Independence Day at Alpine: Our 250th Anniversary Workout on Friday 7/3
Friday July 3 we're throwing a partner workout for America's 250th — 1,776m row, 13 colonies, 1-7-7-6 reps. Plus holiday weekend hours and limited 250 anniversary t-shirts.
America turns 250 this year, and Alpine is throwing the workout it deserves. Here's everything happening at the gym around the holiday: the workout, the weekend hours, and the t-shirts.
The 250 Workout — Friday, July 3
We'll celebrate America's 250th in classes on Friday, July 3. A partner workout, ~45 minutes, with the numerology of 1776 and 250 baked into every part.
45 minutes. Two parts.
Part 1 — Row the cargo boat, dodge the tea tax
- Partner row 1,776 meters
- EMOM: one partner throws a tea bag overboard (a bean-bag toss).
- Miss the bag → pay the tax of 250. A 250 (20-ft) wall-ball lunge down and back, within that same minute.
Part 2 — The 13 original colonies
13 rounds. I-go / you-go by movement. Each round:
- 1 deadlift @ 250 / 177.6 lb
- 7 wall balls
- 7 pull-ups
- 6 burpees over the erg
1 – 7 – 7 – 6 reps. That's 1776, baked into every round.
Scaling
| Level | Deadlift | Wall ball | Pull-up | Burpees |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | 185 / 125 lb | 14 / 10 lb | jumping pull-up | step over the erg |
| L2 | 250 / 177.6 lb | 20 / 14 lb | strict / kipping pull-up | burpee over the erg |
| L3 | 315 / 225 lb | 30 / 20 lb | strict / kipping pull-up | burpee over the erg |
Why these numbers
In case it looked random — it isn't.
- 1,776 m row — 1776, the year.
- 13 rounds — the 13 original colonies.
- 1 – 7 – 7 – 6 reps — 1, 7, 7, 6 → 1776.
- 250 / 177.6 lb deadlift — 250th anniversary; 177.6 = 1776 ÷ 10.
- 250-ft "tea tax" lunge — the 250th.
- "Cargo boat" + "tea bag overboard" — Boston Tea Party, naturally.
Yes, Megan thought about it that hard.
