          Notice you scaled down on the flutter kicks 😉

          I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

              Haha. Busted. Yeah, they were killing me right after the 2 min. of planks.

                Snatch -- 1 minute each arm
                Upright Row -- 1 minute
                Squats -- 1 minute
                Reverse Curl w/ Resistance Bands -- 1 minute
                Kettlebell Ledge Calf Raises -- 1 minute (considering dropping; felt like a rest station)
                Crunches (Limited motion; don't touch back to ground; don't fully sit up) -- 1 minute
                Oblique Crunch/Leg Lift -- 1 minute each side

                Repeat x4

                Very rudimentary, I know.  I need to watch some more videos...

                Snatches felt good, though.

                      It's gonna kick my ass! I was sweating, my heart was beating and by the time I got to cool down I was pretty tired. The workout was less than 10 min. It was my 1st time using a kettle bell and the 1st time I had done any weight training since I played college basketball. I love it!!!!!!

                          That's a hell of an endorsement.  I need these videos.

                            They are great. Granted I am just getting into shape now. Look at Doug he is a big Skogg supporter and definitely a impressive physical specimen.

                              Yeah, Doug has turned me on to some good stuff and is a huge asset to this forum.  Z has also been helpful; he recommended finding an RKC trainer through Dragon Door, and I found a good one in my area.  Ideally, I'd like to see the trainer a few times to lock in my form, and then use the Skogg system to follow a disciplined regimen, on my own.  I will probably check back in with the trainer, every couple months, just to make sure my form stays tight.

                                      Just spoke to Julie at GORUCK. Z has been speaking with her on and off the last few weeks. I will be having a conference call with Julie and Blair VP of Ops within the next 2 weeks regarding our challenge, custom patches, discount rucks and gear etc…  I will need to know who is interested in purchasing what? The discount will be 20% off. They are really looking forward to hearing more about us. So Giles if you read this I will probably have you on the conference call. I know a lot of you are interested but I really need to firm up the body count. I'm sure they will be looking for some sort of deposit from us. Doing a custom challenge is the goal but I'm not sure if we will have enough team members. I am dedicated to this challenge and I can speak for Z as well. We will be doing no matter what. Please let me know where you stand. I know this is far off but, we are about to get serious!!!
