  • Blankets would be Nice

    Five of the best looking brogiis came out to enjoy the brisk conditions for a little pre FW broga. Areas of emphasis included back, shoulders, quads, hammys, calves and groin. Shavasana was a bit chilly with the ever-present breeze, but good times were had by all participants. Well done fellas.

  • False Alarm

    4 Broga regulars enjoyed the starry skies and supposed single shooting star early this morning. Various emissions were discharged by Pax while getting in some quality mumble chatter and higher quality stretching. Emphasis on the back, quads, shoulders, calves and hammys. Shavasana was attempted to be cut short by YHC only to be corrected by the accurate time keeper. Who doesn’t enjoy additional shavasana. Well done fellas.

  • Moans or Groans

    7 loungey veterans were joined by an FNG and a 4 legged companion for a casual beatdown followed by a flavor infused coffeeteria. After cafe set up and turning on the pot, we ventured out into the darkness towards the High School. Here is where we circled up for introductions and disclaimers. Warm Ups included invisible jump ropes, dead man hang, helis, DQ’s, Imperial Walkers and maybe a few other erect exercises. YHC was humbly reminded that there is not counting in the lounge and quickly pivoted to conversational warm ups.

    Mosey to the front of the school for triple checks. Timer runs the loop while partners perform hoedowns and balls to the wall. 3 rounds completed so we mosey on to the football stadium entrance. Singer and his K-9 Ruby found us here bringing ideal numbers for a quadruple check. Timer runs out into the parking lot and around the vehicle while partners perform pole smokers, squats and carolina dry docks. 3 rounds completed.

    Mosey into the parking lot for brocode exercises to the grassy area. Bearcrawl to the 1st light and perform 1 burpee. Lunge to the 2nd light and perform 1 squat. Reverse lunge to the 3rd light where Singer abided by the social contract of cleaning up after Ruby.

    Mosey back to the school for some bench work in close proximity so we could all share our feelings along with dips, step ups and incline merkins.

    BTTVF for quick stretching, numbers, names and announcements. Welcome Rousey, hope to see you back out in the future. Originally Baby Billy but given the connection to MMA, was later changed to Rousey.

    Announcements: see slack for Machismos Burger Night and fill up Breaking Bread.

    NMS: Great turn out this brisk morning. Always nice to have Handshake enjoy a true lounge beatdown. Much mumblechatter including Froggys vacation attire and grooming habits, Rosie is renting a 40 person compound on the lake, Chaplain gets the weekend of no basketball gyms, while Handshake, Doozy and YHC continue to work on “projects” to limited success. Great work today fellas. Thank you for the opportunity to lead. Flavored coffee afterwards looked well received.

  • Tres

    Perfect conditions were embraced for a bit of broga north of the river by a trio of broga regulars. All participants busted out there verified broga mats to enjoy the creaks, pops and moans that accompany a quality stretching session. Areas of emphasis included hips, glutes, back, hammys and calves. Straps were distributed and properly used with no pending lawsuits unlike one not be named quarterback. Thank you boys for joining me this wonderful morning. Much quieter when Handshake fartsacks.

  • We have a Pavilion

    An ideal dozen came out to the hydrated fields of No Toll to enjoy the unexpected conditions that awaited us in the gloom. Sunny and 70 was the forecast, but that was not the case. Here is how things went down.

    Mosey to the parking lot for introductions and disclaimers. FNG was present so waivers were presented and properly notarized. Warmups consisted of a healthy dose of SSH’s, Dead Man Hang, Cherry Pickers, Jazzercise, Helicopters, DQ’s and other accouchements.

    Mosey to the edge of the pavement to begin a normal 4 corners. 10 Lt. Dans, 20 WWII’s, 30 Carolina Dry Docks, 40 Monkey Humpers (just in time for a witness to enjoy the view).

    Mosey to the far field for a Beast. 6 rounds, 6 exercises at 6 stops. Merkins, Bobby Hurleys, Imperial Squat Walkers, Carolina Dry Docks, WWI’s and Burpees were the selections.

    Mosey back towards the flag with a quick stop at the gates for quadruple check. Timer runs to the water tower, shoulder taps, arm circles, squats were the exercises. Almost 1 round completed before time was called. BTTF for numbers, names announcements, prayers and coronation of the FNG. YHC took us out.

    Announcements/Prayers: Broadway is at Chippenham with a minor heart issues. Prayers for him and his family for a swift recovery. Machismo is smashing some burgers this weekend for his church. See deets on slack. Welcome Marshmello. Neighbor of L Woods who enjoys spinning the tunes at various social events, sometimes without clothes. Swift recovery on the knee that popped during the beast and hope to see you back out at the gloom.

    NMS: It has been a while since YHC has enjoyed a good simple Beast at the lush fields of No Toll. Conditions were not ideal but we had to embrace the suck to obtain the full benefits of the Beast. Well done today fellas. Great mumble chatter as always and appreciate the opportunity to lead.

  • Blue Light Special

    16 average joes were joined by a special appearance by RVA’s finest. No strip searches were required but plenty of suspicious characters are now under investigation. Here is how things went down according to Florence’s body camera.

    Mosey down to the cul de sac (furthest point of the AO) with Florence joining us. Salutations and disclaimers were disclosed and warm ups commenced. Exercises included SSH’s, Helis, DQ’s, Dead Man Hang, Cherry Pickers, Ukrainian Soldiers, Copperhead Squats, Imperial Walkers among others. Good times, Good times. Florence had to disperse at this point but full post credit is given, hopefully any future speeding tickets by YHC will be overlooked in exchange.

