Introduction
Pre Blast: The Complex 4/1/23 6:30AM
It’s April Fool’s Day! The only fool is YHC for signing up for two Q’s today. Join me as I finish a 9 pack for this week. Bring your coupons and sandbags, if you have them. We’ll do something. Not sure what yet (maybe an hour of stargazers?). HC in the thread!
The Scene: Light on the HCs here as well. Dumpster Fire picked up the six. Still not feeling the best as I pulled into the lot so YHC decided a ruck was in order.

I am not a professional. You are here of your own free will. I have no knowledge of any injuries or fitness considerations. It is your responsibility to be safe and modify exercises as needed.
In cadence (IC) is the rhythm in between each rep or the body movement between each rep.
Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership. Our credo is to leave no man behind and leave no man where you found him.

RUCK
We rucked from the parking lot to Knock Knolls. I wanted to check out the river trail so we went down by the river, back up to the nature building and then back to the parking lot. Along the way we came across several groups of deer, some of which were really close to the path.

I quoted Wil Wheaton again, “Don’t be a dick.” Don’t let the politicization of everything under the sun blind you to the rule of common sense.
Another thing I shared was something I discovered a couple years ago.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To get to the other side. But that “other side” is death.
Peace,
Cousin Eddie
