Ouchhhhhhh!!!
9 almost able bodies showed up to what was supposed to be a boot camp at Twin Team but ended up more like a Monday morning River Run.
Here is somewhat, how it went down.
Mosey to the playground basketball court, DQ’s, Cherry Pickers, Jassersize, Helicopters, Merkins and LBC’s not exactly in that order
Short Mossey down past ball fields stop in front of stadium
Man Killers
Short mosey behind JRHS by tennis courts
Various exercises stopping at each light pole from stadium to opposite end of JRHS back parking lot
Long Mosey trough park, stop outside the indoor outhouses
Find a 4X4 post that suites your fancy and do 20 Incline Merkins
Mosey to the back playground for a triple check
Partner 1 run the perimeter, partner 2 use the V of the swing set to do pull ups, partner 3 dips after first round audible was called and pull ups where changed to incline or decline merkins (your choice). Loose Goose chose to go Rogue and get in some Jerkins
Long Mosey back to flag stopping twice for various exercises and let the 6 catch their breath
End with a Merkin ring of fire
Back to the flag

What usually happens when YHC gets the Q and doesn’t really prepare or write out a binki – We Run and run and run, so today we Ran
Thanks to all the guys for breaking out the headlamps and giving the park playground a shot. YHC was not going to take us there because he didn’t figure everyone would have light but you guys crushed it by proving him wrong. If anyone was wondering what that big bright light was that cast a shadow over the entire East coast between 5:30 and 6:15 this morning, it wasn’t an early sunrise or the first sign of the Apocalypse. It was Gumbo with his head lamp.
Sorry for the late post ya’ll forgot to write it before I left this morning.
YHC was watching the Dallas / Saints game and a little board so YHC opened the Q sheet to see who was at Batteau. No Q, well I guess you have to sign up right?
7 healthy solders showed up to see what Doozy had in store.
COP:
Head to the Pickle ball court, dq’s, helicopters, cherry pickers, bat wings, heals to heaven, LBC’s
Mosey to stone landing area:
Man Killers followed by three sets of dips (x20), run up the hill, squats (x20)
Mosey to the lake: Run the lake with descending merkins – start with 20 merkins at the first light subtract on at each light. Once around the lake use the lights on the hill to finish. Not enough light posts to work all the way to one so end at three.
Mosey to the road around that leads to the flag, lunges from sign to sign, backward lung from sign to tree, sprint to the final sign.
Mosey to the pickle ball court to meet the cheap prostitute:
A little confusing but we figured it out, corner one 5 LBC’s, corner 2 – 10 American hammers, corner 3 – 15 squats, corner 4 – 20 monkey humpers. Hit each corner on the way out and on the way back.
Finish out with a modified Mary, some LBC’s, scorpion kicks and other things. 10 Merkins of your choice while PAX holds plank.
Back to the flag
Numbers/Name/YHC took us out
5 able bodied soldiers showed up at Batteau in the early morning light or non-Light wondering who was the Q. DTH was on the list but its 5:30 and he is not here, Swirly do you want to take the COP? Absolutely, lets mosey.
COP – Swirly
YHC was not awake yet and didn’t think he would be writing the BB so I may be missing some exercises or they may be out of order. SSH, Helicopters, DQ’s, Scorpions, Imperial Walkers, LBC’s, flutter kicks and merkins.
Mosey – Face Plant
Stone landing area – 10 Merkins, 10 Derkins, 20 Dips
Mosey to the lake – hit all the light poles with 5 Burpees at each all around the lake
Lung up hill to first light 10 WWII, Run to second light 20 WWII, Lung to third light 30 WWII, run to last light 40 WWII
Back to stone landing – 10 Merkins, 10 Derkins, 20 Dips
Mosey – Doozy

YHC had taken a week off to hopefully heal a bum hip but with no real change decided a DTH beat down would be a great way to get back into it. With no Q at the helm, Swirly took control and declared a Hot Potato if DTH didn’t show up during the COP. Welcome to Richmond GLOW (from Greensboro), it was good to get to know you a bit this morning; YHC looks forward to catching up with you throughout the week.
5 grizzled veterans showed up for a Doozy Q at Timberwolf to learn a couple new steps for some and a refresher coarse for others.
COP – Mosey to the bus parking lot
Cherry Pickers, DQ’s, Helicopters and Man Killers Mosey to end of lot for Bat Wings (Arm circles X20 IC, Reverse X20 IC, Seal Claps overhead X20 IC, Seal Claps In front X20 IC arms up the whole time. With Shoulders primed and ready move to the wall for ascending balls-to-the-wall – start in balls to the wall position walk down and out to plank position 10 merkins and back up to ball to the wall (X3)
Mosey to the tennis courts to meet the prostitute
Corner 1 – 10 LBC’s, corner 2 – 20 American Hammers, corner 3 – 30 Hello Dollies, corner 4 – 40 WWII’s back to the start after each corner and repeat each corner as you go by.
Mosey to the track
Bear Crawl Inch Worm
A track has 2 straightaways 4 corners and 2 curves on the straightaway PAX lines up in plank position last person Bear Crawls to the front repeat until PAX reaches the other end of the straightaway. In the 1st curve run to next straight away repeat.
Audible was called in the first straightaway (halfway) because with only 5 PAX it makes for a lot of Bear Crawls. Indigenous people run to the other side (halfway point) back into the Bear Crawl Inch Worm.
Mosey to Light pole alley (modified)
YHC made up the exercises as he went along so these may not be in the right order. Start at light pole by basketball court run to next light pole do exercise and back.
10 Merkins, 10 Squats, 20 calf raises, 20 monkey humpers, 20 SSH for Honeymoon
Mosey back to the flag 5 Burpees OYO

