Ran to Blackwell’s Tax service parking lot, which became our starting point for each accumulator round.
For each round, an exercise was called and pax ran to first telephone pole to do one rep (4 count), then ran to second pole for 2, 3rd pole for 3, and so on, until the 9th pole was reached and 9 reps were done. Once leading pax completed, he ran back and “swept” everyone else, wherever they were, such that we all ran back together.

1. Mountain Climbers

THE THANG: Carry our big bells to the far side of the parking lot, found a box full of terrible exercises and carries such as snatches, curls, man makers and lots more.

Lots of people showed up, unfortunately they got me on Q. Original plan was to run with merkins to Riverview elementary school, but with so many pax I decided to stay local. Plan was to run around town with Jack Webb. We began with five merkins and twenty overhead claps. Twelve stops around town increasing the rep counts by one and four respectively. Added some additional exercises (Squats, lunges, calf raises) while we waited for the six to arrive.
Total count: 126 merkins, 504 overhead claps.
we had time for a pairing sprint up the Massey hill.
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.
