overhead press, chest press, ruh rohs, skullcrushers, goblet squats, return your rocks

Moseyed to the picnic shelter for 2 rounds of up and over the picnic tables.