YHC was looking for something new and interesting to try on the PAX this morning. Some where introduced to my new favorite from Indiana – Man Killers – If you like SSH’s you’ll like these. Bat Wings was a new one for YHC and proved to be a shoulder roster (YHC added the seal claps in the front from what was listed on F3 web site). Following it up with ascending testicles might have been a bit much. But WTH? Everyone knows and loves the prostitute so nothing really new there just hitting the abs hard. Bear Crawl Inch Worm was new and YHC didn’t have a good way to gauge how long it would actually take. We had to make an adjustment half way down the track (mainly because YHC’s shoulders where spent) but still made the best of it.
Notes and Prayers:
F3 RVA retreat
P.O.G. Grandma not doing well pray for his family
YHC’s Mother-In-Law is in stage 4 kidney failure and has been told that she will need to be on dialysis basically until the end.
With a gathering of 7 healthy men arriving at Batteau this morning and no one that would claim the Q seat a hot Potato was called and Sippy cup grabbed the reigns.
COP: Sippy Cup
Mosey to the Pickle Ball Courts – Side line to side line slow Bear Crawl and stretch the legs out, back was a Sippy Cup special (not sure what to call it) stand and scoop as you lung forward stretching the back of your legs, to the other side slow high knees, back butt kickers, and sprints back and forth (X9) on Sippies command. Finish out with Plank and 6″ variations.
Mosey to the side field or what I am calling Death Valley: Face Plant
100’s – Exercise (X100) first person finished calls 100 PAX (finished or not) runs down into the valley up to the other side, said person calls next exercise (X100) Repeat (X9). The same exercise can not be called and the same person can not call the exercises. To the best of my memory this is how it went but not necessarily in this order. SSH, Monkey Humpers, Flutter Kicks, Squats, LBCs, Mountain Climbers, 100 second Plank, shoulder touches and American Hammers. With only seven people and nine exercises a couple people doubled up.
Don’t mosey but the potato was passed to Bodos
Elevens on Death Valley – 10 Jump Squats run down hill and back up for 1 Burpee. You know the drill, Repeat and reverse until you are at 1 Jump Squat and 10 Burpees.
Mosey back to the flag: Doozy
Gather at the circle partner up (one with a bum shoulder) so what YHC had in mind wouldn’t work scramble to make it up as you go along. 6 of 7 partner up and go to 4 points of circle, 5 partner sit and stands run the circle repeat after 2 or 3 of these YHC audibles to Booyah Merkins and run the circle until times up.

If you are the one caught with the potato at the end of the game you write the BB. Yah me!!
It was a great morning for a hot potato, YHC was running behind and came into AO a little hot. Glad to see that the start was a bit delayed (by seconds) while the hot potato decision was made. Thanks Sippy Cup for being the leader and taking charge.
Death Valley is so named because you could get lost in the plush meadows of tall weeds that Richmond tax dollars are not being used to mow. I hope we don’t end up with Chiggers. For those of you that aren’t familiar with Chiggers, they are a tiny mite that lives in tall grass and lay their eggs in warm-blooded animals that pass through their living space. The larvae cause skin irritation, so if you’re itchy and have small spots on your arms and legs, blame Face Plant.
Notes and Prayers:
Camp out – September 21 – 23
For BRR brothers
For all those that are going through tough times right now, if God is with you who could be against you?
One year ago today YHC showed up at No Toll to post for the first time. It was a beat down by Gumbo called Ole Glory and it was magnificent.
10 strong showed up at S.O.T. for YHCs 1 year anniversary and this is how it went down.
Start right where we where, sitting two year old’s? Afraid not but on your 6 for some leg stretch’s. First legs spread lean forward, right side then left. On to the usual suspects DQ’s, Helicopters and Cherry Pickers.
Mosey to the bus loop for some curb work, Bear Crawl to the opposite side Incline Merkins, Crab walk back Decline Merkins (10 times each X3)
Mosey to teacher parking lot for some four corner (prostitute) leg work. Corner 1 Ball Dippers (X10 EA side) back to start, repeat corner 1 then corner 2 squats (X20) back to corner 1 then to start, corner 3 monkey humpers corner 4 calf raises. follow the same pattern for each corner.
Mosey to side of school for lunges to door number 7 regardless of what number light the Q says. Backwards lunges to the corner.
Mosey down the stairs to the football field, partner up. Boyah merkins (X10), alternating leg tosses partners lay head to head grab each others wrists and alternate leg lifts (X10 EA), Back to back partner stands lock arms push against each other stand and then sit (X10) repeat all exercises (X3)
Mosey to the grass hill for 11’s start with 1 squat run up the hill for 10 calf raises so on and so forth.
Mosey to the indoor outhouse for 1 minute of wall sits, right over left then left over right. High knees up the hill back to the flag

