YHC was happy to Q when asked to lead at the 116…a site the ruckers built back up! Informed PAX early, that it was a simple workout, but not an easy one… We started out by lining up some coupons prior to the 0700 start time. We warmed up with SSH, high knees, and a merkin or two. Pax were then instructed to line up shoulder to shoulder along the flag. We bear crawl ruck dragged from the cars to the sidewalk (a good 30-40 yards). The importance of good equipment soon became obvious when PAX were given the next exercise…bear crawl back to the cars with rucks on backs. We then circled up to complete the following exercises which we completed three total rounds of by the end of the beatdown:

  • Swings x10 IC
  • Merkins hand release x10 IC
  • Squats x10 IC
  • Thruster x10 IC
  • Triceps Ext. x10 IC
  • Get-ups (ruck on front) x10 IC
  • Flutters kick x10 IC (4-count)
  • High pull (hands to chin) x10 IC
  • Mountain climbers x 10 IC (4-count)

PAX, now warmed up, grabbed some extra fun things to carry around. (2) 30# KB, (2) 60# sandbags – one firm and one floppy, and a 20# sandbag that Beaker man-handled on top of his weighted ruck. Thats 5 coupons for 8 people…not much break time (if any…) With all this good living, we marched 2×2 to the parking lot just past the bridge to complete round 2 of 3 of the PT exercises above. Stabler was having a blast, so much so that he decided to do 1 aqua burpee to cool off (check twitter). We marched back to the flag getting a total of around 2 miles. We completed the last round pf PT and in a hurry. When all thought we were done, we dug a bit deeper and added 5-6 minutes of hard work. Stay in the fight gentlemen, regardless of where you think the finish is!!

Thankful for the opportunity to Q. Needed a good push this morning and was able to find it as a result of the PAX pushing hard. Inspired to workout next to guys that leave it all out there, day after day. Great work Poppins and all the PAX that showed up this morning.
