GORUCK Challenge
-
Yeah, sorry for derailing.
Today is a rest day, for me, so only some light stretching with the shoulder. As I mentioned previously, I'm recovering from a recent shoulder operation. Yesterday, I did my shoulder PT pushup workout:
I lay a towel on the ground (my floors are concrete, so the towel slides, easily).
I start with a set of 10 wide pushups. (30 sec. rest).
Then a set of 10 narrow, tricep pushups (30 sec. rest).
I then do what is basically a plank, in the pushup position, but I start with my arms wide; then I bring my right hand in narrow; then bring my left hand in narrow to meet the right; right hand back wide; left hand back wide; repeat 10 times (30 sec. rest).
I then do a set where I pull the towel and my hands close together; then I slide my left hand out wide, do a pushup, and pull it back in; I then slide my right arm out wide, and do another pushup, and pull it back in; repeat for 10 reps. (30 sec. rest)
Lastly, I do the same sliding pushups, as above, except I slide one arm vertical, do an, admittedly, awkward pushup, and slide it back to center; alternate arms for a total of 10 pushups. (2 min. rest)
Repeat five exercises x4 for a total of 200 reps. For cardio I loaded a backpack full of textbooks (all I have ATM) and walked briskly for ~ 6 miles.
My goal is to finish out the rest of the month doing the exercises and resistance band work I learned in PT, and then ramp up my activity in the gym starting 4/1.

Awesome. Glad to hear you had a great experience. It never ceases to amaze me how many companies neglect the importance of customer service. Even if you never buy another product from them again, you have gone on a forum and shared your positive experience with hundreds of other members.
Now comes the hard part… The training.

Hey guys,
I'm personally loving this discussion. Can we move the workout related conversation to the "In Fitness and Health" thread and keep this one related directly the IronHeart Goruck Challenge?
The two threads will obviously be related in spirit, it's just that there is a lot of good info in this thread and it really belongs over there. Please feel free to cross post with your journey to this event

Doug any update from Chris or Seawolf if they are joining us?
-
I'll drop Seawolf a line
Chris knows what's going on. Hopefully he will join us. I know he mentioned on the fitness thread he was looking to getting into shape (though he didn't appear to be out of shape to me)
I just went through this thread, and the fitness info and the Goruck info is so tightly weaved in with each other that I can't split the thread. Argh, you make a mods job hard
Btw, if you sign up for a Goruck event, you get a discount on purchases. You might want to take that into consideration if you're looking to buy a pack
There's a Goruck Challenge in a couple weekends not far from me. Tempted to sign up for it but there's so much going on at home with the new dog
