Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
Five principles are open to all men, always free, always outdoors, always led by a member of the pax. Only you know your medical history so modify if needed. Ends in a circle of trust,
Credo is leave no man behind, but leave no man where you found him.
Workout name: November CSAUP
THE THANG: Started our CSAUP at 4:30 am at the Armory with our rucksacks on. Goal was to make it to Grand Rapids safely. First we stopped by Pray Park where we did a 2 minute plank. Next we walked to Parker Square for a beatdown lead by Thor. We split into 2 groups in which one had a block on one side and the other had to do an exercise without a block. When we met in the middle, the person that would advance would be the one to won paper, rock and scissors. First one to score with the block would win.
After we finished a couple rounds, we started our journey on the towpath. Learned a little about the local bridge. Throughout the ruck, we discussed leadership topics. We did a 10 minute EMOM at Turtle Park. Did an indigenous people run with 10 merkins. 10 minutes of bench work at another park. We rotated rucksacks with 2 sacks on one person.
We started to get short on time so we continued with discussions until we ended up making it to Miss Lily’s in Grand Rapids, OH. Total over 11 miles of rucking. We all had a blast and looking forward to our next one in December.
