Week 3 Day 6, Saturday April 10th, 2010

OPERATION: ROCK OR ROLL

Full Mission Profile


Situation:

Moments ago a distress radio call came into the Search and Rescue station about a severely injured pair of hunters on King Mountain, north of Palmer, Alaska.

Both are injured, but one has a severe compound femur fracture and has lost a lot of blood. The other hunter sustained minor injuries, but is unable to move his partner.

The incident that caused the injuries was a large rock slide, which also completely obstructed the narrow trail on the steep cliff that offers the quickest access to the injured victims.

A rescue helicopter has been called, but due to a previous call will not be able to be on station for 4 hours. The victim with the compound fracture will not last that long. The rescue team must choose either to move clear a path through the rocks or take a narrow trail around the back of the mountain to get to the victims.

FMP WORKOUT

Option A: Run 1 mile before not timed

If you choose to clear a path through the fallen rocks (shorter distance – but heavier):

Deadlift – 10,000lbs

Clean – 7,500lbs

Press, Push Press, or Jerk – 5,000lbs

*Scale your weight to your ability and keep track of lifts (i.e. 10 cleans at 95lbs = 950lbs). Mix up lifts as needed. Feel free to change weight as needed.

Note your time from beginning to end of all lifts

Option B:

If you choose to take the trail around to the other side (longer – but no heavy lifting):

Run 15K (9.6 miles)

Note the time of the run from beginning to end.

The 7 Samurai Virtues


Gi-Morality & Integrity

Yu-Bravery & Valor

Jin-Kindness & Compassion

Rei-Reverence

Makoto-Sincerity

Meiyo-Nobility

Chugi-Faithfulness, Devotion & Trustworthiness

BBCF represents all of these virtues in the training we endure everyday.
  • Always doing the workout without cheating reps
  • Having the tenacity to push on when we feel like we have been hit by a truck
  • Truly caring about our fellow warrior athletes both in the gym and outside of it.
  • Working together as a team to push ourselves well beyond what we think we are capable of
  • Being smart about our training and using weights that are on par with our abilities
Thoughts? Any other ways we represent these virtues? Anything to add?

“Courage, above all things, is the first quality of a warrior.”

Karl Von Clausewitz

"The more you sweat in training, the less you will bleed in battle." - Motto of Navy Seals

"Civilize the mind but make savage the body." - Chairman Mao

"We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level
of our training"

"Victory is reserved for those who are willing to pay it's price." - Sun Tzu

"The Ultimate Warrior leaves no openings - Except in his mind." - Seishinkan ITP

"My life is simple, my food is plain, and my quarters are uncluttered. In all things, I have sought clarity. I face the troubles and problems of life and death willingly. Virtue, integrity and courage are my priorities. I can be approached, but never pushed; befriended but never coerced; killed but never shamed."
- Yi Sunshin, Last letter to an old friend.

"Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice." - Samurai maxim

“To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other.” - Carlos Castaneda