NMS – Thank you to all my F3 brothers who have made this one of the best years of my life. It has been rough on me and my family but you guys have made a difference in me that I can never repay. Show up, don’t be afraid to ask for prayer and you will find more support than you ever thought you would have or need.
It was a dark gloomy night with thunderstorms threatening and YHC had to decide – should I just Fartsack it for SOT, I mean I’ve finished the Summer tour! I know, I’ll sign up for the Q then I have to post.
8 other suspicious looking characters joined YHC and this is what went down.
Mosey to the teachers / bus lot for COP
Cherry Pickers, Don Q’s, Helicopters,Hillbillies, LBCs and possibly some others but I can’t remember any.
Mosey to back loop around school, lung to the bright light (Tobit), backward lung to the next light
Mosey to the bottom of the hill near the indoor outhouse. Doozy’s new favorite exercise, Man Killers. YHC screwed up the cadence so the PAX was punished 5 burpies OYO.
Tripple Check
Partner one Chicken Peckers, Partner two Squats, Partner three run the hill (X3)
Mosey to the track for a Wilson style one mile relay. 4 teams of 2 split up to go to 1/4, 1/2,3/4 & 4/4 points on the track while YHC gets the party started. Exercises are 1/4 spot Merkins, 1/2 spot LBCs, 3/4 spot Mountain Climbers and 4/4 spot squats. all PAX work their exercises while YHC runs to 1/4 spot 1/4 goes to 1/2, 1/2 goes to 3/4 and so on and so forth. Wilson is still trying to figure out how that was a mile run but we have a couple math geniuses in the PAX that laid it all out for him. After all completed all their spots which equaled one lap we met in the middle of the field for 5 burpies OYO.
Mosey to the bottom of the hill, one burpie to start run up the hill one burpie for victory over the hill, run to the bus loop one burpie for speed and run to the flag one burpie to finish.
YHC was getting his phone and Rosie felt short changed at 6:13 so American Hammers (?) and the Alphabet where in order.

YHC had some conflict going on in his head and decided the only way to get it done is to JUST shut up and do it. Thanks to the PAX for making me get going this morning. Sorry for the late BB but it’s been a very long day. Good night see you at The Forge.

Al Gore for the 6, up the hill we go. Butt Kickers to the light, High knees to the next light, Lunges to the 3rd light and reverse Lunges to a random tree. Mosey the rest of the way to the top of the hill to find a Ball, a chain and 8 exercises to work on.

Thanks Sippy cup for being the Co-Q this morning, keeping my count and providing the light to stay on the path.
YHC does apologize to the PAX for dropping the ball as the camera operator today.
YHC also has to clear up a post workout conversation. I did not Q the ball and Chain at every AO on the summer tour only 3 of the 4 nano regions. I couldn’t use it at Twin Team because they where in my car which was in the shop.
13 battle warn warriors showed up a midst a dark but pleasant 70 degree parking lot at Hoedown.
YHC asked Handshake to manage the time machine this morning and at 5:30 YHC was given the go ahead to get this party started.

Mumble chatter was at a high as it usually is for a (Boot Camp) Doozy Q. YHC was at Wilton House for an outdoor concert on Saturday with the M and stopped by the AO to verify the run portion was not toooooo long. The original plan was for the run to go around the school but alas YHC decided to shorten the run at the blacktop only. We finished the Ball and Chain with time for another exercise so maybe there needed to be one or two more parking spaces used (YHC knew not to extend the run). Note to self!!!
Thank you Handshake or Handclap ? for keeping the time machine going this morning.
Thank you Loose Goose for going after the 6 when YHC missed the opportunity
Thanks to all my F3 brothers for your encouragement, kind words and just for being good human beings in a world of so many inhumane beings. you bring out the best in me and those around you, keep the light shining.
