WARMUP: Slow mosey around the Harris Teeter parking lot, circle up where Golden Corral flag used to be planted for the following (SWIMS):
– 25 SSH
– 10 winmills
– 15 imperial walkwers
– 15 MNC
– 10 strawberry pickers

Then mosey to the parking spots in front of Cholandu Indian restaurant….
THE THANG:
Part 1: 11s
Using the driveway between Cholandu and Dollar General as each end, do 11s with the following exercises
– Squats
– Lunges (2 ct, every other leg)
That got a mile or so in and worked the legs.
Original intent was to use the gravel hill off of Stockbridge drive that leads up to the large cell tower, but the pole light there was out. Next time…..

Part 2: 11 of 11
Mosey around back behind Red Bowl to the infamous dumpster.
11 exercise stations set up, each were 5 parking spaces apart. Do the exercise, bear crawl to the next station. Repeat until done. 11 reps of each exercise. Exercises were:
1. Merkins
2. LBC
3. SSH 4ct as usual
4. LSS
5. CDD
6. Flutter 2ct / every other leg
7. IW 4 ct as usual
8. LSS
9. Mtn Climbers 2 ct / every other leg
10. LBC
11. Lunges 2ct / every other leg
A LOT of bear crawling. Shoulders were smoked.
Gave us about 5 minutes left. We went to the Harris Teeter wall on the side of the building. Everyone in people’s chair. Hold it while first person runs across the parking area, does 2 burpees, then runs back. Next person in line follows until everyone is done. That gave us 1 minute to mosey back to arrive at COT right at 6. BOOM!!
MARY: None
ANNOUNCEMENTS: A LOT going on! Read the newsletter, get involved, and also be informed about what has been going on around The Fort.
COT: Alot lifted up. There are alot of injured PAX, and others not posting because they have burdens. Reach out to those guys. If they cannot work out, at least they can walk and enjoy the 2nd F to help with their 3rd F.

Thank you for the opportunity to lead.

Locked gates brings pole work

Leave a comment

We found the football field/track LOCKED for the first time in years, so the weinke was modified. We made it work at this “moderate” AO with getting in around two miles of running, sprints and a little mall walking using the light poles.

All enjoyed dishing out advice to one of our newest pax and today’s war baby Cliffhanger, whose wife is expecting.

For those of us with older kids in various stages, we have many things to ponder as they grow older and wisdom to pour out (when asked for.)

Prayers up today for our kids, aging parents and a few pax going thru some struggles and challenges.

Closing out 2025

Leave a comment

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.
