Reminder to all of us that self-reliance is a trap, we cannot trust in our own flesh and in our own ability to solve all our problems. Blessings come from above and not from our own ability to make things happen.

Mules

THE SCENE: 30 and clear
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Crossbar brought a digital scale so we all had to weigh sand bags and rucks

SAND BAGS – 2 40#, 3 60#, 1 90#

THA-THANG:
Rucked coupons to the play ground and got into teams of 3.

1 battle buddy farmer carries 2 sand baab up the hill to the bathroom while others do the exercises below.   Everyone made 3 carries.

Ruck squats

Ruck curls

Ruck thrusters

THE MULE

Rucked a lap as the .mule, switching as needed.

The mule is the 90# bag on your shoulders and 2 40# bags as farmer carry.   Or, 3 60# bags.

Watt Rd field

Teams of 3.   1 member front carries the 60# bag while team mates bear crawl with him.   Switch as needed.

That didn’t work out very well cause the front carry wasn’t hard enough and the bear crawl couldn’t keep up.   So we switched it to front carry walking lunges.   That slowed him down!!!

Ruck back to the ao

Take the time to enjoy this season.

Raining, cold, EARLY didn’t matter to the pax.  They all knocked out this workout without any problems except for Shooter counting the manmakers way, way, way too fast.
