High and Low

Today’s workout at #TheRush wasn’t designed to be too difficult from a running perspective. Many other Q’s had beat the legs with running this week so YHC wanted to get high intensity and high numbers of reps in without making the Pax cover too many miles. Difficult to plan, YHC had something in store for the Pax to get heart rate up and burn the calories. Upon arrival, Fertile and See Thru had the rucks on and were rounding the track, strong Extra Credit preparing for #GrowRuck. Other Pax started pulling in, around 5:29 am we had everyone and this is how it went down ….

Warm Up

The Thang

We moseyed to the soccer field to work in a little variation of four corners. Each corner was assigned a different exercise.

• Corner 1 – burpies
• Corner 2 – squat jumps
• Corner 3 – mountain climbers
• Corner 4 – carolina dry docks

You ran to each corner, starting in corner 1 and repeated for three cycles through each corner, increasing the reps by 1 in each corner. The following is what we got done.

• 1 burpie
• 2 squat jumps
• 3 mountain climbers
• 4 dry docks
• 5 burpies
• 6 squat jumps
• 7 mountain climbers
• 8 dry docks
• 9 burpies
• 10 squat jumps

Next we moseyed to the visiting football bleachers and built a pyramid. The Pax completed irkins, box jumps and ran to top of bleachers and back down ….

• 1 Irkin
• 1 Box Jump
• Run to top and back down (15 rows of bleachers)
• 2 Irkins
• 2 Box Jumps
• Run to top and back down
• Rinse and repeat working our way to 10 Irkins and 10 Box Jumps, each time with a mosey a full bleacher run top to bottom

The Pax was moving swiftly this morning. We had time for at least one other exercise. We moseyed over to the home side of the bleachers which contains 33 rows of bleacher.

The Pax continues to grow, not only in numbers but strength as well. Today’s workout was designed to save the legs from running, but it’s impossible to skip legs altogether. The Pax swiftly moved through the exercises, leaving YHC to improvise and create more of a beat down as time went on. Impressed with all Pax members today, getting right at 400 reps of exercises and 36 floors climbed while secretly getting in almost 3 miles. Keep posting and improving your body, mind and spirit. It’s amazing what you can do when doing it with your brothers along your side. You might not beat Hat Trick and G-String but you can beat the fartsack! Post and we’ll see you in the gloom!
