Intro
5 principles

A beautiful morning, temps in the 30s. We rucked to the observation deck for some light work with a great view of the park. Squats, monkey humpers, and potato pickers.

This was my first time at the ruck and the regular PAX helped me navigate the trail and got back right on time. Great conversations and got to know the Oregon folks a bit more.

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. End in a circle of trust,

Credo is leave no man behind, but leave no man where you found him.

Workout name: Hill Bound

Warmup: Slow jog up the hill. We added butt kickers, high knees and karaoke.

THE THANG:

We started with 5 toys: 2 bricks, rucksack, vest, block and jump rope. Each person had to use one of each while we ran up the hill. Rotated each time.

Next, we wanted to move some golf balls up the hill. We had a bucket of golf balls at the bottom, one empty bucket halfway and one empty bucket at the top. 1st round, we grabbed one golf ball each and ran it to the first bucket, dropped it in there and ran back to get more. Once the middle bucket was full, we started the 2nd round.

From the halfway bucket, we had to back pedal to the top of the hill to drop 2 golf balls in the bucket and run back. We did this until the middle bucket was empty.

Last event was the sprint, bear crawl, sprint, bear crawl, sprint, bear crawl, sprint and bear crawl up the hill. The cones were lined up on the hill so we knew when to switch exercises.
