Raining 3s

Rain kept most away this morning, but it didn’t stop us from working out and getting better. We visited each one of the light posts at the back of the school doing a set of exercises at each one.
Next, we bearcrawled and did perfect formed merkins.
Finally, we found a basketball and took shots for burpees. As Milli Vanilli sang “Blame it on the rain”, we struggled to get a shot in the basket, but we did get our burpees in.

ALCATRAZ 10 YR ANNIVERSARY PARTY

PRE-WORKOUT: Pullups with Trucker

WARMUP: Run back and forth two times in the Runde parking lot

THE THANG:

After a brief introduction including some history of Alcatraz, Funhouse kicked off COP with 50 SSH, (although I believe 100 were planned in homage to Santini). From there it was imperial walker x 10, hillbilly walker x 10. Before we got to the meat of the workout, YHC called out a classic Alcatraz upper body workout called Green Sally (Decibel/2014). It’s a song by Moby called ‘Flower’ where you plank when he sings ‘Green Sally Up’ and drop to 6″ when he sings ‘Green Sally Down’. It’s pretty tough to complete the whole song and I don’t think anyone did today. But, you have to have monster shoulder strength. Because we had a large group today, we split them in half and started our Q’s:

Funhouse on Q:
The Wheel of Pain (Funhouse/2013)
Each PAX gets a cone with an excercise and reps.
40 yard diameter circle with a cone in the middle.
Do the excercise on the cone, run to the middle and out to the cone to the right.

Freddy Mercury – 25
Lunges – 30
Burpees – 15
Merkins – 15
Rosalita- 30
Squats – 25
LBC – 25
Burpees – 10
SSH – 30
Parker Peter – 25
Plank Punches – 30
Mountain Climbers – 30
Merkins – 15

Senator Tressel on Q
Mosey to the bottom of the hill on Tara Tea Drive for ‘Quadzilla’ (Zima/2018)
Group 1 does squats while Group 2 runs backwards up the hill and does 5 bombjacks at the hilltop. Run back down and flapjack. Rinse and repeat 2 more times.

Mosey to the playground for pullups, step ups, and ab exercises (Senator Tressel/2013) We did 2 rounds today

Mosey to the wall by the concessions stand and split into two groups.
Group 1 does Peoples chair and passes a kettle bell (White Lightning/2018), while Group 2, runs to the fence, hops over it, sprints up the hill, does 3 burpees at the top, and runs back to the wall. Flapjack. (Jekyll/2017) We did 2 rounds today.

Form a line for tunnel of love (stolen from Santini at WEP/2012)

MARY: Hello Dolly x 20, Seal walk (Cornhole/2013), Navy Seal Team Sit Ups (Santini/Trucker 2013)

COT: Today we celebrated 10 years at Runde Park by paying homage to some of the classic beatdowns led by the great Q’s of Alcatraz. Funhouse and I drew an Alcatraz record 32 Pax and that made me very proud (of course, we advertised heavily, offered free coffee, beer, cake, and closed the other two Saturday AO’s so maybe that had something to do with it – LOL). Although, attendance at bootcamps on Saturdays isn’t what is used to be, I will post whenever I am able. Runde Park has been my home on Saturday mornings, and even after all these years, I still look forward to getting up early, meeting the Pax at 6:30, and doing that tough bootcamp workout. Many thanks to all that posted with us this morning and special thanks to our current and former site Q’s: Funhouse, Smuggler, Trucker, Skipper, and Uber for their leadership and help pulling this all together. I appreciate all you guys!

Prayers: ST’S mom with cancer, DD’s friends with a new pregnancy, Long Duck recovering from burns and back injury

Cheating on Alcatraz

YHC made a temporary escape from Alcatraz to Q The Yard.

– Quick mosey to front parking lot followed by COP…windmill, produce picker, low slow squat, merkin, up dog and down dog.
THE THANG:
– Started with a series of gauntlets. PAX formed a line arms length apart and held plank. Each PAX took turns traveling the gauntlet, stopping to do a merkin at each planking PAX. Rinsed and repeated 3 times with the following variations…swapped out Al Gore for the plank and burpees for the merkins…plank / shoulder taps and Al Gore / lunge.
– Mosey thru the parking lot to the drive behind the elementary school. Completed a round of 7s using the straight section of the drive. Hand release merkins and big boy sit-ups.
– Mosey to the “track” for a DORA…300 sumo squats, 200 Superman, 100 wide arm merkin.
