YHC pulled into the NCAM this morning with a massive crowd waiting for me. Turns out there was some secret society ruck workout that decided to launch at the exact same time, at the exact same AO, and at the exact same launch point as Whiplash. There were book-bags, dogs, headlamps, high fives, butt grabs, you name it. Anywho, Whiplash PAX were ready to get after it and we quickly separated ourselves from the ruckus to avoid contamination and confrontation.
SSH x 15, GM x 15, Merks x 15, 180 Squat Jumps x 15
Jog down to the bottom of the amphitheater
Warm Up Circuit-
Start w/ 10 irkin/boxjump burpees on the front step of the stage, run counterclockwise around amphitheater up the stairwell (1 burpee at top of stairwell when you hit the path) down greenway path, halt at the 50 yd line of amphitheater and do 10 Sumo Jump Squats, continue down path and down the steps to go back down to amphitheater(1 burpee before you go down the steps) and back to the stage step…repeato until I say halt. We did this for about roughly 15 minutes
Exit the amphitheater, run down greenway path towards lake, pass the dojo, and halt at the flag
10 burpees
Run down gravel path and hit the cut through gravel path to get to the base of 440 bridge hill.
Once all gathered, 5 burpees at bottom, run up hill to 440 bridge- 5 burpees at the top- run to opposite end of bridge and do 5 burpees- run back over the bridge 5 burpees, and back down to bottom for 5 more burpees.
30 Freddies and 25 Low Slow Flutters.
Partner up in groups of 4- Indian run from House Creek bridge all the way up the reedy creek greenway and halt at the ellipse.
30 WW2s
Mosey over to the bottom of the grassy knoll. 15 minutes left and we needed some more punishment. Esau’s Ladder on the grassy hill starting with 2 merkins at the bottom and 2 prisoner squats at the top. Most everyone made it to 16, 18, or 20 reps. Thank you Blue Crush for holding me accountable on time during this circuit.

-Beautiful morning at the NCAM. Busted it for the first 15 minutes to get us warmed up and the heart rate going. Tried to mimic the King David/Wendell Gee concept of getting roughed up the first part of the workout, so you’re in survival mode the remainder of the workout. I think the mission was accomplished. Was a fun group this AM that helped push one another. We covered some ground with the intent to hit up a lot of the not so fun tracks. Felt like the workout should have been over after the horrific climb back up to the higher ground, but still had plenty of time unfortunately. Red Card and Grease Monkey pulled away from the rest of the pax on the Esau’s ladder. Lots of mumble chatter during this part, but made it back to the parking lot right at 7:30. Was a pleasure to lead and look forward to Qing out here again sometime soon.
