Hold plank until time

Here’s a list of what everyone did:

Class Act went on a couple rucks for 6.7 miles and completed a custom WOD. He’s an animal!

Oilermaker is a true family man. He threw on a ruck and added a 30# 2.0 for 1.14 miles.

Spur continued his running routine with 2 more easy miles. I can’t wait to see the dividends of your hard work!

Scarecrow rode his bike for 15 miles. Maybe he’ll join Peyton for a triathlon some day!

Antman pre-ran for 3 miles and completed a modified pyramid WOD. Great work, brother!

The Mick weightlifted and went on a 2-mile ruck with 65#. He’s a stud!

Al Gore ran for 4 miles and completed a 10×10 Mike Tyson’s and horizontal body pull-ups. He’s going to need to get a license to conceal and carry those guns!

Editor ended his 39th year of life with what looked like a tough WOD and several rucks throughout the day. Way to end your year in style!

HHH ran 5 miles. Next up, a 5k race against Spur for bragging rights!

Fonzie some more ab work and leg exercises. He’s keeping his core and foundation strong!

Lights Out did a Cul-de-sac Sharknado and I’m sure he got a lot of weird looks from his neighbors. Also, post that video, dude! I’m sure PacRat could give you pointers on form!

Tank went on a 4-mile morning ruck. Well done, sir!

Mufasa did the pyramid WOD and joined Editor for some ruck miles in the evening. He made the most of the beautiful day!

Atticus and Thunder rucked 3 miles and then modified Barricade’s WOD from yesterday. Atticus followed that up with another ruck later on. Good work!

Coors rucked a couple times for 5.7 miles and completed the pyramid WOD.

Way to go, guys! Let’s keep up this momentum!

(Repeato)
Wanted to get some good arm work in, and was also looking forward to doing step-ups at the Amp,
so I wanted to include those as well. Thanks for all the kind words about the workout, men, I
appreciate each one of them very much. These solo workouts are ok, but for me, they’re harder to
get motivated to do without you guys there. But, I guess we all have to modify our lives these days,
it’s only temporary I keep telling myself.
Anyway, I look forward to seeing you guys soon, and maybe I’ll see you out on a ruck that doesn’t
touch any part of Merrillville’s town limits, lol. Plans are to continue rucks on Sundays, and for April to do one Murph a week. Keep up the good work, guys, I enjoy all the posts with your progress a lot.

God bless!

Mufasa Rucked & HHH ran

BACKBLAST 4/1/20 – It’s No Joke

12 PAX posted about their NO JOKE workouts yesterday.

Dr. Freud completed 50 minutes of flow flow online, which was “way harder than it should have been.” (insert joke here).

Editor killed a 5K time hack ruck in the cool evening air.

Scarecrow completed a 3.2 mile afternoon ruck.

Optimus rucked with his best fury friend (his dog) 1.5 miles, with burpees and step-ups at Patmos.

Spur crushed 2 miles of speed work.

Mr. Incredible covered 5.5 miles of super easy running (which would be sprinting to me).

Mufasa rucked around the lake for 3.6 miles.

Oilermaker ran 6.54 miles – hitting a PR! His first 10k / longest run in over 10 years. Way to go!

Tank pushed things with his arms / chest for 40 minutes using dumbbells. (well, I hope he was using dumbbells and not pushing things with his chin). He pondered push-ups, but realized he would Murph on Thursday.

Atticus and Thunder rucked a 5K in the neighborhood.

Class Act did stuff too (he is a late addition to the line up). He did an assault bike warm-up (sounds like it sucked), then 7 (yes 7, I’m exhausted thinking of doing something 7 times) sets of bench and merkin ladder, chin-ups and more biking. (so – it was a light day).

Lights Out too – oh man, I suck. I forgot him too. He did stuff too. For example 100’s after band work and rebounder (I guess he plays basketball as well). He did dips, flys (15 pound dumbbells), LBCs, and Mary. Way to go.

We also learned Bert is still working out – but is keeping a low profile (not posting or bragging about himself). This means, when we return to working out together again, he will be super BUFF!

Well done going out in getting in some exercise brother’s. I know really challenging these days getting out on your own for some exercise, but try to keep pushing yourself. Miss you all, and praying for better days a head. Stay strong, Mufasa.
