Appreciate everything, regret nothing.” 

6 men gathered in the Okwata gloom, 3 had rucks, 3 didnt… perfect! YHC gave the DISCLAIMER and we were off.

The Thang

Ruck/Run around the fountain and over to a grassy area.  Circled up with a ruck Pax in between no-ruck Pax.

COP #1: Warmup

We did a ruck exercise and a bodyweight exercise, depending where the rucks were at in the circle. One cadence for either exercise at the same time.  #efficient

10x Front Squats IC (Ruck)
10x Squat Jumps IC

10x Bench Press IC (Ruck)
10x Merkins IC

15x Kettlebells OYO
10x Burpees OYO

Pax got to workout out with each of the three rucks…each ruck was special in its own way… so now the Pax will not have buyer’s remorse when they order their own!

Ruck/Mosey over to the House of Pain, and partner up into three Pax.

Pax1) Ruck over the levee to the other side, and tag Pax2 or Pax3 to swap roles.
Pax2) 2x Pullups / 5x Dips As Many Sets As Possible (AMSAP) – lake side of levee
Pax3) Plank Holds (aka FLR – Forward Leaning Rest as the GRT crew says) – neighborhood side of levee…also where Cowbell was resting his little head sleeping in his cozy bed 2 streets down..

Did 3 rounds of this.  Ruck/Mosey over to the lake front.

Bear Crawl Suicides:
Pax starts with 8x Box Jumps at Planter0, then Bear Crawls out to the next Planter based on what round you are on (first round = Planter1, thrid round = Planter3, etc.). Mosey back and repeat.  We did 4 rounds of these, with the fourth round involving about a 40 yard Bear Crawl.

Plank and wait, then circle up for the following:
