    • “Nails” took us out in Prayer

    NMS: 

    • Comparatively cool morning after recent weeks stifling humidity. Mumble chatter ended quickly with the Bearpee Slaughter Start. Continued the burpee theme with Body Builders in the first COP and 4×4’s at the Amphitheater — DTH was feelin wiped at the end. Mr Roper was noted to comment his ears were sweating. Long Pole brought his father out, FNG “Nails”, so named since his nickname at the Fire department is the Hammer. WELCOME NAILS!!! As always, YHC is honored to lead and serve you men – keep headlocking new guys and trying out new AO’s! 

  • Equal Opportunity DTH Caberama

    Arriving early to scout the AO, YHC found a construction site where the sand volleyball court used to be… so YHC took a jaunt around the AO to scout new COP points. Just about that time, Tater pulled up, and was noted to spend a few minutes in deep contemplation swinging on the playground swing set. There is something wonderful and mysterious about a full grown man enjoying a swing set all by himself. There were just four gloom warriors to take on the day, but as the watch ticked over 7am, the Jville clown car came in hot with another 4 studs – so an even 8 paired up and (much to their surprise) collected their cabers from YHC’s truck. 

    The THANG:

    • Announcerama (see Comments)
    • YHC took us out in Prayer

    NMS: 

    • YHC has been looking for the right time to deliver another Caber Q, and it only seemed right that our GridIron friends who did not have the pleasure of YHC’s Dogpile Caberama, have equal opportunity to test their strength. The routine was nearly identical to the Dogpile Caberama, and the GridIron boys (many of Respectful years) did an excellent job throwing around the Cabers. This was the 3rd Q for DTH this week, and the Qenergy was really slacking by the time WMD’s came around – many thanks to White Deer for the encouragement to push on! After our Namerama, with YHC’s encouragement to get an F3RVA shirt, it became clear that we needed to rename Touchma (Birch Cox) so his new F3RVA T-shirt wouldn’t incite a CPS case. This brother works at James River Equipment, a John Deere dealer with the buck logo, so “BAMBI” it is! As of writing this backblast it appears we have reached the necessary 12 shirt orders – thank you all for your help!!! 

  • Blast from the Past!

    YHC rolled up, parked in the wrong lot, walked over to the guys, and Mudface kindly pointed YHC to where the ST is planted. A total of ten gloom warriors formed up to follow DTH into battle – here’s how we won the day:

    • Holy blast from the past Batman! Turns out Trout and I grew up together in Lexington VA and YHC hadn’t set eyes on the man in almost 20 years – but how can you forget that handsome mug! He was also ahead of YHC at VMI. Small world! Glad to have you in F3RVA brother. Solid work from all the men and Chewie today. Glad you appreciated a few fresh exercises in the mix. Always entertaining to have Emoji in the peanut gallery. Thanks to Opus for your hard work partnering up today. Keep headlocking gents! 

  • Novelty is the Spice of Life

    Twas darkness and eerie silence that welcomed a handful of veteran gloom gladiators at WDog this AM. Little did they know that their Q was confined for many hours the day prior awaiting Jury Duty with only the F3 Exicon to keep him company… Here’s how DTH delivered bright novelty into an otherwise gloomy and mundane morning:

    The THANG:

    Mosey to COP #1:

    • SmurfJacks x15 IC
    • DQ’s x10 IC

    COT:

    • Counterama #11
    • Namerama
    • Announcerama (see Comments)
    • YHC took us out in Prayer

    NMS: 

    • Couldn’t have asked for a better group of brothers to start the day with – YHC was quite happy with the even 10 PAX, but didn’t realize our sailboat was without wind until Hardywood showed up – I’ll take uneven numbers any day to have you with us bro! We tried some new things today courtesy of YHC’s jury duty exicon study, and it appears the Dirty Hookup & Hip Slappers were well received and will be seen again. The Hands of Time, on the other hand, was a miserable failure despite being seemingly simple – perhaps having the individual PAX count going around the circle might keep folks on track. Anyhoo, a pleasure and honor as always to lead you boys. Keep headlocking!

  • Merkin CIVIL WAR

    Whistling dixie, YHC gathered 12 studly southern gentlemen around Old Glory to enlighten them of the coming battle. A nation divided against itself can not stand, so terms were set yesterday following WDog that North and South would compete in plank position – the most merkins in 45min wins the day. The SOJ Rebels to be led by DTH while the Yankee Aggressors at 45MOM would follow the flamboyant banner of Hardywood. Here follows the true accounting of how a few good Southern gentlemen gave life and limb for the honorable cause of claiming merkin victory…

    The BATTLE:

    Start with x30 standard Merkins OYO

    Mosey to COP #1:

    • Run down Love Hill completing x10 Merkins at each light post, ending up at the culdesac (x140 merkins total) – arm circles for the SIX

    • x5 Werkins IC (x10M)
    • DQ’s x5 IC
    • x5 Ranger Merkins IC (x10M)

