I decided to go old school and do a ruck march. I loaded up my pack with 35# and used a 9# weight bar to replicate a rifle.
I wanted to adhere to EIB standards and hold a 15 minute mile pace.
Finished 4 miles in 57:11. :highfive:

I used the wave loading method for today's pulls.
Deadlifts
2 sets 3-2-1
241-279-316#(65-75-85% 1RM)

I really liked this method but don't want to become complacent....Besides, I wouldn't be able to handle the increased weight following the same scheme. but, I will use it in the future.

Squats
3x10
304-285-247#(85-75-65% 1RM)

[B]Endurance[/B]:run:

I went for a long run this morning. Six miles was my goal and to try to slow my pace in order to maintain a 9-10 minute mile....

I find these runs to be harder. More focus is required to keep from speeding up, and was more mental.

I finished in 55:57.

Van Aalten
AMRAP (with a Partner) in 20 minutes
2000 meter Row / partner Handstand
150 Wall Ball Shots / partner Handstand
Max Toes-to-Bars (alternate sets)
One partner works on the row and wall ball shots while the other partner holds in handstand. Once the wall balls are complete both partners move to the toes-to-bar, with one partner working while the other rests, alternating and performing as many toes-to-bar as possible in the remaining time.

[I]Sergeant (SGT) Alexander Van Aalten, 21, of the Cumberland Cove community near Monterey, Tennessee, died during combat operations in Afghanistan on Friday, April 20, 2007. SGT Alex Van Aalten volunteered for a mission to rescue a Dutch Soldier stuck in a minefield. That morning as he attempted to rescue a Dutch Corporal, Cor Strik, a land mine required his last full measure.

SGT Alex Van Aalten was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and the Netherlands Decoration of Merit of the Minister of Defense in Gold. He is buried in Section 60 of the Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, VA, next to the Pentagon.[/I]

We subbed the row with 600 Jumping Jacks, and T2B with Medball Sit Ups.

My daughter and I scored 142.:kicking0:

For Time
22 second Silence
94 Goblet Squats,1.5 pood
94 Push Ups
94 Sit Ups
94 Russian KBS
22 Burpees

[I]Created to honor Army Ranger SGT. Joshua Rodgers, when he was laid to rest. Born August 22, 1994, he was killed in action April 27, 2017 in Nangarhar Province during a joint operation with Afghan forces.

The name "Iron Ranger" is from Josh's high school football mascot, the Ironmen and his position as a Ranger in the US Army. The 94 reps represent his year of birth (1994). The 22 represent his high school football jersey number, his date of birth, and how old he was when he died.

Surviving are his parents, Kevin and Vonda Rodgers, Bloomington; two sisters, Emily Rodgers and Hannah (Nathan Iloilo) Rodgers, Bloomington; a brother, Ashton Rodgers, Bloomington; a niece, Victoria Rodgers, Bloomington; grandparents, Russ and Diana Coulter, Gibson City, and Christine Rodgers, Bloomington; aunts, uncles and cousins, Duane, Trish, Makayla and Delanie Fisher, Aurora, Colo.; Joe and Carrie, Tyler, Cecil and Charlie Rodgers, Bloomington; and Dan, Marcie and Charlotte Rodgers, Janesville, N.Y.[/I]

I decided to partition rather than try pushing through this workout since I was a bit beat down from the week's workouts.

I did 8 rounds of 11 besides the Burpees (2 rounds), and did the last round of 6. Finished in 15:50. RLTW and rest easy, Sergeant!!

[I]In honor of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Officers Alyn Beck and Igor Soldo who lost their lives on June 8, 2014. The 2 rounds represents the 2 officers and the rep scheme of 6/8/14 is the day they lost their lives.

Police Officers Alyn Beck and Igor Soldo were shot and killed from ambush while eating lunch at a pizza restaurant in the 300 block of North Nellis Boulevard. Two subjects, a male and a female, approached them at their table and shot them execution style without warning. The subjects then stole both officers' weapons and ammunition and ran to a nearby Walmart, where they shot and killed a civilian. Responding officers followed the two into the Walmart and exchanged gunfire with them. The male subject was killed by gunfire and the female then committed suicide.

Officer Soldo had served with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department for eight years. Officer Beck had served with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department for 14 years and is survived by his wife and three children.[/I]

Completed in 11:10. A very humbling workout. It's extremely short but very intense. The man-makers were an arse kicker!!!!
