17 ambitious and strong men showed up in the gloom of a cloudy Saturday morning for Gekko’s bootcamp VQ at Alcatraz. He showed us no mercy in his 30 minutes while keeping us all going through his own BRR training.
But before we began he shared some words of wisdom with the PAX. He asked the during today’s workout you remember that the fruits of F3 go far beyond the simple workouts that we enjoy. You can go to any gym and get your body in shape, but with F3 the relationships you create with each other and the group are just as important as the strengthening of your body!
The Thang Part 1

So as all 17 PAX lay on their backs gassed from that terrible hill of infamy in Tega Cay, YHC takes over on the Q for the second half of this morning of pain.
The Thang Part 2
Start at the ledge on the hill behind baseball field
20 Drips followed by 20 Durkins Rinse and Repeat
Quick 10 count and Mosey down to the Playground
Count off by 4s so we can complete these 4 stations (time for upper body work!)
#1 10 Pullups
#2 20 Dips
#3 15 CDDs
#4 20 Brick curls
Rinse and repeat all stations 3x
That was a real crowd-pleaser so after a few 10 counts we took a lap around the park to keep the heart rate up. Finished our mosey at the small baseball field for a little F3 Baseball game.
Staying in our groups of 4 (which we found out quickly that no one really recalled, including YHC) we went around the bases for 4 different exercises.
1st Base 10 Merkins
2nd Base 10 CDDs
3rd Base 10 Bombjacks
Home plate 10 Burpees
Lucky for the PAX that extra 15 minutes at Alcatraz gave us 5 minutes to hit the wall so we took a seat for 3 10 counts before flipping it to Balls to the Wall for another 3 10 counts from the PAX…many of whom fell at the end YHC included. Took on more seat on the wall for 3 10 counts and called it a day and headed to the COT.
