Ruck PT

Great to have Trey back with us after his North Pacific trip.  Yesterday, he brought his son, Grady. This is how you scale a workout.  Smaller ruck, smaller sandbag, same exercises.  Good work Grady and Trey!

Happy Birthday Michael Miller!  How did you like the 60 pound ruck? 

By RRL tradition, we wear a weight vest on our birthday, despite the workout.  Sometimes it is no big deal, others make for a birthday that you will not soon forget.  Instead of putting a vest on under the ruck today, Michael decided to bump up the ruck weight from 45 to 60.  This makes a big difference on a workout like this.  Happy 37th!

This one took me 18:14 but I was only using a 45 lb ruck.  I liked it and feel like we definitely need more work on lunges and walking lunges. That is a tough movement, but one we will encounter alot in Selection.

We ended the day with 10 minutes of gratitude meditation.  This is a powerful way to start the day and remain in a state of gratitude.  Focusing on breathing while laying in the dead man pose, we think about everything we are grateful for and then end with clearing our mind of all thought...or at least attempting to.

This is an outstanding practice, highly recommended.

Have a great weekend.

Update: Several guys came over this afternoon so we hit this one again.  I was able to do it in 15:47 with 45 pounds, wet ruck, wet boots.  Good times.
