10×10 and Hard Part of Massey

WARMUP:
Quick run up to Hobo’s for some warm-up of a few SSH, IWs, and Mountain Climbers. Most down to the mill stone at the bottom of Main to find the 10×10 board waiting.

THE THANG:
The 10×10 board.
1. Shoulder Taps
2. Squats
3. Mountain Climbers
4. Seal Jacks
5. Hello Dollys
6. Plank Jacks
7. Bomb Jacks
8. Merkins
9. LBCs
10. Burpees

We started with 10 of #1, then ran to the top of Massey, did 1 burpee, then returned to the board. Next round 10 of #1, and 10 of #2, then ran to the top of Massey for 1 burpee (not 2). Continued accumulation until we got through the last item on the board.

That’s all we had time for. Excellent work by all men. Thanks for the opportunity to lead, Cubbie!

Barry Manilow is not just a F3 name

WARMUP: mosey around park while doing SSH, windmill, cherry pickers, imperial walkers, hillbilly walkers, low slow squat, merkins
THE THANG: start off in the parking lot by the fields – from one end to the other, bear crawl, and stop at every 3rd line to do 5 merkins. Once we got to the other side, lunge walk back, and stop at every 3rd line to do 5 squats. Using the parking lot running back and forth we did karaoke, run, nur, toy soilders, butt kicks, and high knees. Mosey to parking lot (stopping along the way for plank to keep pax together) by dog kennel for a Dora – 100 imperial walkers, 150 LBCs, and 200 flutters. Mosey back to flag.

Closing out 2025

Eight men showed up for the final workout at Alcatraz this year. We began with some stretching and a slow jog to the fire station. We traveled up and down the three streets across from the park, at the bottom and top of the streets, 10 merkins and 10 squats. After we took a moment to catch our breath, we made our way back to the parking lot and on to the field.
For the remaining time, we performed the Accumulator. List of exercises, sprint across the field and back, add an exercise.

Exercises:
– CCDs
– Jump Squats
– Flutters
– Shoulder Taps
– Side Lunges
– Box Cutters
– Hand Release Merkins
– SSHs
– Burpees

I ended with an analogy. I asked if anyone heard of Stanley Drukenmiller (nope) , or David Tepper (yes). Both of these men have consistently outperformed the stock market over the past 30 years. Doubling their money in less than 3 year compared to 7.2 if invested in an index fund. Relating it back to fitness, you can continue to be average or you can seek out those men who excel and find out what they do differently.
Start now…It doesn’t get any easier when you get older.