    Wosey to the edge of the cul de sac for abtastic light pole 11’s. WWII’s and Heels to Heaven at each lightpole.

    Polar Lunges up the ramp (lunge walk with a squat at every 5th lunge) to notice the temptation of the open gate at the climax of the ramp. YHC avoided such seduction and proceeded onto the planned beatdown.

    Triple check was called with Hoedowns and Dirty Hookups. Timer tooth faries up the stairs and runs the loop.

    AG for the 6 at the top of the stairs.

    Dora in the Darkness was next up on the menu. 50 dips, 100 step ups and 150 incline merkins at the brick 1/2 wall. Timer runs to the flagpoles and back.

    Mosey BTTF for 60 seconds of plank, 6″, Yankee Aggressor & Southern Gentleman. Numbers/Names/Announcements/Prayers. YHC took us out. Make sure you compliment an outfit today.

    Announcements: NOJ leadership soak at Casa de DTH tonight. Come talk everything F3 in the hot tub of discussion. Suits are optional and seating is limited so arrive early. Good health and prayers for those participating in Grow Ruck this weekend in Cary, NC. Prayers for the furloughed workers during this uneasy time.

    NMS: PAX arrived to see RPD already onsite. Many anticipated another encounter with “Bobby” only to be relieved that Florence had paid a special visit to the Forge. Great to see him start the day (ending his) with us and provide tales from the streets. Appreciate his service and commitment to the community. Great numbers this morning with plenty of good chatter and chuckles throughout the beatdown. Plenty of mobility to keep the chill off. Great job today fellas. Thank you for the opportunity to spend the morning with you.

  • Breezy Broga

    Conditions were ideal and the breeze, she was a blowin for the early edition of FW Broga. Muscles were stretched, chatter was mumbled and groans were audible. Shoulders, hammys, calves, back and glutes were worked specifically. Talking shavasana was a first. Great work fellas.

  • Train of Disappointment

    Lucky 7’s were tossed around at the latest installment of the award winning “Twin Team Lounge” this morning. Here is how things went down.

    5.30 is called so off we mosey for bit of warm up at the blacktop. Disclosures and introductions are completed. Conversational warm up included Dead Man Hang, Ukrainian Soldiers, Helis, DQ’s, Jazzercise among others. So we begin

    Mosey to the black top corner for 4 corners BroCode style. 10 merkins, 20 squats, 30 lunges and 40 shoulder taps.

    Pax noticed YHC brought some coupons to be stored for future use early on. Not to disappoint as numbers were perfect, we moseyed to the bus loop for a circle jerk. 6 stations of various block exercises while timer ran the loop and back. Exercises included rows, curls, squats, squat thrusters, WWII’s, and chest press. 2 rounds were completed.

    Mosey over to the benches for 2 rounds of step ups, incline merkins and dips.

    MBTTVF for a bit of stretching and premature time being called to the PAX dismay. Announcements, Prayers followed by Doozy taking us out.

    Tepid Triangle Ruck event happening 8 pm tonight at Alamo. Pad Thai still looking for partners for the Grow Ruck next weekend.

    NMS: After a week of numerous counting exercises, YHC was interested in a more conversational beatdown. Limited running was also preferred to packing in the miles. No better answer for that then to donate some 12″ coupons to the cause. Good conversation about various topics. Great way to start the morning and the weekend. Thanks for coming out fellas.

  • Is that a new Jeep

    6 of RVA’s finest came out early to limber up and share some laughs on a perfect autumn morning. The sprinklers were blasting, the breeze was brisk and the bodily functions audible. Areas of emphasis included shoulders, back, hips, glutes and hammys. Standard shavasana was enjoyed. Tales throughout the session included beach etiquette, sunscreen application and family dating. A specific Pax member really enjoyed the numerous questions regarding his recent acquisition.

  • Door to Door Sales

    Half dozen FW regulars included 1 SOJ insomniac traveler embraced the wet but cooler than expected conditions that awaited us at Westhoe. YHC is not a fan of cold rain so off we go looking to avoid the wind and minimize the dampness.

    Mosey to Triangle Park tip for introductions and disclaimers. Warmups included all standing exercises in conversation. Good times, good times.

    Mosey down Ridge to next intersection to begin a Lindsay. Stops at every intersection down to Westham Station with Carolina Dry Docks & Imperial Walkers as the selected exercises. Headlamps were indeed helpful.

    Complete Lindsay at the bottom of Ridge Road/Westham Station interchange. Triple Check was called with timer running to 3rd sign and return. Partners performed merkins and Lt. Dans.

    Mosey back up Ridge with some Love Hill (Bearcrawls, lunges & broad jump burpees), Lunges, mosey, Bernie Sanders, mosey, Butkickers, mosey, high knees. Other exercises were called along the way to eat some clock.

    Mosey back over to covered entrance at church for 4 minutes of ab work in conversation. LBC’s, APD’s, Freddies, Hello Dollies and some light stretching were all included.

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

    • Continued prayers for Charlotte.
    • 11th year convergence. 6.30 am Saturday at Dogpile. Participation Trophies will be distributed. Coffee appreciated if someone wants to lead the collection.
    • SOJ Evening Ruck happening September 26th. See slack

    NMS: Not ideal conditions but grateful for those that shook off the drizzle and chill to embrace this gloom and the suck of this mornings beatdown. YHC wanted no part of lying in water so PAX remained dry and always moving. Great mumble chatter including the chance meeting of Handshakes former neighbor who answers doors in only a towel (or did) while Handshake was fundraising. Story could go many ways so let your imagination run wild. Great work this morning fellas. Thank you for joining me in the gloom.
