Another year on the rock

/in /by

7 men showed up for a birthday beatdown from the one and only warden Breach

Sprinkler, POTS, Bobby Boucher, Quiver, Fanny Pack and Gilette

Warm Up:

a short mosey to the lower parking lot for 43 prisoner squats. Continued on our journey around the clubhouse and then circled up for 43 counts of SSH, Windmills, Imperial Walkers, and Hillbillies.

The Workout:

In a 3 station session of pain, all prisoners were given 4 mins 30 seconds to complete the circuit. If not they had to pay the price, which they did as no group was able to finish in the right amount of time.

The stations were:

Station 1

100 Weighted Squats
80 Up and Over jumps (Tire)
60 Rut Rohs (Pain Stick)
40 Freddie Mercury’s
20 Bicep Curls
10 Burpees

Station 2

100 Side Straddle Hops
80 Weighted Lunges
60 Close Grip Chest Press (Weight Plate)
40 Hello Dollys
20 Tricep Extensions
10 Inchworm Burpees

Station 3

100 Mountain Climbers
80 up and over the hurdle
60 Merkins
40 Toe Touch Jacks
20 Dips
10 Broad Jump Burpees

In between set I decided that we needed to get a little more mosey in so we again hit the pavement for some creative laps of fast feet, drizzled in some crap walks an Indian run, and even a jailbreak. All inmates reported back to their cells at 6:15.

Announcements: Quiver is going to be posting some challenges at the downtown train on slack in the next few days.

Prayer: Fanny Packs knew a guy named Bob who got killed by a drunk driver, prayers to his family for healing. Prayers for Quivers’s friend’s nephew who got hit by a car while riding his bike, pray for a quick recovery. Pray that we continue to find ways to make positive impacts on our environments no matter how big or small.

The Workout:

Cruise Intervals (again – repeat of a few weeks back) courtesy of coach Jack Daniels. Target was 8×1,000m intervals at ~10k pace with 200m recovery. Pax were encouraged to start with a pace that was slightly slower than 10k pace and work it down over the 8 intervals.

Always a priviledge to lead men. We’ll do this same workout one more time before Wrightsville – the hope is those training can see their improvement over time.
