The Academy – June Edition
All All MECA BackblastsJune 15th, 2017
A convergence of 18 challengers from Tradition and The Precinct took on The Academy monthly AMRAP on a this 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. Here’s what we did…
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!

Next running of The Academy will be Thursday, July 20th (which happens to be YHC’s 44th birthday). Mark your calendars and be here! The workout sucks, but it’s a great way to test your progress in both strength and endurance throughout the year.

When is Juljy 20th?
I have no idea what you’re talking about King Louie. You must be seeing things. 😉
To be fair, we all should have to run home and poop to keep the numbers relevant.
Nice job @mandown! First (but not last) time for me at the Academy. Well laid out, you against you, and quite a workout! Hope my score can improve. Do you know how far is the initial run down and then up that hill?
About a quarter mile Maximus. Feels like 10 though!
Great turnout for @TheAcademy. Pax getting stronger. The humidity was a challenge but we pushed through it. Sadly, I will miss next month’s Academy. I will be out of town.
