Well. I got a no rep on my burpee over the bar this morning. She said I didn’t jump off 2 feet. After I told her I was jumping off 2 feet I didn’t get another no rep. I’ll be honest. We have been doing burpees over the bar twice a week for 2 months. I was thinking I could win that workout. And a no rep on a 3 minute workout is big deal . Head coach said put it behind you. Finished 8th on that workout.

Got 2nd place on the 2nd workout. I needed to good on this one because it had movements that I’m pretty good at.

The third workout was announced today and it was called the RUCK. It was 4 laps and each lap was a mile. Total of 4 miles. Start of with 20 pounds in your back pack. After each mile you add a 10 pound sand bag. So the last lap would have 50 pounds in it. I have to give Head Coach credit. He told me to not check the box. He said to go out fast for the 1st two laps. Then hang on for the last two laps. Head coach reminded me that I had been running twice a week for this. So he really got my mind right and I was able to finish 4th. I’m gonna leave my ruck bag in Wisconsin cause I ain’t never gonna do that again. I literally thought people were gonna die when they came across the finish line.

Tomorrow is gonna be rough. 2 hard workouts.

Sandbag triplet
Process is simple. Pray I can pick the 200 pound sand bag up

Head coach update:
He earned his money today. I wouldn’t have done as well on the last workout without him. He got me going. And it was sincere. Thank you N8. Let’s see what u can do tomorrow.

Paul, I've watched how STRONG you are, and dude, you're strong. That 200 is body weight for you. How much body weight training in our box? A lot? Yeah!!

Blair striding it out and keeping everyone in check.

I’m so impressed with your effort and grit today, Paul. Go ahead a slide over a lane inside tomorrow. You earned it.

Blair is on the hunt

PMac, you did your thing today. Put yourself in great position for tomorrow. You ready.

Paul, you had a great pace on that run today! You've got a great support group there representing an even bigger team routing for you from Alabama. Thanks for filming, BP!

So motivating watching you today Paul!! You did amazing work & you’re coaches are the best! Thank you guys for filming it on FB-I was so mad they weren’t also filming the masters live!

Great job today Paul. You got it lined up for tomorrow! Take that sandbag almost one length of the b-ball court and break down that all familiar chipper! You got this!

Head Coach needs to get BP a media pass credential!
