  • Margaritas on the Rucks week 1 – from Fracsac

    11 Pax made a choice to take the DRP on their journey to get right and posted to the Mothership. But 7 of those were posting to the Bawbwa Wawa and chose to push themselves with a ruck workout. With a couple shovel flags planted, disclaimer was given, then:

    Ruck up and mosey to the Great Lawn. Dismount rucks for a quick warmup:

    IW x 15
    Abe Vigodas x 10
    GG x 10
    AC x 10 both ways
    SSH IC x 31

    Time to get down to business with the Alamo Margarita on the Rucks “Ruck ‘n Roll”. Sort of like an IPC for Ruckers!

    As many rounds as you can compete in 45 minutes:

    -Ruck Chin ups x 10 with ruck held
    -8 count body builders x 10 wearing ruck
    -Flutter kicks x 10 with ruck held
    -Brickyard x 10 (#Crowdpleaser)
    -It’s squat, curl, thrust up overhead, lunge each leg

  • Foundry Leg Furnace (The Foundry 2021-03-10) – from Catfish

    8 PAX at the Foundry this morning.

    Started with a mosey over to the track for abe vigodas, grass grabbers, and 8-counts.

    Moseyed to back of the museum for a wall-sit / bat wings / leg beatdown. Started with wall-sit + forward arm circles, then low slow squats. Next, wall-sit + backward arm circles, then lunges. Next, wall-sit + overhead claps, then monkey humpers. Next, wall-sit + seal claps, then imperial squat walkers. Finally, wall-sit + moroccan night clubs.

    Moseyed to museum side steps for calf raises – normal, then toes in, then toes out. Topped off with left leg only, then right leg only. Brutal.

    Moseyed to the front of the museum for deep-sea divers. Then grabbed LBCs, flutter kicks, freddie mercuries, and peter parker peters to round out the core burn.

    Back of museum again for donkey kicks, just to be sure our legs would feel it later.

    Indian run back to flag zone. On the way, found a young lady who was stuck in the mud due to a parking job gone horrifically awry. PAX scrummed up on the car and successfully extricated it from the mire. Good deed for the day accomplished.

    Back to flag for EMOM burpees and OYO merkins to finish out. COT to close.

  • Time to use our arms again – from Mariah

    Large crowd for the first Wolfpack of March, and after a quick disclaimer we moseyed across St Charles to Loyola’s Palm Court for a Warm up. Like many, I’ve been wearing out the miles all of February for Run Cajun Run, and while I can now run fast and far, I can barely open a jar…time for a bit of upper body work.

    Warm up (all 15 ct in cadence):
    SSH, Peter Parker, Windmills, Carolina Drydock, Parker Peter

    Mosey over to the base of the mountain, at which point it was clear our numbers were problematic…we split into two waves and proceeded up the ramp for 2 rounds of BLIMPS with exercises at each landing.
    Burpees > Lunges > Imperial Walkers > Merkins > Plankjacks > Squats….repeato until the top.

    Large oval/ring of fire on the roof: merkins/wide arms/ diamonds

    Mary in cadence (15 ct): flutters, dollys, Russian twist, dying cockroach
    15 merkins OYO, then back down the ramps and out to the…

    Benches for the following (again 15ct in cadence):
    Dips >
    RL step ups >
    Incline merkins >
    LL step ups…
    ..OH SWEET JESUS, WHAT IS THAT SMELL?? Evacuate and hot mosey away from the truck pumping out the septic tank…. regroup at Palm Court and resume…
    LL step ups >
    Dips >
    RL Power-ups >
    LL Power-ups >
    All Ya Got Derkins.

    Mosey back to the flag for COT.

    33 pax for the workout, and welcome to FNG Will Jones from Son of a Saint, known now as The Beast.

    We gathered for a group Run Cajun Run photo with oversized check for over $6700 which we presented to Will and SoaS, which is amazing. I know I speak for many in being incredibly proud of both the financial support we are able to give, but also the fact that 200 of us and our NOLA friends stepped up to participate in Run Cajun Run and demonstrate our support for SoaS last month. Our support will surely have a direct impact on many young men in our community, providing hope, mentorship and a positive path.

    As always Thank You for the daily accountability and for the opportunity to lead.

    Until next time
    Xoxo,
    Mariah

  • RED – Tribute to the 141 and the 256 – especially Army Specialist SPC Jean-Paul Tujague Jr – from Hokie

    Technically Army Specialist SPC Jean-Paul Tujague Jr is in the 141st (Washington Artillery) which is attached to the 256th Infantry Brigade, so we paid tribute and respect with 141 Merkins and 256 Big Boy Sit Ups… broken down into six rounds.

    We started at the gathering point and moseyed to the rock pile and then onto the tree lines field.

    Round 1 – 16 Merkins, run across field from one tree line by baseball field to the other tree line near the gym lot, 26 Big Boy Sit Ups (BB), run back across the field, grab your rock and do shoulder presses waiting on the 6.

    Round 2 – 25 Merkins, run across, 30 BB, run across, grab rock for curls waiting on the six

    Rounds 3-5 — 25 Merkins, run, 50 BB, run and use rock while waiting on six with triceps (round 3), rows (round 4) and chest presses (round 5).

    Round 6 – 25 Merkins, Run, 50 BB, and stay in lot doing Side Straddle Hops waiting on the six.

    While in lot, we planked and bird dogged for 14.1 seconds and then again for 25.6 seconds.

    We then ran back to gather our rocks and return towards the rock pile for 25 (.6 was silent) more chest presses and (14 (.1 was silent) box CUTTER’S with our rocks overhead..

    Mosey back to the Flag for Mary and COT. At request of Boo Boo, Penguins saved us after Jay-Lo’s by Scantron.

    Special gratitude to all those who serve!

    Thank you for allowing this old man the opportunity to lead.
