No theme. No frills. Simply grind.

WHEN: 09/21/2017
QIC: Chef Tell
PAX: Beanbag, Bright Idea, Gomer, Griswold, GTL, Harbaugh, Horny Toad, John Boy, Kosher, MARTA, Mumbles, Nanu Nanu, Pi, Podrick, Rambler, Shake It, Stick Man, Sussudio

Two PAX met for the 0445 EC ruck. Plenty of mumble chatter, after all Mumbles was one of the ruckers, and solid fellowship. Four Pax for 0500 EC Spartan training–one final training session before the SOS Spartan event this weekend.

On the ruck back to the AO, YHC observed a flurry of activity and a flood of headlights. The recruiting efforts are beginning to pay off. A number of Churham PAX joined us from outside the friendly confines of Briar Chapel. Thanks for making the trip down. An AMRAP record 19 PAX showed up this morning, and 19 PAX got stronger.

Warm-up:

  • SSH – in cadence x20
  • Merkins – in cadence x15
  • Bodyweight squats – in cadence x15
  • Bodyweight skull-crushers – single count x15

The Thang:

No theme, no frills, simply grind. Stations include: Griswold’s legendary 115# farmer carry handles x2, a slew of kettlebells ranging from 35#-50#, Skidmark tire pulls (AMRAP’s faithful mascot), Tractor Tire + Sledgehammer (some PAX opted for tire flips, ~250#), 95# Olympic bar, battling ropes, cinder blocks, rucks, and more.

Round 1: 45 seconds AMRAP, 10-count, rotate.

*In the middle of round 1, YHC and a few other PAX were attacked by fire ants somewhere near the medicine ball station. No excuses. Keep grinding.

Round 2: Crank it up. 20 seconds AMRAP, no time to rest, rotate. Grind until the final second.

No time for Mary.

Prayer requests/Announcements:

BOM:

YHC expressed gratitude for each man’s contributions to the success of AMRAP, and the site’s momentum. It’s not possible without the gear that each man brings with them. Thanks to our Churham brothers for making the trip down to BC to spend the morning with us achieving greatness together.

YHC closed in prayer. Thankful for God’s creation and providence–clearly seen on a beautiful morning like today. Praise that God created us with greatness in mind. Go out in the world and fulfill His calling to be great.

As always, it was an honor to lead you men this morning.
