Great to have Banana’s back out. He said its a convenient work out day and location for him, so no excuses not to come out more often.

Emily’s Revenge GORUCK WOD 100 sandbag burpees 7 rounds of 10 burpees, 10 Russian twists, 10 squats and front carries 46 sandbag burpees
Alright, listen up, you sorry sacks of potential! You think you had a tough week? You think life’s dealin’ you a bad hand? Well, I’m here to tell you, that’s BULLSHIT! Today, we didn’t just talk about overcoming adversity, we punched it in the goddamn mouth! We didn’t just whisper about mental toughness, we screamed it at the top of our lungs! Two hundred and sixteen sandbag burpees. Two. Hundred. And. Sixteen. Did you hear me whining? Did you hear me bitching? NO! Because whining is for the weak, and we are NOT weak! We are WARRIORS! We are built to ENDURE!
We sweat. Good. Means you pushed yourselves. We bled. Better. Means you found your edge. Some of you wanted to quit. That’s where the REAL work begins! That’s where you dig down deep and find that DOG inside you! That’s where you learn what you’re truly capable of!
Did you think it was going to be easy? Did you think it was going to be comfortable? HELL NO! Embrace the suck! Love the pain! Because that pain is what’s forging you into something STRONGER! Something BETTER!
Every single rep was a battle. A battle against your mind. A battle against your body. And every single rep you finished, you WON! You conquered! You proved to yourself that you can push past your perceived limits!
So, next time you think you can’t go on, remember this workout. Remember the 216. Remember the feeling of exhaustion, the taste of vomit, the sting of sweat in your eyes. And then, DIG DEEPER! PUSH HARDER! BECOME THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF!
Now, go out there and CONQUER the rest of your day! Go out there and SHOW THE WORLD WHAT YOU’RE MADE OF! And remember… STAY HARD!
