Party of Two enjoyed the early service at No Toll to work out the kinks. Hammys and hips were the requested areas. Good conversation and fellowship ensued over a variety of topics. Pigeon, Warrior and Childs Pose were some suggested positions, followed by some band work and shavasana. Great to hear the Grow Ruck Tales from House Party. Swift recovery for Chaplain.

Beatdown for the Ages
The 2 best looking gents in F3 decided to take on the day starting with one of the more difficult beatdowns in history. Too bad no one else was there to witness the massive effort and pain that endured but the results speak for themselves. Here is how things went down as YHC recalls.
Short warm up run thru Tarrington, doubling up on the hills with Kettlebells in tow. Upon reaching the apex, we return back down, bernie sanders style. Sprint over to Twin Team Hill for interval training. Numerous times up and back, YHC lost count. Time was getting close so BTTVF for 500 Burpees.
Numbers, Names, Announcements and Prayers. Grow Ruck this weekend, good luck to those that are making it happen. Smoke Meats and hot wings tonight at 6 at Bon Air Community Center. Is there a better way to spend your Friday night than eating meat, drinking beer and watching a hot wing contest? I think not.
NMS: This is how YHC remembers things happening. May or may not have done some light stretching on the blacktop but guess you had to be there to know. Thank you OC for joining me this morning. Good times and great conversation.

Bit Musky
A toasty dozen were piping hot out of the oven to see what YHC had planned the latest rendition of The Forge. No Snuff timer to see us off so technology was utilized. DTH provided the tunes, lets get this baby going.
Mosey around the bus loop including various movements such as but kickers, high knees, shuffle right and shuffle left. Circle up for introductions, disclaimers and warmarama that included the following: Invisible Jump Rope, Dead Man Hang, Jazzercise (with toe taps), Imperial Walkers, Hand Release Merkins, LBCs, Suzanne Summers on the left, Freddie Mercuries, ending with Suzanne Summers on the right.
Mosey down to the lower circle for triple check. Timer runs the loop, Australian mountain climbers, Hand Release Merkins. Continue on towards the amphitheater. Stopping on the hill along the way for some Clockwork Merkins & Clockwork WWII’s (revised to LBC’s if needed). Those sucked.
Onto the amphitheater for a 123 Dora. 100 Carolina Drydocks, 200 Squats, 300 LBC’s. Timer runs up the stairs around and back down.
Mosey out to the culdesac and partner with Catch Me if You Can. Bernie Sanders to the road, while partner performs 2 burpees and sprints to catch and replace. Stop at Forest Hill Avenue.
BTTVF along Forest Hill stopping at every pole along the way and perform either 2 burpees or 2 Lt. Dans.

Numbers, Names, Prayers and Announcements. Grow Ruck on Saturday. Come eat some Chef Dry Rub smoked meats on Friday night at Bon Air Community Center beginning at 6. See Slack for Deets. Monthly Challenge for May includes F3 Weight Watchers to get into bikini shape. Muscle tans quicker than fat I suppose. Prayers to L Woods father and DTH father in law as they work thru some recent health issues.
YHC took us out.
Naked Moleskin: Great turnout for a steamy morning at the Forge. Tremendous energy and ample mumble chatter throughout the beatdown. Good to see Handshake and Senor Frog becoming Forge regulars. Singer’s house is going on the market if they want to make the jump to the cooler side of the river, Jorts could be negotiated as an incentive. DTH provided the sound track for this morning. Good mix of tunes and tales along the way. Enjoy the weekend fellas. Appreciate the opportunity to lead.
Happy Birthday Wedding Singer.

Can’t get much better
A trio of southside yogiis enjoyed the calming conditions for an early morning broga session. Hawt Potatoe was on the menu with Chaplain starting us off to ease the troubled areas that included hammys, calves, hips and back. YHC took over midway to incorporate the shoulders, hips, and legs. Extended shavasana was enjoyed with prior to the epic NTB beatdown that followed. Well done this morning fellas.

Five right minded gents rose early enough for some stretching and relaxation tactics to ease their troubled thoughts. Some came with the appropriate floor coverings, one brave soul chose to go natural. Here is how things went as caught on camera.
Areas of emphasis included shoulders, backs, hammys and hips. Extended stays in pigeon and shavasana are always appreciated by the group. Ideal conditions for good broga. Thank you gents for the opportunity.

Great showing this morning in preparation of the ensuing House Party beatdown.

Back to Broga
A half dozen limber fellows rose the yellow hue of the moonlight to enjoy the inaugural NOJ broga session for 2024. Ideal temps with a nice breeze awaited a quartet of brojii veterans and 2 virgin brojiis anxiously awaiting their first time. Shoulders, hammys, hips, glutes and groins were flexed and stretched followed by the always popular shavasana. This is the most fun you can legally enjoy at 4.30 on a Wednesday. Great work fellas.

Opening Day Broga
A dynamic pair of early risers descended onto the pollenated courts of No Toll to work out the kinks and aches that had been plaguing them all winter. Conditions were finally tepid enough to enjoy the crisp morn for a broji veteran and a newby. Shoulders, hips, hammys and glutes were all worked in a variety of ways prior to the ruck beatdown that followed. Great morning out with NTB as broga season begins.
