  • We Almost Uncorked a Bottle of Merlot!!!

    It was a great Saturday gloom for 4 HIM’s in The Lumberyard! Choo Choo finally made it out after working downrange in WV this week, it was great to have him back.

    Quick Warmarama! – Cherry Pickers IC 10, DQ’s IC 10, Ukrainian Soldiers IC 10, Fudd’s Wife?, Wilson’s Wife, Roscoe’s Wife.

    The Thang!

    Rendition of a rendition of The Beast and The Alpha. The Omega! 8 reps x8 sets x8 rounds.

    Start at the corner of the soccer field and do a figure 8 through the entire field at every corner to make 8 stops(50 yard run between stops). Meet back up at starting point for next round. Included: Merkins, LBC’s, Squats, Shoulder Taps, Crunchy Frogs, Diamond Merkins. YHC cut it short for the next COP.

    Pool Boy and I almost splashed Merlot! But we kept the cork on it!

    COP 2

    A game I learned down in Newport News. Requires F3 Workout Card deck and Frisbees. Q establishes launch point to throw frisbees to concrete pad. Run to pick up your frisbee after throwing to bring it back. If you miss the concrete = 5 burpee penalty when you get back. All PAX after disc retrieval regardless of concrete or grass landing, flip over their own card from the deck to preform the workout. All workouts are 25 reps. All MOT is the soccer field and back. All 100 count cards are as is. The PAX pulled a world class move in joining me as YHC drew the Bear Crawl card at the end of the workout. Excellent support guys, I’m glad I didn’t have to do it alone, that’s one of the many perks of this group!

    Numbers and Names

    YHC closed us out in COT and prayer. Praying for the health of our HIM’s and family members.

    Last weekends sermon at church has been on my mind, and I want to share it here. It is up to us to choose to be joyful or not in our daily lives. Do everything you can with joy in your heart, even if it might not be a joyful experience.

    Merry Christmas to you and your families gentlemen! See you in the gloom.

  • 2 Men and a Runner?

    Shovel flag’s up and Coupons down! I guess the shovel flag wasn’t the only thing that was up at 6 AM, am I right guys? Haha!

    Pool Boy and YHC got after it this morning for some EC with a 3 mile ruck and a coupon to carry to share and handed it off every 1/4 mile. Choo Choo rolled in about 3/4-1 mile into our ruck to do a partial run and ruck but couldn’t seem to find us to team up.

    Great ruck this morning with Pool Boy, it’s always nice getting to know him a bit more every time we get together.

  • Tubthumping!

    2 time traveling bootcamp enthusiasts took a trip back in time to their early teens! The year was 1997! They moseyed their way from the shovel flag, around the North soccer field and into the west octagon for some Warmarama that included: SSH’s, DQ’s, Tie Fighters, Tony Hortons, and many legs stretches.
    The song “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba rang out through the audiovox boombox so what else would 2 F3 guys do in this situation? Nancy Kerrigan to the entire song and drop for burpees every time we heard “ I get knocked down!” Duh!

    We moseyed to the front entrance gate for 25 Turkish get ups with an incline merkin at the top.

    We grabbed a kettlebell and moseyed to the hill for 20 Bernie ups and back downs.

    Finish with some harder than usual Mary at the shovel flag!

    YHC closed us out with COT,

  • “What Are Monkey Humpers?” I’m glad you asked!

    2 downright rowdy Timber Boys arrived on this windy gloom to get after a randomizer routine led by YHC. This was Wildwoods first time hearing about Monkey Humpers and I had him locked in the Pickleball cage, I’m almost certain he had to be a little bit worried!
