  • Hey You Guys

    11 hardened lads arrived to Hoedown in the finest of attire to start the week with a bang. According to the parking lot attendant, this is what was rumored to have occurred.

    5.30 start, most of us moseyed around the traffic circle while others that were a bit delayed joined up for warmorama consisting of invisible jump rope, helis, DQ’s, jazzercise, merkins, LBC’s, Suzanne Summers and Dancing Bears. Warm? lets mosey to the blacktop.

    7 of Diamonds. YHC calls and exercise which PAX will perform in multiples of 7 reps at each corner. Hold for the 6. Exercises included 7 Hand Release Merkins, 14 WW2’s, 21 Jump Squats, 28 2 count flutters, 21 2 count Shoulder Taps, 14 Imperial Walkers, 7 Burpees. Short Mosey to the school.

    Triple Check. Coupon Curls, Peoples Chair, Timer runs around Gaga Pit and returns.

    Mosey to grass for pickle pounders until time.

    Numbers, Names, Announcements, Prayers. YHC took us out kindof.

    Announcements: Beer Mile scheduled for October 29th. See Faceplant for deets. Happy birthday Fudd

    NMS: It has been a moment since YHC has Q’d at Hoedown. Good way to start the week. Great mumble chatter this morning. YHC is looking for recruits for his public speaking classes with emphasis on pronunciation, theology and gender neutralityisms. Location is on some private island. Spaces are filling up fast so be like Bodos, and book today. Great time this morning gents. Way to work.

  • Autumn = Broga Weather

    A duo Brogi stalwarts took to the No Toll courts to get loose and limber. According to the owls, this is rumored to have occured.

    Shoulder and back were the initial target areas. Legs and glutes followed with the pigeon the always popular position. Good shavasana caused some shuteye for YHC as cool breeze was ideal this morning. Good to see Chaplain recovering from his back IR and getting some additional rest following the intense 4.30 launch at Rock and Roll on Monday. Well done boys.

  • Ideal Conditions

    A perfect set of trios arose long before the sun to take advantage of the perfect broga conditions. Downed trees and dispatched maintenance crews could not delay early morning broga regulars for an event for the ages. Handshakes arrival at 4.29 got us started with Fudd surprise arrival being socially late after we started.

    Areas of concentration were shoulders (YHC would have worked this area more with knowledge of the impending beatdown), hamstrings, glutes, hips and back. Shavasana was welcomed by all with the comfortable conditions of autumn. Well done fellas.

  • Back from Break

    A trio of Brogii regulars rose earlier than most to warm up for the epic beatdown Florence had in store. According to the duo of early rising walkers this is what is believed to have occured.

    Broga emphasis today was on shoulders, hips, glutes and hamstrings. Childs pose and pigeon were popular along with House Party preferred shoulder stretch. Bands were used to work on hamstrings and hips.

    YHC had taken a 2 week hiatus from No Toll Broga due to a knee injury and recovery. Good to be back in the groove. Keep pushin gents.

  • Size and thickness is important

    After a week of recovery, seven Brogii veterans arrived early with a variety of comfort flooring. Fudd followed Hutton with the yoga mat, YHC preferred double towel protection, Lockjaw brought a wash cloth, while others found whatever was lying around the laundry on the way out. Exercises emphasized shoulders, hamstrings, hips and back. Shavasana was elongated with the cool morning breeze crossing the parking lot. Well done today fellas.

  • Naked Mile Part Deux Filming?

    9 Ryan Reynolds doppelgangers met for the casting call for 2023 summer blockbuster that has yet to be named. According to the top notch security and catering crews this is what occurred.

    Regular parking location was coned off by Snuff last night so we relocated to a lower deck that seemed adequate. Quick mosey to the front of the school to warm up with Invisible Jump Rope, DQ’s, Imperial Walkers, Freddies, APD and some Dead Man Hang. Warm…. lets head to the turf.

    RED BARCHETTA: Short Mosey past the amphitheater and thru Snuff’s Gate to the plush turf fields. Red Barchetta was the call. 100 yard sprint followed by 100 merkins (1st one completed calls out). Slowsy back to the starting point. 75 yard sprint – 75 squats with a slowsy back. 50 yard spring, 50 World War II’s, slowsy back. 26 yard sprint – 26 lunges (single count), slowsy back. 10 yard bear crawl, 10 burpees OYO.

    DORA: Move up to the open space behind the bleachers. Partner up for a DORA- 100 Carolina Dry Docks, 200 Monkey Humpers, 300 LBCs. Timer runs the bleacher loop.

    CATCH ME IF YOU CAN: Mosey back thru Snuffs Gate and partner up. Bernie up the road to Forest Hill until overtaken by partner who performed 1 LT. Dan and sprinted to catch.

    POLE WORK: Heading back to the flag, stop at every pole along Forest Hill alternating between 1 burpee and 2 LT. Dan.

    Numbers, Names, Announcements. Draper took us out.

    Announcements: Florence is leading the Labor Day Convergence at Dog Pile Monday Sept. 5th at 7 am. Coffee after. Prayers for Dealer and his family in preparation for the upcoming arrival of their son. Good luck to House Party with starting a new job. Prayers for those out injured or not able to join us today. Hopefully they are back on their feet and into the gloom soon.

    NMS: YHC noticed a good amount of activity at Huguenot during a predawn scouting mission. Seems they are using Thompson or the high school for filming of “Swagger” and not the 4th American Pie sequel as YHC had hoped. Seems the turf fields have much to offer as the gate seems to remain open if we respectfully keep it closed after use. Humidity seems to have crept back in but still a good morning to welcome back Dealer and Sundance, who is now becoming a regular. Great work men, enjoy the day.

  • Corporate Broga

    6 gentlemen of the morning arrived early for some exercises to limber the mind along with the body. Many still resisted the push for the new F3 sponsored Broga mats (reasonably priced at $249.99 plus S & H) but all attendees were well prepared with individual padding. Today was a concentration on shoulders, back and legs with an extended shavasana finale. Good call by Handshake to relocate further down the parking lot to avoid the headlights interrupting the final shavasana/naptime. Looks like the location will remain for the foreseeable future. Hot Potato Broga planned for next week so plan accordingly.

  • Lineman Drills

    A pair of Broga Veterans woke earlier than most to limber up before the No Toll beatdown. YHC worked shoulders, back, hips and legs before the always enjoyable shavasana. It was great to have Chaplain join in Broga again and YHC enjoyed hearing about his adventures in coaching youth football, even participating in some line preparations. Pushing around 12 year olds is different now, as those kids push back. Enjoyed the company on this great morning.

  • Prime Time Broga

    A quintet of early rising brogiis came out of the gloom to work out the kinks. Conditions could not have been more ideal for early morning broga with cool temps and clear skies. Concentrated areas included shoulders, back, hips and hammys. Elongated shavasana was well received. Groans were a plenty especially during shoulder work.

  • Big Data Broga

    4.58 and it was looking like a lonely broga morning for YHC only for Oyster to save the solo stretch to gather a double for the day and chip away at Hutton in BD points. Hamstrings and hips were focal point of the day in anticipation of the upcoming Old Glory. Well done.
