Grout put on slack he needed a Q as he had a shoulder injury and needed a Q.  I typically wait for a little bit to see if someone else jumps on it, so when I saw nobody had I knew I should take it.  I struggled with an idea then the farmer carry idea came to me.  Knew I had to incorporate that, I then checked some recent backblasts and wanted to focus on the rounds. Met up for EC with Rafiki, Silverback, and Hot Spot.  I wasn’t feeling well so had to take two restroom breaks on the run so I was worried about Qing.  All good though, got it together and was ready to roll.

NoIDeer also did a solo EC Ruck.

The Thang:

Directions were simple and focused on low, but quality reps.  High reps mean guys sacrifice form and I have seen some Miley Cyrus squats lately trying to get a high number completed. Form was key today and just focused on lower numbers but rounds.

Round 1: Partner up with similar weight.  One partner carries while other does exercises.  Did both exercises and 2 carries each round.

Farmer Carry two weights to second tree.

Ranger Merkin

Copper Head Squat

Round 2 Same directions but to the first well.

Side Lunge

Carolina DD (Mumblechatter strong for this one.)

Announcements:

Sasquatch July 27th.  All hands on deck needed.  Support, running, rucking this is a major event so many hands are needed to pull this off.  See me for any questions and how to help.

Moleskin:

Fun workout by all, I get accused multiple times of having couch Q’s and of course we all are guilty of this from time to time.  This however was not a couch Q!  I get fixated on an idea like today was the Farmer Carry and I think about how to do it and bring the most pain.  My second thought was form, so I wanted to take into account good form for all the PAX.  High reps are OK sometimes, but guys sacrifice form.  Quality over quantity is a good rule of thumb.
