A Magnificent Seven came out to Goyne Park for a birthday celebration. YHC wanted to make sure the PAX knew the date and age of his mother, so all sets were either 7, 29, 55 (as in 1955), and 70 reps After a brief warmup (maybe too brief) We started with 7 sprints across the cowpasture. Pool Boy was sandbagging, because he left us all in the dust on the last sprint. Then to the pavilion for 29 chair dips to the yoga mat for 29 heels to heaven, 7 WW2s, 29 American Hammers, 7 burpees Back to the parking…

Still feeling the sting from the 25–4 loss on July 22 in ultimate, we opened with 100 Side Straddle Hops—25 for every point allowed, descending in height until the silent count, where the Q misfired and dropped arms early. The penalty: 10 burpees for all. From there, we pushed through a soaked U-shaped grinder of merkins, jump squats, and monkey humpers, followed by a brutal fence-line rotation on the tennis courts—core, legs, lungs all tested while one ran. A hill-triple-check brought the grind home, capped by a plank hold with each man choosing his own flavor of merkin. Warmarama: Don…
16 HIM’s & 2.0’s assembled at Rockwood Park for a School of RUCK. The DTH Tacoma was heavy laden with extra rucks, bags, and bricks, and all warriors were loaded down before setting off into the woods. YHC found a couple nice cabers in the woods for the kids to take turns carrying. On our 1.5 mile trek we made it down to the lake and back, and there were a couple brief COP’s for squats and lunges along the way. We even attempted teaching and implementing the GrowRuck exercise of a thee-man team carrying one wounded warrior. It was…

Only way to be the heat and humidity is getting out there early! Solo Q at Morning Wood for YHC started with rucking the perimeter loop walking track which is now painted brightly green. There’s been a lot going on of late, and the quiet time rucking with Jesus created space for some good mental mumble chatter. Ended up thinking about how I hadn’t run in a while and the green loop track could be a nice distance to set a Base time with my Garmin. Rucked back to the truck and ditched the bag. Garmin set to go. Two…

Nine noble lads embarked on a 3.5mi ruck around Larus Park and the Stony Point Mall on this week’s episode of Ruckhenge. YHC brought a couple of gift bags for the PAX to share, each weighing approximately 40lbs. Coffeerama at Einstein’s followed as per usual and the PAX had a great discussion on chapter 3 of H. Muller’s Uses of the Past, which deals with Judaism, Christianity, and their proliferation throughout history. Next week we turn our attention to Ancient Greece. Prayers for Pad Thai and his M as they are expecting baby #2 at any day now, as well…

After yesterday’s CSAUP over at v Satan’s Hill(where my heart rate for that workout I averaged 143bpm), I did not want to lead. I had the previous week I was willing to do the COP, but it was time to see can I call on someone and real quick come up with something. They did not disappoint, 10 mercanaries in training came out on another Saturday in which the sun hot a certain spot, the humidity cranked up i started it with a little COP(SSHs, Don Quixote, Helicopters, imperial Walkers, Merkins, LBCs) after we finished, I turned it over to…
