Rucking and (Big) Rocking

Rucking and (Big) Rocking

This is a double-decker BB. Deal with it.

WEDNESDAY 

The nameless sandbag/ruck workout at SCMS featuring YHC, Geraldo and Proehl.

6 Cones or Markers or whatever spaced down…you are going to do suicides on these.
Cone 6
Cone 5
Cone 4
Cone 3
Cone 2
Cone 1
Start

ALL Suits and Cards 2 – 6 = Suicide Cone touches.
Example: draw a number 2 card (Two Cone touches): Run to Cone 1, back to Start, run to Cone 2 and back to start. Done.

Example: draw a number 5 card (Five Cone touches): Start and Run to Cone 1, back to Start, run to Cone 2, back to Start, run to Cone 3, back to Start, run to Cone 4, back to start, run to Cone 5, back to Start. Done.

Rest of the cards:

Hearts: Jumping Jacks
Spades: Burpees
Clubs: Push Ups
Diamonds: Squats
Face Cards = 15 reps
Aces = 20 reps
Jokers = Run a lap

The verdict: If you want to feel old and out of shape. Workout with Proehl. He’s 19/20 in the army and crushes every workout he attends. Also, he’s super nice. Geraldo gave us the back round on this workout and let us know you could face it twice at a GORUCK event.

FRIDAY – The Brave
Eight hombres moseyed to Big Rock and did an AMRAP around the boulders descending and ascending a nice hill filled with roots and rocks.

The Verdict: Be sure to check Slack, keep an extra headlamp in your car and make sure those batteries are charged.

As I introduced the crew to Big Rock I mentioned that these boulders were a gathering place for Native Americans. To survive in those time you needed to be fit. Hunting, hiking, tracking and foraging took strong bodies. You needed fellowship. Men worked in teams to find food and build shelter. Lastly, those men, all men, need faith. We need to know that there is a power and purpose beyond ourselves. We need all three Fs.
