Just curious, but this looks and sounds like something from Corps Strength. Maybe I'm wrong. I read it years ago and enjoyed it. I've never committed to doing the Corps Strength programs as outlined, but it was informative and gave me some new things to think on.

Indeed it is. Over eight weeks I'm going to progress from 15 minutes of pre fatigue to 30 minutes. I also structured the workouts a bit differently - Mondays are a heavy push/pull emphasis, Wednesdays a heavy leg emphasis, and Fridays are a heavy burpee emphasis. Otherwise pretty much the same structure.

Today - 6 mile ruck, 30# plate, 1100 feet of elevation. Total time 1 hour 47 minutes.

Monday - 15 minutes pre fatigue, 30 minutes mission. Pull Ups 26, Eight Count Bodybuilders 65, Forward Lunges 60, Leg Raises 60, Butterfly Sit Ups 42, Gracie Neck Nods 90 (these were the worst aside from the eight counts). Finished with 100 band pull aparts and 4 block weight holds per hand for time.

Tuesday was supposed to be a ruck + sandbag movement but due to some back issues I took the day off. It was the right call, felt a lot better later on.
