A full hand of lean brogiis enjoyed the prime conditions that awaited them at Early First Watch this morning. Areas worked included back, shoulders, hammys, hips and glutes. Extended shavasana was extra nice with the cool temps and sound breeze. Mumble chatter was strong as expected leading to a variety of topics. Well done fellas.

Bone Thugs Broga
A grizzled Brogi veteran met up with a Brogi virgin to work out some aches and pains prior to the epic Sable beatdown that ensued. Areas of emphasis included glutes, hips, hammys, shoulders and back. A touch of work on the groin and calves followed by a bit of shavasana. Pigeon was a crowd pleaser as is typically the case. Good to see Bone interested in a bit of prebeatdown limberness in the gloom. Always appreciate the laughs and the groans. Great work.

Fools in the Rain
2 sleepless brojiis felt the need to get up before most in search of dry spots to lay out their properly sanctioned yoga mats for some predawn limberness. Variety of areas worked including hammys, groins, hips and shoulders. Shavasana was short but sweet. Appreciate the tales and the groans.

Just Enough Coverage
11 SOJ Titans emerged for the ideal conditions that presented us this morning. After some brief salutations and greetings, we were off to enjoy the treats that the finest fields in Chesterfield had to offer.
Circle up on the plush turf for introductions and disclaimers, followed up by a brief warm up that included SSH, DQ, Helis, Jazzercise, LBC, Dead Bugs, Merkins and Superman (with vocal harmonies). Let us begin the THANG
Mosey to behind the dumpsters to collect the long neglected coupons. Find a few of your closest compadres for a triple check. Round 1 bench press, wiper merkins (these sucked) while timer runs a loop around the 4 islands. Round 2 included curls for the girls, rows with timer running out and back. Return coupons to the resting place.
Mosey to the wooden post for Indigenous Pole Smokers. PAX holds legs 6″ while a selected person performs 5 Pole Smokers and runs to the next available pole. Continue to the end of the line.
100’s (or some numbers). Line up at the wood line of the fields. Brocode mosey under the pavilion where designated PAX member calls out an exercise and # of reps. 1st to complete said number announces their success and releases the PAX to continue running across the opposite field and earns the honor of announcing the next exercise. Exercises included 50 dips, 40 incline merkins, 50 groiners, 30 WWII’s, 40 squats.
Slow (non Doozy) Mosey back to the flag for 40 seconds of plank. Numbers, Names, Announcements, Prayers. SOJ Fiesta at Casa de DTH tonight. Buttery Nipples and Purple Hooters a plenty. Prayers to Machismo and props for recognizing an upcoming issue early enough to take control. Prayers to DTH as his M’s family works thru some health issues. YHC took us out.
NMS: Good group of No Toll regulars enjoyed the plush non moist fields. Conditions were ideal for Ultimate but YHC had other plans. Title applies to those that attended. Well done fellas, great work this morning.

Perfect Timing
Four valent and fine looking fellows awoke before most to get a bit of stretching and groaning in before a First Watch beatdown. LC Q included work on shoulders, hammys and hips with emphasis on the glutes in the pigeon. While Handshake Q led us in variety of seated and front facing exercises such as scorpion kicks, pencil rolls and extended shavasana. Well done by all those who participated without prior notification.

Recovery is Sweet
Party of Two enjoyed the early service at No Toll to work out the kinks. Hammys and hips were the requested areas. Good conversation and fellowship ensued over a variety of topics. Pigeon, Warrior and Childs Pose were some suggested positions, followed by some band work and shavasana. Great to hear the Grow Ruck Tales from House Party. Swift recovery for Chaplain.

Beatdown for the Ages
The 2 best looking gents in F3 decided to take on the day starting with one of the more difficult beatdowns in history. Too bad no one else was there to witness the massive effort and pain that endured but the results speak for themselves. Here is how things went down as YHC recalls.
Short warm up run thru Tarrington, doubling up on the hills with Kettlebells in tow. Upon reaching the apex, we return back down, bernie sanders style. Sprint over to Twin Team Hill for interval training. Numerous times up and back, YHC lost count. Time was getting close so BTTVF for 500 Burpees.
Numbers, Names, Announcements and Prayers. Grow Ruck this weekend, good luck to those that are making it happen. Smoke Meats and hot wings tonight at 6 at Bon Air Community Center. Is there a better way to spend your Friday night than eating meat, drinking beer and watching a hot wing contest? I think not.
NMS: This is how YHC remembers things happening. May or may not have done some light stretching on the blacktop but guess you had to be there to know. Thank you OC for joining me this morning. Good times and great conversation.

Bit Musky
A toasty dozen were piping hot out of the oven to see what YHC had planned the latest rendition of The Forge. No Snuff timer to see us off so technology was utilized. DTH provided the tunes, lets get this baby going.
Mosey around the bus loop including various movements such as but kickers, high knees, shuffle right and shuffle left. Circle up for introductions, disclaimers and warmarama that included the following: Invisible Jump Rope, Dead Man Hang, Jazzercise (with toe taps), Imperial Walkers, Hand Release Merkins, LBCs, Suzanne Summers on the left, Freddie Mercuries, ending with Suzanne Summers on the right.
Mosey down to the lower circle for triple check. Timer runs the loop, Australian mountain climbers, Hand Release Merkins. Continue on towards the amphitheater. Stopping on the hill along the way for some Clockwork Merkins & Clockwork WWII’s (revised to LBC’s if needed). Those sucked.
Onto the amphitheater for a 123 Dora. 100 Carolina Drydocks, 200 Squats, 300 LBC’s. Timer runs up the stairs around and back down.
Mosey out to the culdesac and partner with Catch Me if You Can. Bernie Sanders to the road, while partner performs 2 burpees and sprints to catch and replace. Stop at Forest Hill Avenue.
BTTVF along Forest Hill stopping at every pole along the way and perform either 2 burpees or 2 Lt. Dans.
5 seconds of Mary where we performed 5 arm circles to make Senor Frog smile.
Numbers, Names, Prayers and Announcements. Grow Ruck on Saturday. Come eat some Chef Dry Rub smoked meats on Friday night at Bon Air Community Center beginning at 6. See Slack for Deets. Monthly Challenge for May includes F3 Weight Watchers to get into bikini shape. Muscle tans quicker than fat I suppose. Prayers to L Woods father and DTH father in law as they work thru some recent health issues.
YHC took us out.
Naked Moleskin: Great turnout for a steamy morning at the Forge. Tremendous energy and ample mumble chatter throughout the beatdown. Good to see Handshake and Senor Frog becoming Forge regulars. Singer’s house is going on the market if they want to make the jump to the cooler side of the river, Jorts could be negotiated as an incentive. DTH provided the sound track for this morning. Good mix of tunes and tales along the way. Enjoy the weekend fellas. Appreciate the opportunity to lead.
Happy Birthday Wedding Singer.

Can’t get much better
A trio of southside yogiis enjoyed the calming conditions for an early morning broga session. Hawt Potatoe was on the menu with Chaplain starting us off to ease the troubled areas that included hammys, calves, hips and back. YHC took over midway to incorporate the shoulders, hips, and legs. Extended shavasana was enjoyed with prior to the epic NTB beatdown that followed. Well done this morning fellas.

Left Hand Dominant
Five right minded gents rose early enough for some stretching and relaxation tactics to ease their troubled thoughts. Some came with the appropriate floor coverings, one brave soul chose to go natural. Here is how things went as caught on camera.
Areas of emphasis included shoulders, backs, hammys and hips. Extended stays in pigeon and shavasana are always appreciated by the group. Ideal conditions for good broga. Thank you gents for the opportunity.
