  • 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.

    COP #2: Triple Check – Long Mosey back to the restrooms and partner up. Pole Smokers, Jack Lalines (or Hoedowns), Timer runs to the playground and returns.

    COP #3: 4 Corners – Short Mosey to the Basketball Court. 4 corners: 10 Burpees, 20 Squats, 30 Carolina Dry Docks, 40 Monkey Humpers. Alternate between Bear Crawl/Bob and Weave between corners.

    Ring of Fire: 10 merkins each for 2 rounds. Followed by 50 LBC’s and 10 Heals to Heaven.

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

    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.

  • Not Cold Anymore

    Seven men rose from the fart sack this morn. Six dressed in their summer attire and one ready for the extended winter. A fun time was had by all until the clock struck 5.30 and off we jaunted to see what paraphernalia could be found lurking around Huguenot High School.

    Mosey around the bus loop with some butt kickers, high knees, karaoke (both ways) and Bernie Sanders. Circle up for warmarama that included SSH’s, Helis, Dead Man Hang, Cherry Pickers, Merkins, Carolina X’s, Freddy Mecuries and LBC’s. Abs looking fit for bikini season, short mosey to the bottom of the hill for a…..

    Triple Check: Timer runs the loop, Balls to the Wall and Heals to Heaven for the stragglers. Plank for the 6. Quick mosey to the amphitheater. Along the way stop on the hill for Clockwork Merkins: 1 merkin at 1:00, 2 merkins at 2:00, 3 merkins at 3:00, looking at you Chap. Burning in the shoulders, lets continue on to the amphitheater for…….

    11’s: Box Jumps to the top, 1 derkin, mosey back to the bottom, 10 dips. Continue on until numbers are flipped. Bad idea. Still burns. Collect the 6 and lets mosey the rear drive for……

    Lindsay: 30 Carolina Dry Docks (lot of shoulder work today)/10 World War II’s (rock hard abs boys). At every intersection reduce dry docks by 5, increase WWII by 5. Find that grass as soon as possible. Collect everyone at Forest Hill Avenue for….

    Light Poles along the Avenue: Flip between 2 burpee and 2 Lt. Dans at every pole along Forest Hill all the way back to the flag.

    Perfect Timing as time was called upon YHC’s arrival.

    Numbers/Names/Prayers/Announcements

    YHC took us out

    Thoughts and Prayers for DTH and his M as family friends are battling recent health scares. Good luck and a reminder to all to get checked. Chaplain is leading clockwork merkins at Twin Team on Friday. Monthly Convergence at Dogpile on Saturday.

    NMS: YHC was not sure what to do as the Q snuck up on him this morning. Great to have some warm temps to get the Forge regulars out of the fart sack. Doozy showed up in his winter attire expecting a blizzard or to protect his delicate skin from the rising sun. 3/4 through the workout he was shedding layers. Clockwork Merkins should not be followed by Derkins. Plenty of shoulder work today. Thank you boys for joining me. This is a great group and one I enjoy seeing on the regular.

  • Don’t mind us. Just keep shooting.

    2 Brogi Veterans and 1 Rookie were up before the rooster to limber up in the spring like air at No Toll. This is what was rumored to have occurred according to Lebron that shared the courts for a presunrise shootaround.

    Hips and Hamstrings were the focus of the day. Pigeon is fast becoming a fan favorite. Good to have DTH join Chaplain and YHC for the Broga craze to limber up before Doozy laid down the hammer. Hopefully spring weather stays and Broga will continue on the mean courts of No Toll.
