In the spirit of my final weeks in Greenville, Skynyrd asked me to Q Ruck ready. I accepted and decided to use a workout I have been doing during the quarantine. Before starting, Skynyrd, Haavaad, Patch, and I enjoyed a EC ruck around the park. At 5:15 we were joined by Candy Cane, Bud-wies-er, and Padre.
Warm up
-10 squats
-15 Good mornings

Workout
As we lined up, I explained the workout I knew as the Roman Legion Workout. The original workout is:
Ruck 2 Minutes
20 Merkins
Ruck 2 minutes
20 Lunges
Ruck 2 Minutes
20 Thrusters
Ruck 2 minutes
Repeat sets until end of ruck or failure (as was told to me in the article I read).
For this workout, I modified it. I set my phone timer to 2 minutes, we would ruck until the alarm went off (With collective groans about the sound) then we did different exercises including:
10-20 Ruck Thrusters
10 Merkins
20 4-count flutter kicks w/ ruck overhead
10-20 squats
10 ruck lunges
