  • Ants in my Pants

    11 early risers, including 1 FNG embraced the soupy conditions of the Twin Team Lounge to pay respects to the 25th anniversary of 9/11 along with homage to the AO namesake. No gloves were required while 3 earlier birds added on some extra credit preworkout. After all parking lot signs had been properly hit, we were off.

    Mosey to the base of Twin Team Hill for salutations and disclaimers. In conversation warm ups included Helis, DQ’s, Dead Man Hang, LBC’s and some other items that I dont recall. Slow mosey/wosey up twin team hill stopping at various times for 9 merkins and 11 WWII’s. Small mutiny was called by some to climax the tips of Twin Team Hill without exercises. This band was warmly embraced by the PAX upon their return 1/2 up the hill. Midclimb, YHC had enough of the humid conditions so we turn around and wosey back down to the culdesac.

    Mosey into the woods path to the 2nd school entrance and make our way to the playground equipment. Triple Check was called. Timer runs to the basketball hoop, exercises were Hanging V-ups and Lt. Dans. Mosey to the blacktop for a quick 4 corners. 10 merkins, 20 LBC’s, 30 SSH’s, 40 APD’s.

    BTTVF for numbers, names announcements, prayers. Ruck at Alamo tonight. See slack. Prayers in remembrance of the 9/11 attacks. We all recall where we were 25 years ago, pay homage as you see fit. YHC took us out.

    NMS: Great turnout for a smoky lounge this morning. After missing last week, YHC needed the comradery and mumble chatter that makes this AO so great. On the semi summit to Twin Team, some of the PAX, including YHC found a fire ant pile or something irritating that continuously bit the rest of the beatdown. Not fun.

    Great to welcome David (aka Mr. Wonderful) from Tarrington into the group. After numerous pokes and prods by various PAX, nothing embarrassing could be discovered about our newest Lounger, aside from being a Buckeye fan. Coffee and conversation that followed was on point as usual. Thank you fellas for the opportunity to lead this morning. Always the best part of the weekly gloom.

  • Armor All is a Cure for Pink Eye

    8 of the areas finest and best looking fellas embraced the raw dog freedom of a gloveless beatdown in the sweltering predawn sauna. Here is how things went down, lounge style.

    Quick lap around the parking lot then over to the plush portion of grass in Henrico’s’ smallest park. Introductions and salutations commenced followed by a in conversation warmup that included no counting and at your own pace. Exercises included dead man hang, DQ’s, helis, jazzercise, hillbillies, Ukrainian soldiers, LBC’s and WWII’s.

    Mosey down Ridge to the Country Squire intersection for a 4 person triple check. Timer runs up hill to the street sign, while others perform gloveless exercises of Lt. Dans, LBC’s, & Merkins (on new pavement of course). 3 rounds complete, lets continue on.

    Mosey to the intersection of Ross and Culpepper for another 4 man triple check. Timer touches 3 mailboxes (no repeatos) while similar exercises are enjoyed by the PAX. No air movement was enjoyed.

    Mosey back up Culpepper with a bit of mailbox bingo. 2 squats for left mailboxes, 5 SSH’s for right mailboxes. BTTVF for a bit of mary that included APD’s before calling time due to the miserably warm pavement.

    NMS: Nothing was on the menu for this morning beatdown. Temps were too warm for gloves so YHC decided to announce a raw dog beatdown to the enjoyment of the PAX to shed various protective layers. Taintlike temperatures were enjoyed with plenty of mumblechatter throughout the beatdown. Good to see a few regulars back from the summer tour adventures. Well done fellas. Thank you for the opportunity to lead.

    A powerful group of 5 enjoyed the prestorm conditions to work out various areas of emphasis. These included shoulders, hammys, hips, necks, calves and quads. Various desires of preferred alternative activities were voiced during the broga session including experting certain crafts. 10,000 hours is the expectation. Elongated shavasana was enjoyed by many.

Areas of emphasis included shoulders, quads, hammys, glutes and back. The return of various warrior poses were a welcome addition. Great work boys.

  • Party of Two

    A pair of loungey VIP’s embraced the velvet like humidity for an epic beatdown of mythical proportions. Intensity was on high demand by the Pax and YHC humbly obliged.

    Here is how things went down according to YHC’s delusional memory. 11’s from the river to Twin Team Hill in dead sprint with burpees at both ends, because why not. Bear Crawl up Twin Team and crab walk down to work a bit of the upper body. Time was up after 4 rounds so quick mosey back to the flag.

    Raw eggs and heavy mixture of creatine were consumed in place of coffee, just to get the energy levels up.

    This may or may not have happened but it was great to catch up with Chaplain to solve all the worlds problems. Well done today, enjoy your well earned vacation.
