With the Veteran’s Day GR Tough fast approaching, we thought it would me good to have some extra ruck based training. So we turned a Saturday Convergence into a GoRuck bootcamp. Muggy Tape and Kenwood put together some ideas and made it happen. Argyle’s work schedule got in the way this time (we’ll have to talk to him about that later). So we sent out the invites and rounded up some coupons. Here’s how it went down.
Weather: chilly
Line up near MT’s truck for a quick prayer. We ran down the plan for the day. Warmed up with 10, I mean 15, burpees. Grabbed 2 logs, 2 buckets, and 1 60# sandbag and headed to the lower practice field. We did some basic log drills…
- addressing the log
- getting to shoulder
- overhead shoulder-to-shoulder presses
- log sit-ups
- log squats
One log was left behind as we made our way around the back of the school with the coupons. We stopped at the planter box for 1 round of the 9/11 challenge which consisted of 9 exercises, 11 reps…
- 11 Ruck Box Step-Ups
- 11 Ruck Thrusters
- 11 Ruck Bent Over Rows
- 11 Ruck Power Cleans
- 11 Ruck Push-Ups
- 11 Ruck Swings
- 11 Ruck Sit-Ups
- 11 Ruck Deadlifts
- 11 Ruck Push Jerks
From there we front carried the rucks with coupons for a lap around the track. We stopped at the pole vault area for some more fun…
- Front carry crabwalk
- Rucks on, roll right 5 times, roll left 5 times, rucks off get on belly and rucks straight out, roll right 5 times, roll left 5 times.
- Return bearcrawl back.
- Rucks off get on belly and rucks straight out, low crawl behind your ruck.
- Return with a bear crawl ruck drag.
Grab coupons and exit the track area. Drop the log, drop the sandbag, pick up the daisy-chained 80,60,40# sandbag coupon. Ruck everything back to vehicles where we finished.
Throughout the workout we talked about what to wear, bring, etc. and things to think about (weather, flag, coordination, etc.) and a lot of other things.
100% attendance at Coffeteria was a bonus!
