The cold and dark mornings may stop the average Joe, but not the 5 HIMs ready to work heavy! YHC preempted everyone to bring rucks and sandbags…so they knew. They knew.

WARMUP:
Bringing back a classic: the Googan Lap (we miss you, Googan!!) to warm up the bodies coupled with:
SSH x 10IC
String Rippers x 10 IC

THE THANG:
PAX grabbed the gear and headed to the grassy knoll. YHC only had 4 exercises…just four. Fives rounds though. The reps evolved in staircase fashion: 30, 20, 10, 20, and 30. Within the round, PAX were to complete:

– Reverse Bear Crawl sandbag pulls (each pull is a rep)
– Ruck Goblet Squats
– Single Arm Ruck Bent Over Row (full reps for each arm)
– Sandbag Over the Shoulder Toss

MARY:
Almost neglected due to time…but we did it!
American Hammers x 10 IC
