  • Fast-N-Hard

    Nine speed-ruck studs looped Rockwood a few times this morning, stopping a couple times for variable squats, and also completed 50 yards of Polar Bears up a hill. GTE training continues – some will be ready when the day comes. Keep posting fellas! šŸ’ŖšŸ«µšŸ”„~DTH

  • Heavy Stuff, Repeato

    A rabble of 15 studly gloom warriors accepted todayā€™s Ruck challenge, including NTBā€™s two high-spirited FNGā€™s. Yoko and Sandy (75lb punching bag & 50lb sand bag) joined the PAX from the get-go, and we didnā€™t travel far before collecting all four 8ā€™ logs plus other cindies. Hereā€™s how the PAX carried ā€˜em:

    The THANG: 

    WARMERAMA:

    • Welcome & Disclaimer

    • Collect x4 eight foot telephone poles and a number of cinder blocks
    • Ruck the woods loop behind DTHā€™s house
    • Circle up at the Shed & stretch

    TRIPLE CHECK:

    • Get into groups of four
    • 2-man log carry the woods loop
    • Overhead press using either ruck or Cindy
    • Squats +/- holding Cindy
    • Stop once all PAX have carried the logs for three loops
    • Return all coupons

    LOVE HILL:

    • Speed Ruck out onto Stratford and to the bottom of Love Hill
    • Lunge half way up, then ruck backwards the rest of the way, then hug a tree for the Six

    • Counterama # 15
    • Namerama *will wait to name the FNGā€™s until they post to a legit AO
    • Announcerama (see Below)
    • YHC took the PAX out in Prayer

    NMS:Ā Ā Solid crowd for the OTB ruck today! Congrats to LWOODS breaking the seal on his first of many rucks!

  • Extra weight

    5 of RVA’s elite rucking crew threw on some weighted packs, grabbed some extra weight, and headed out for the morning. Route was Libbie Market, down the hills to the bat cave and to the Huguenot Bridge – cup o’ joe on the bridge, back up the hills. Tclaps to Heist for grabbing the extra 40# and not giving it up for the return up the hills. Good to see the large Sunday Funday crew at Libbie Market post ruck.
