    NMS: YHC had some extra cinderblocks of varying size lying around the jobsite. Hopefully they last longer in No Toll than they did at the Forge. Too bad YHC quick math was off for a triple check but improvisation prevailed. More running than YHC expected as that loop was brutal. Good work by Florence, Dealer and Posey. Great mumble chatter and turn out this morning. Enjoyed the company and the day fellas.

  • Broga or Stretching

    Six Borgii veterans arrived early and dressed in their flexible finest. Emphasis today was on the back, hips and shoulders. Good times had by all. Oyster showed his creativity by utilizing seat covers for his broga mat.

  • Let the Neighbors See

    A quartet of grizzled F3 veterans decided to prep for the holiday libations with a Twin Team beatdown in the thick Midlothian air. According to the dogs policing their respective yards, here is what went down.

    Short mosey to bus loop behind Betty Weaver for disclaimer and warm up that included SSH’s, Helis, Cherry Pickers, Dead Man Hang and some Michael Phelps. Let us begin:

    NMS: YHC had been looking at exploring Riverton Drive for a few weeks. Length and elevation were deceptive. Brutal slow climbing hill which the PAX crushed. Good mumble chatter before the holiday weekend. Daylight monkey humpers are always enjoyable and a great recruiting tool. Enjoy the day fellas and have a good holiday weekend.

  • Breaking in the Turf

    A pair of trios fought through the fartsack to descend onto the humid air encompassing South Richmond. According to the security cameras following our hooligan activities, this is what was rumored to have occurred.

    Numbers, Names, Announcements (4th of July Convergence at Batteau (Forest Hill Park) at 7 am. YHC took us out.

    NMS: YHC has been wanting to get back on the football field since we located Snuff Gate. Incorporating the bleachers found significant space at the top for future enjoyment. Beast does not promote significant mumble chatter but the plush turf is always appreciated for a future Hardywood shoeless Q. Way to work those shoulders today boys. Enjoy the holiday weekend.

  • Not in the Face

    A quartet of limber fellows arrived in the early morning hours looking to work out the muscle kinks and aches. Targeted areas included hamstrings, hips, back, quads, some shoulders and neck. The stretchy bands were not a favorite for some of the PAX, while others will be on the hunt for thicker mats to improve comfort. Good times were had by all. Namaste fellas.

  • Back for the Broga

Later it was revealed that Kubotas’ hamstring was a bit rusty and could use some additional work. Deshaun Watson can provide some recommendations. Great work this morning.

  • Here we go again

    Four regular brogii veterans descended upon the playing courts of No Toll to get the early morning creaks and pops out. A few moans and groans were audible throughout the workout as the PAX was hitting all the right spots. Extra long shavasana with a cool breeze seemed the perfect conclusion to mellow the morning. Good times gents. Shiplap has the Q next week.

  • Just Show Up

    A four pack of Brogi regulars escaped the clutches of the long weekend fartsack for some pre Doozy beatdown Broga.
