The School of Ruck was in session this morning at the Covington Trailhead AO under the watchful gaze of the Gipper. Five mumble chattering PAX turned into eight as the guys rolled in hot right in time for the bell. Those who forgot their rucks were sent to the supply cabinet for cinderblocks, and class was promptly called to order.
Warmup;
OH hand claps 20x IC, Torso twists 10x IC, Squats 10x IC, Good Mornings 10x IC, Lateral Lunges 10x IC, and Heel to Toe Up Calf Raises 10x IC.
Mosey to the Justice Center for
The Thang:
The PAX first hit their 6s for three sets of ruck presses and flutter kicks holding the ruck high. 10x IC each set on the presses and 15x IC each set on the flutter kicks.
Next up were the JC Parking Garage stairs. The PAX climbed to the top 6 times, twice one foot every stair, twice one foot every two stairs, and twice with a crossover walk. Two feet every stair laterally always facing the JC on each descent.
Short mosey across the street to the JC Oak Alley. Lunge walk to the first tree, run to the second, rinse and repeat for the entire length of Oak Alley which YHC roughly estimates at 120 yards. Alternate at every tree between OH ruck/cinderblock carries and tip toe walks on the way back to our starting point. Then it was time to partner up for a bear hunt: partner one bear crawls down Oak Alley while his partner runs about 50 years in the opposite direction returning to tag the crawling partner to relieve him. Both partners mosey to the starting point, switch roles, and get after it for another set.
Another short mosey, this time to the benches. Three sets of lateral step ups each leg 10x IC and Merkins 10x IC. Back to the Trailhead just in time for the closing bell. YHC pretty much botched the closing sequence of events but eventually got it right or at least done with the help of his brothers…countorama, nameorama and prayer.
Moleskin:
Everything is harder with a ruck. Everything. Don’t you want to challenge yourself? I thought so. Commit to Grow Ruck 03 today!
Grow Ruck Training Thursday 1900-2030 meet at top level of Justice Center Parking Garage for an on time roll out. Ruck not required, but everyone has a backpack and you can pick up some bricks while we are underway so really there is no excuse.
Chewy is on tap to Q Saturday at the Mandeville Lakefront 0630-0730 with coffeeteria afterwards. Don’t miss it.
Great title there Turbo! I loved that bear hunt exercise. I went a little too far out probably for my own good, but it it was an awesome beat down and fun workout.
Great workout as always Turbo.
