  • Lunch Lady Land

    A dandy group of eight studs of SOJ ventured to Huguenot High School to see what YHC was cooking up. This is what was rumored to have occurred according to the parking lot enthusiast with protective gear.

    5.30 struck and slow mosey around the parking lots to pick up any stragglers. Seeing none, 7 continued down to the cul-de-sac for an appetizer of warm ups that included invisible jump rope, DQ’s, Imperial Walkers, Arm Circles, Reverso, Cherry Pickers and possibly others. Bone Thugs joined midway to make this a snowman group. Everyone warm with the F3 boiler plate release provided, lets mosey.

    COP 1: Bust out the juice boxes for Lightpole 11’s. 2 count Mountain Climbers and Merkins followed by lunges up the ramp. Upon arriving to the top, lets throw on 25 jerkins at the rails.

    COP 2: Salisbury Steak and Potatoes: Partner Up at the base of Mt. Chaplain. 20 PLT’s followed by 20 boxing cockroaches. Switch so both get into the mix. To ascend the hill, lets wheelbarrow. Arrive at the next parking area, repeat the PLT’s and cockroaches. Run in between parking lots. Upon arriving at final ascent, switch the wheelbarrow and complete.

    COP 3: Ice cream with a wooden spoon: Mosey over to small circle at the bus loop for Indigenous People Curb Crawl. Leader runs a lap and upon coming to the end, releases the next. To even out, we reversed as asymmetrical shoulders do not impress the ladies.

    Still time on the clock, grab a spot on the wall for some wall sits and various exercises. Slow mosey back to the flag. 2 minutes of Broga to complete the day.

    Names, Numbers, Announcements – Prayers for DTH’s sister and family.

    Doozy took us out.

    NMS: Good work on the upper body this morning gents. Dealer really enjoyed the lunges. Wheelbarrows were absolutely brutal and one that I had planned on repeating but not enough time. You boys crushed today and I am honored to work with such distinguished and fun loving group. This AO is always a highlight of my week and something I look forward to. Thanks

  • Prepping the Fields

    The regular quartet of Brogiis arrived early for some pre Doozy Beatdown Broga. Conditions were cooler then expected but the air was crisp and clean. Hips and Hamstrings were the focus of the day with a quick blend of shoulders. Some light maintenance was needed on the damp courts of No Toll, so YHC arrived early with blower in tow to ensure the conditions were primo and no slippage occurred. All good with muscles feeling good to start the day. Thank you all for joining me on the cooler than normal day.

    Off the Books Kettlebell scheduled for Sunday. See Chaplain for deets.

  • Running Red

    Eleven pollinators converged earlier than most this morning to enjoy the yellow coziness of Tuckahoe. According to the river walkers and bikers, here is what was rumored to have occurred in the morning darkness.

    Mosey to Henrico’s smallest park for Warm Up that included SSH’s, Heli’s, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Planks (with calf stretches), Cherry Pickers, Dead Man Hang, Jazzercise and some other limbering up movements.

    Mosey down South Ridge for Lindsay. Merkins and WWII’s were the call of the day, Brocode style stopping at every intersection to perform.

    At the bottom of S. Ridge, turn around and partner up. Runner runs to Overlook and back while partner lunges. Switcharoo until everyone reaches Overlook. Slow mosey back to the parking lot with stops along the way to perform 30 monkey humpers and 30 flutters.

    Back at the parking lot, collect a coupon for some Circle Block work. Timer is 30 curls, with everyone else performing a variety of block reliant exercises. Rotate clockwise for one rotation. Exercises included squat thrusts, bench press, squats, APD’s, LBC’s, swings, triceps, and some others that will go unmentioned.

    Return the block to the pile and BTTF. 2 minutes of mary for some Heals to Heaven and Shavansena.

    Numbers, Names, Announcements, Prayers, Bacon Bits took us out.

    Prayers to DTH and his family along with Lab Rat.

    NMS: Great mumble chatter this morning with Spring Break adventures. Seems like some First Watchers are becoming Citizens on Patrol, while others have poor timing on vacation planning. Great work this morning considering the yellow haze that was hanging in the air.

  • OG Broga

    A quartet of Broga Veterans rose to the occasion earlier than most in order to limber up before Gumbo’s Old Glory Beatdown at No Toll. Pollen was thick my friends as we worked the hip flexors, hamstrings and shoulders. Conditions were ideal with only minor groans heard.

  • Vacation Prep

    A trio of Broga regulars welcomed a rookie into the Broga family for everyone to earn double points on their Capital One Venture cards. Here is what was in our wallets.

    Upper body work was the call of the day. Shoulders and chest followed by the always popular pigeon pose to work the hips and hamstrings. Cat/Cow and some downward dog to work the back muscles was also favored. Good to welcome Oyster as he prepares for his vacation. Safe travels and enjoy the beaches.

  • Caligula Training

    A dozen hormonal post teens converged on the lush fields of Huguenot Park to prepare their abs for the upcoming pool season. According to the dog walker patrolling the perimeter, this is what occured.

    Mosey to Field 1 for the F3 disclaimer and an upright Warmarama that included SSH’s, DQ’s, Helis, Imperial Walkers, Copperhead Squats, Jazzercise and Dead Man Hang. Everyone warm, lets begin:

    COP #1: Super Dora – Mosey to the side of the field for the following 50 Big Boy Sit ups. 100 Hand Release Merkins, 150 WWII’s, 200 Pickle Pounders. Timer runs across the newly painted field and back. Al Gore for the 6.

    Prayers to DTH and his family as his sister is battling some health issues.

    3 Year Anniversary at the Forge this Thursday (4/7). New shirt design and hats available for order shortly.

    NMS: Great turnout this morning with New Market and Amelia making the trip and contributing great mumble chatter. Garbage Plate provided the Super Dora idea to work the abs for bikini season. Big boy situps were well received but it was the 200 pickle pounders that got the blood flowing. Great work today gents. It is great to start the day with humor and energy.

  • Bowl of Broga

    A trio of Broga regulars welcomed another rookie to pre Gumbo helping of Broga. That make 2 new rookies in 2 weeks for those counting. Working a variety of shoulders, hips and hamstrings before the Gumbo beatdown that immediately followed. Chaplain and I were happy to have Shiplap back after his maiden voyage last week along with Soul Train who is making his rounds on his first F3 week. Numbers are growing. Soon this Broga thing might catch on and prove the haters wrong.

  • Breaking Broga

    2 Grizzled Brogi veterans and 1 New to the Broga grind arrived early to the courts of No Toll for some Broga Flow. This morning we concentrated on shoulders, hips and hamstrings before the Florence Spartan Beatdown. Good to have some Shiplap enjoy the stretch in the gloom as Chaplain has become a Broga master. Enjoy the day fellas.

  • Why Did I Call

    YHC received a late night booty text from Chaplain to arrange a rendezvous at the mean courts of No Toll for some Broga before the Corned Beef beatdown. YHC was happy to oblige with the typical formations. Warrior and Pigeon are a typical personal favorite. 5 am seems to come earlier and earlier. Good to see Chaplain come and join.

  • Lasagna without Dessert is not a meal

    Last Call along with his 2.0’s and M gladly took the duty to serve the wonderful men at the Southside Shelter on Sunday Night. It was Pasta Night with a strong helping of Lasagna, Beans and Bread. For Dessert, homemade cookies and brownies. Strong showing by lil’ Last Call on preparing the desserts and selecting the meal. M wanted a healthier version with fruits for dessert but was quickly overruled with homemade cookies and brownies. Always enjoy this event. Great work.