    • Modified Merkin Beast — Start with x6 Merkins at each quarter of the field 25/50/75/75/50/25 (x36 per round), then for consecutive rounds add 2nd exercise following the initial x5 merkins:

    • Round 4: x6 M, x6 2-ct Flutters
    • Round 5: x6 M, x6 Squats

    • Complete x5 Incline Merkins on each step going up, box jump up each step between merkins (x25 Merkins)

    Mosey the long way BTTF:

    • Going around back loop, stop at each light pole to complete x10 Merkins, audibled after x4 light poles to complete x5 merkins each consecutive pole 
    • From end of AO on side walk, mosey BTTF stopping every 30 yards to complete x10 merkins (at one point x9 merkins completed to even up the numbers)
    • Lunge the last 50 yards to flag, completing x10 Merkins every x10 steps …ran out of time right after completing x660 merkins total!!!!

    COT:

    • Counterama #12
    • Namerama (all vets)
    • Announcerama (see Comments)
    • FRESH PRINCE took us out in Prayer

    NMS: 

    • VICTORY! VICTORY! VICTORY! The North has waved the white flag of surrender having completed an impressive, yet insufficient, 586 merkins in 45 minutes. The FORGE men stand victorious, with arms held limply at their sides, having won the day with 660 merkins in 45 minutes. THIS is what F3, in all its CSAUP glory, is all about!!!  DTH extends the invitation to any other AO that wishes to try their metal against the FORGE men, for a head to head 45 minute competition of their choosing. Or at the very least, attempt to complete more than 660 merkins in 45 minutes, and claim the F3RVA MOST MERKINS banner that the DTH Forge Flag will now be boasting. SYITG! ~DTH

  • DTH + 35lb of Enthusiasm

    YHC has enjoyed a couple days with family and friends at Wintergreen, and took the opportunity to inject F3 into an otherwise very relaxing mini vaca. The AO was a hike to Pauls Creek Waterslide, and YHC channeled Sippy mojo by completing the workout whilst backpack carrying a very enthusiastic 35lb 2.0 (firstborn) named Penniella Mae, who sang songs & chanted encouraging cheers throughout the 45min workout. Our friends’ two older children were tasked with carrying the F3 deck, and calling out consecutive exercises for the duration of the rocky/steep trail hike – which were as follows:

    • Sprint 200m
    • Low Plank 60sec
    • CDD’s x10
    • Arm Circles x100
    • Lunge x10 ea leg
    • Mtn Climbers x25
    • Squats x25
    • Incline Merkins x10
    • CH Squats x10 
    • Plank Jack x25
    • Backward Lunge x10 ea leg
    • Derkin x10
    • Smurf Jack x25
    • Diamond M x10
    • Werkin x25
    • Lunge Walk 100m

    Arrived at waterfall, removed giggling 35lb coupon, completed a number of Six-ercises previously unable to complete:

    • LBC’s x25
    • WWII x25
    • Heels to Heaven x25
    • Freddie M’s x25
    • Wilson’s M to stretch the core

    YHC then joined the kids to play in the exquisitely cool mountain stream, sliding down slick rock formations into deep pools, building stone cairns, and treasure hunting for interesting pebbles. And of course YHC also enjoyed the extra credit of carrying little Miss 35lb of Enthusiasm all the way back as well. #GodIsGOOD #SYITG

  • No Rest for the Weary

    Twelve veteran gloom warriors mustered at The Forge this morning to offer themselves unto the refining fire and the DTH hammer. Here’s how it went down:

    • Counterama #12
    • Namerama
    • Announcerama (see Comments)
    • YHC took us out in Prayer

    NMS: 

    • Beautifully cool dark morning to stand among real men and get the day started right. YHC was impressed with the fact that Mr Roper & Shakedown maintained Mumble Chatter for the entirely of the Knollercoaster. YHC was not so impressed that none of the PAX kept the count going during the 8-ct Burpees …extra Burpees were rewarded. Some commentary was made that YHC’s routines rarely leave the PAX a moment of rest – which will be taken as a complement, thank you very much! YHC enjoyed partnering up with Fresh Prince and Handshake. Solid work fellas! And it turns out that shooting “Rock” every single time will get you into the final rounds, but not enough to beat out the wiley ways of Last Call & HoneyDo. Strong win boys. Keep posting fellas, and keep headlocking those sad clowns you just KNOW need F3. SYITG! 

