The Dragon is meant as a finishing round after all your hard work. You're strong. You're wise. And this workout is your good luck.
It's also a neurological sealant as we wind down, working on the things that should now feel like second-nature. Your ruck weight should feel dialed in, and this workout might feel "easy" -- this is what we want during our first week in the deloading taper period.
What gear do I need?
- Ruck
- Sandbag
- Gliding discs
What exercises do I need to know?
Turkish Get Ups Use your ruck for weight
Sandbag Floor Press This is a sandbag bench press, from the floor. If you have a bench, use it for more range of motion.
Sandbag Decline Hand Release Push Ups Rest your feet on the sandbag as you push-up.
Reverse Lunges Step into a backwards, stationary lunge with your sandbag in cradle carry. Hips over knees.
Plank Drags We've done these once before in our workouts, and they deserve a second visit as we finish things out. Feet on gliding discs or plastic lids/frisbees, walk your plank around the room, using your arms to power the walk.
