Battlefield – 2/1/2025

18 Men woke up to just keep moving this morning. The group rucked about 2 miles, although the ice was hard to avoid, the group slowed down and altered the route to avoid slippery spots. During the ruck, every 5 minutes, with weight on, the PAX did the following exercises:
Squats 20
Imperial Walkers 20
Merkins     10
Sumo Squats 30
Lunge Walk  20
Step-ups    20

The numbers above reflect the count, and since they were done in a 4 count cadence the actual reps are more.

I just learned that you should post Back blast for black ops events and pre-rucks. My bad, sorry to the HIMs who walked with me during the wee hrs of the morning in the past. I will get better but only by 1%
