The Academy – April Edition
All All MECA BackblastsApril 18th, 2017
A convergence of 12 challengers from Tradition and The Precinct took on The Academy monthly AMRAP on a perfect spring morning! This WIB (Workout In a Bag) is a FULL body, you-vs-you, strength and cardio endeavor which gives Pax a tour of our AO while working close with their brothers. Recovering from a Spartan-induced shoulder injury our 13th Pax member, Brutus, bypassed the course and ran 4 miles instead (thanks for the help with setup!).
0530 – We launched from Intake for The Farmlands run, then back up again and to enter The Cell Block for The AMRAP Gauntlet (signs posted at each station)…
- 10 Burpees at the Gate, run forward…
- 20 Cinder Block Curls, run diagonal…
- 10 Tire Flips, run forward…
- 20 Cinder Block Triceps Extensions, run to the Gun Range…
- 10 Pull-ups, run to the Great Wall…
- 10 Muscle-ups, over the wall on last rep and down to sidewalk…
- Bear Crawls from pole-to-pole, back around outside of fence to the Cell Block Gate.
Once you make it back to the Gate, that’s ONE round. Rinse and Repeat #1-7 AMRAP until time called at 0605.
Blocks and tires back, then log your laps – x.1, x.2, x.3, x.4, x.5, x.6, x.7 – where “x” denotes the number of full rounds and then you add the last station completed (#1-7). Monthly totals are kept below as a benchmark. Set a goal to beat your record next month!
- Strong work by everyone this morning! A special shout-out to Royal, No H, Bundy, and Urlacher who took on The Academy for the first time this morning.
- Next running of The Academy will be Thursday, May 18th. Mark your calendars and be here!

Look at @Mandown jumping up through the numbers.
I appreciate in the last 5 minutes as I felt ready to die, that Drowning Pool song came on with the lyrics that start saying: something’s got to give, something’s got to give……. Very appropriate lyrics at the time!
Getting there. One day soon I hope to make it to King Louie and Brutus status.
