With GTE#47 close to 3 weeks away 9 HIM’s beat the fartsack to wrap their arms around a shaved log and get a little better prepared for the unexpected. Here’s what we did: 0530 Kickoff from The Forge location Down Love Hill, Lunge a Bit, Bear Crawl one of Mt Chaplain’s hills, Ruck back up Embark into the Hood to DTH’s house we go Discover large shaved log and shoulder it out to the back yard Brief review of log carry methodology and safety Shoulder log for an uncomfortable loop around the property, trading places as needed Leave the log…

Get ready for the River, Richmond’s rich history and diverse terrain provides the perfect backdrop for this GTE #47 leadership adventure.

The Growruck gang converged for another Rock&Ruck CSAUP with Sandy making an even 10 heavy weights for gloom glory. The PAX started with a wide loop detour around the AO to observe the Latina Market getting set up (oh goody, they’ve got a coffee truck!). Sandy was passed around the PAX like the good little hoebag she is, and there were a couple stops to stretch. Halfway through our time, the PAX were directed to remove their rucks and carry them in some other manner – baby cradle, over head, single shoulder, etc. Carrying both Sandy and an untethered ruck…

Nine GTE brothers converged for a short OTB ruck and to do some experimental hefting of new logs. We brought Sandy and passed her solid 60 pounds around the PAX while rucking a big neighborhood loop. The PAX ended up in the woods behind Casa de DTH to discover a freshly felled dead pine tree with 16’ and 19’ trunk segments waiting for a ride. The PAX shouldered the 16’ segment and carefully maneuvered her out of the woods into the back yard. The PAX were ordered tallest to shortest and each PAX had 1-2 guys to rotate with, leaving…

The night watch nine assembled at the Bell Isle parking lot just as the last light of day descended to the West and the skyline of City lights welcomed the night. With a refreshing Spring breeze stirring our spirits these GTE HIM’s conquered the following terrain: The THANG:  RUCK-FREE WARMERAMA: Form up at the base of the Grass Hill Variable movement up and down the hill a few times – run, burpees, run, bear crawls, lunges, run, bernie, etc Rucks ON Welcome & Disclaimer Let’s GO! THE INITIAL RUCK: Quick march across the swinging bridge to Bell Isle and proceed…

Sandy pushin us over 100

  • The PAX: Mudslide, Posh, Purple Rain, Swoop, Big Rig, Broadway, McRib, DTH

8 gloom warriors took to the Rockwood trails for a 1 hour ruck training opportunity – today’s challenge were two sandbags, one 50 pounds, the other 60 pounds, which were passed between the PAX every 100-200 yards. For those of us already carrying 50+ pound rucks, we definitely went slower than usual also hefting the Sandies. McRib found us toward the end having enjoyed the surprise blessing of prayerful solitude. I appreciate this perspective – while he could have been disappointed to be unable to find the PAX for most of the hour, he instead embraced the opportunity as a…

  • The PAX: machismo, DTH, DD, Sable, NTB, Meatball, Broadway, DoubleMint

8 macho men took the trails of Machismo’s backyard for a multi-wooded ruck. We started heading through waterlogged fields, crossed a damn, over the hill, through the woods, but to Grandma’s we dare not go. No, there on the return, there was yet another log. This one weighing in at a speculative 800#s together we hoisted said burden to varied shoulders and marched near 300 yards. Maybe this log is better left in the woods. Prayer requests for DTHs acquaintance going through detox from Alchoholism. Dad’s family bearing the burden of his father’s death. Also add Machismos neighbor Kerri at…

9 Prodigal sons including 7 FNGs spent 2 mornings (8 Saturday, 4 Sunday) of their Men’s retreat prostrate and visiting darkened corners multiple times. The statement was made “To plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.” Our core values were shared: Free of Charge, Open to All Men, Outdoors (rain or shine), Guys lead in a rotating fashion, and ends in the circle of trust. A disclaimer was given if not believed. Warmerama: YHC led the pax through various renamed and demonstrated exercises including SSH, UKS, Copperhead Squats, Lunges (why doesn’t…

Monsoon Ruck

  • The PAX: Broadway, Mudslide, Sable, Chaplain, Melville, DTH

Six SOJ studmuffins donned their rucks and embraced the soaking suck as they put in a full hour of Rockwood speed-rucking. Two stops were made to first exhaust the quads with ruck squats, then later Mudslide led the PAX working the upper body through a variety of ruck-holding reps. TClaps to these HIM’s not only embracing the monsoon ruck but then going on to conquer the flesh with a truly challenging Florence beatdown. Getting stronger TOGETHER! ~DTH

  • The PAX: Honeymoon, Orange Crush, Last Call, Boberry, House Party, Chaplain, Rosie

The Friday morning gab session at Bettie Weaver had 7 members today started with rounded iron that was sharpened throughout the morning. YHC put out the call to the GTE crew to hit the KB bootcamp with some extra ruck weight on their backs and 4 of them, Chaplain, Boberry, House Party and OC, answered the bell. Last Call didn’t have a ruck but had a sufficient bell while Honeymoon picked up what must be one of his kids toys disguised as a kettlebell. After a sufficient non-weighted warm-up behind the school and a prime number of PAX we opted…
