PAX (3): Shazam, Stroller, Zohan

Preamble:

GoRuck shared its February WOD over the weekend and it looked terrible. So YHC went looking for people to do it with, then Dipstick needed a Q at School of Rock and it was the perfect chance to force myself to do it and hopefully some others would join. Even with the entire awful WOD pre-blasted on the channel, Zohan and Shazam still showed up ready to work.

Warm-O-Rama:

It's cold. 15 SSH, 12 Imperial Walker. Then something I picked up from Raghunath, which is apparently called a standing forward bend with shoulder opener (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKhSglU4YVw). We're still not warm, let's kick it off and we'll warm up quick.

The Thang:

Carry sandbags over to the field 100 back squat buy-in 4 rounds:
  • 200m sandbag shuffle
  • 20 clean and front toss
  • 20 bear crawl sandbag drags (each drag is 1 rep)
  • 20 shoulder to shoulder (single)
100 front squat cash out We got back to the flag with just enough time to do 3 burpees...which felt easy after being loaded down the whole BD.

COT:

  • Spider's meal train and healing. He would really appreciate smoked ribs
  • Zohan's son traveling
  • Informative discussion about debate

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Parting thoughts:
  • 200 weighted squats is a bear
  • For an extra challenge, change your carry type on each shuffle
  • Shoulder to shoulder is way harder than it should be...this was the only part I had to use the 40# bag for
  • Sandbags are the way to go! Check out Rep Fitness for reasonably priced sandbags. If my bag is still intact after 80 tosses this morning, I can affirm it is damn hard to break
  • 192 men on the AlphaRuck channel, will only 3 complete this WOD?