  • L.I.L.O. Solo Q

    YHC had heard the mumble chatter about Daville being a hard place to find, so YHC confirmed on Google Maps satellite imaging that the Map-confirmed location had the same building and bus loop configuration YHC vaguely remembers from the Ghost Flag takeover. In addition, YHC asked a local Davillion (Scrum) to confirm the location…and I quote “That is correct”. Dear readers, YHC has learned a valuable lesson – don’t believe anything or anyone. Yes, DTH fell victim to Davillion black magic, and it wasn’t until the clock struck 0530 and YHC was furiously reading last week’s Daville backblast (thank you EFHutton), that the secret AO location was finally revealed. Showing up a solid 8 minutes late, YHC wasn’t surprised the PAX had moved on. But where? With a cool misty rain making the humidity bearable, YHC set off at the run to reclaim his Q honor – be it ever so tardy. The bus loop area where the Takeover workout was centered? No Pax. The fields behind the schools? Nope. Running back around the parking lots and way back to the football field? Negative Ghostrider – the pattern is full. All the way back around the Middle School? Alas, no Pax. No F2. No Q honor to reclaim. And at this point YHC’s IT Band was screaming to just stop running & get in some good old Ground&Pound. So centering myself on the property with good views in every direction, YHC pulled out the F3 deck & proceeded to claim F1 victory:

    • Backward Lunge …Clock Dans instead
    • Karaoke 100 yards
    • Ranger Merkin x10
    • Shoulder Taps x25 (feet on bench)
    • Incline M x 10
    • Heels 2 Heaven x10
    • Mtn Climber x25 2-ct
    • Ball Dippers x10 2-ct
    • Merkin x15
    • Bear Crawl x30 yards to wall …throw in x5 BTTW Inverted Merkins
    • Chuck Norris M x10
    • Sprint 200 yards (around bus loop)
    • Werkins x10
    • Am Hammers x25 2-ct
    • Smurf Jack x25
    • WWII x15
    • Copperhead Squat x10
    • Elbow Plank x60sec
    • Monkey Humpers x15
    • Freddie M’s x25 2-ct
    • Flutter Kicks x10 4-ct

    HEY! What’s that YHC sees in the misty distance? Yes, the ghost PAX returning to the AO from some foreign land. Doozie cracks a joke in passing, and many other mostly unfamiliar sweaty faces pass by, most of whom give the fluttering YHC the silent “who the hell are you?” look. 

    • HRM’s x10
    • Monkey Humpers x25 

    Doozie circles back for the SIX, so YHC picks up the deck, and mosey’s BTTF to join the Davillion COT. The local Mumble Chatter was suggesting perhaps a more specific set of directions for the perpetually lost/late Summer Tourists. YHC removed himself to continue working out… 8 minutes late = 8 more minutes of high quality F1. 

    • Dips x25
    • Butt Kicks x10 2-ct
    • Bernie Sanders x100 yards
    • Derkins x10

    Doozie ambles over – “whatchya got left DTH?” – and promptly joins YHC.

    • Lunge x10 ea leg
    • Plank 90 sec
    • Calf Raise x100
    • Carolina Dry Dock x15
    • Plank Jack x25
    • Squat x25

    YHC thanked Doozie for his camaraderie. What a weird way to start the day – so many mixed emotions. Last In, Last Out. Does it even count as a Q? Who cares. Peace out Daville – I’ll either return with a comeback Caber Q or just never bother. ~DTH

  • The Holy Trio

    You would think there’d be at least one New Market veteran to welcome DTH to his first Twolf Q, but I suppose summer tour, vacations, and the general fear of a DTH beatdown was enough to keep them away. Admittedly YHC was second guessing Google Maps on finding the right address, but then a neonLED-lit cyclist pulled up to to YHC idling car. YHC asked, “hey where do we park around here?”, and SCAR replied “no idea, first time here”. Then whilst getting acquainted with the man, Double Mint pulled up with his shiny Mercedes, and gave the same answer. So we decided the side of the school would be fine, and planted the DTH Forge SF. We took our time stretching and talking about F3, but without any obvious late-comers, YHC said “OK, let’s have a look around’l

    The THANG:

    Mosey around the entire back half of the area, noting SCAR left his bike light on, the loop brought us back to where we started. YHC gave the usual F3 greeting and disclaimer, and we moseyed to the front of the school for COP #1:

    • YHC promptly pulled out the F3 deck to see what the good Lord had in store:
    • Carolina Dry Dock x10 IC
    • Plank Jack x25 IC
    • WWII x10 IC
    • Burpee x25 OYO
    • Bernie Sanders 75 yrds & back

    • Flutter Kicks x100 OYO
    • Oblique Crunch x15 ea side

    Mosey to Track for COP #4:

    • Ball Dippers x10 IC
    • Dips x25 OYO
    • Smurf Jacks x25 IC

    COT:

    • Counterama #3
    • Namerama
    • Announcerama (see Comments)
    • Double Mint took us out in Prayer

    NMS: 

    • Nothing quite like small numbers to get to know each other. Welcome SCAR to F3RVA – Army weapons expert, hitched to Korean M while stationed in Korea, nicknamed the Korean word for Lion “Saja” while living there since they couldn’t pronounce the R for his Birth name Ryan. So F3 Charlotte nicknamed him SCAR…and also because he has had about 100 surgeries after his vehicle rolled while deployed in the Middle East. But most importantly, a born again Christian who is faithfully taking care of his family, and ready to plug into F3 RVA! He lives about a mile from TimberWolf, so we provided him some other AO’s to try as well. YHC was also very glad to have Double Mint’s company and appreciated his closing prayer. New Marketeers — you’re dead to me. :-/  Keep posting fellas!
