Tha Thang
Started off with one round of exercise dice. (Was planning on doing two rounds, but shooters were having trouble keeping the dice in front of them.)

Then a mosey to the coupons for some Benjamins (every round equals 100).

25 Curls >>> 25 Lunge steps >>> 25 Squats >>> 25 Lunge steps back to coupons

25 Overhead Presses >>> 25 High Skips >>> 25 Mountain Climbers >>> 25 High Skips back

25 Bent Over Rows >>> 25 Bear Crawl steps >>> 25 LBC’s >>> 25 Bear Crawl steps back

25 Coupon swings >>> 25 High Knees >>> 25 American Hammers >>> 25 High Knees back

25 Bench Presses >>> 25 Side shuffles >>> 25 Cross crunches >>> 25 Side shuffles back

These hardcharging pax were so “en fuego”, we repeated rounds 1 and 2.

Mosey back to the flag. Wrapped up with 30 more Big Boys.

Little known fact… Benjamin Franklin founded the first public library and first public hospital. (Sometimes I get sick of reading so much. Get it? Hospital,? Library? Sick of reading?) I crack myself up.

Not much. We rucked up and did lunge walks, knee pulls, and open gates as we headed to the street.

Tha Thang
Mumble rucked around the far side of stadium until we got to amphitheater-type stairs near Gate 1.
Did a series of exercises w/o rucks: burpees, incline merkins up the stairs, LBC, Freddy Mercury’s, derkins down the stairs, then curls and rows with rucks.
Then mumble-rucked the other king way around and stopped to do a few high step ups near the planters and then kept going back to the parking lot.
Got back with 5 min to kill so we did modified Mary focused on upper body
Closed out with some nice crisp SSH.
