  • Anything longer than 2 seconds is considered cuddling!

    Here is how it went down today. Met at clubhouse 5:30am! Four runners & Annie took off to grab desired mileage. Two took off to complete the Murph. Honeymoon took us out.

    New Market has been very diligent in practicing socal distancing during the Corona Virus era. We might even have enough PAX to create a new AO?

    YHC has not Q’d in a LONG time and frankly I do miss it, but what I miss even more is the large groups of exceptional men I get to interact with each workout. I even though now that I have been grounded from travel through April, I might get to connect with them (even my NE Patriot friends). NOPE – Social Distancing is now a thing.

    While keeping our distance is necessary to getting life back to some normalcy, I do not want us to forget how to Bro Hug! See video for a reminder!

    Have a great weekend and it was great to see you men this am!

  • F3 App is DOWN

    Wanted to inform all that something has happened to the F3 App. Bleeder is reaching out to the PAX in NC who started it all, but we are unsure of it’s future. While Splinter & Doner Kebob are our website guru’s, they are not app developers (at least that I know of). I am definately not (but willing to learn)! If any of the RVA PAX knows how to or IS an app developer, we might be able to take over the app, depending on what Bleeder finds out. Likely just stopped being supported.

  • “Even if he shows, he isn’t getting this Q back!”

    Today’s Dog Pile turned out to be a hot potato. Upgrade no showed (hope everything is ok!). YHC feels for him and can’t be hard on him as YHC has done the same. However, you will never live it down……..I promise that.

    In order to know what we did, you had to post! Swirly started us and it ended with Wilson. YHC blacked out at some point either during the double triple or the dirty dogs. It was brutal and had a VQ in the mix. Well done men!

  • How do YOU use the F3 app?

    The F3 app & website are fantastic tools to plan a Q or even find out where to go, but do you know you can utilize the app to communicate with your fellow PAX? Yup, you can call, e-mail or even send them a tweet……….all from the app. I know a lot of the PAX have this info in their phone contacts, but what if you need to reach out to someone all the way up in Mechanicsville that you only saw once? That’s right……….the APP!

    I encourage EVERYONE to go to the app and edit their profile to add your phone #, email and twitter handle. Thank you for the support and if you have questions, {Please feel free to reach out. All my info is………yup! On the APP!

  • There’s always that one guy, but today there may have been two……………………….

    Twenty two men and one young lady showed up on a dark cool morning for what?? The annual Stage Workout!

    Here’s how it went down.

    COP: NOPE NOT AT ALL!

    Everyone gathered on stage, got paired up in threes and were assigned a station curls, tricep press, squat, WWI & run around theater. The people on stage did the called out burpee until song was over. Stations rotated, three off stage when runners came back from lap (went back to stage). Burpees included – One leg,feet in twice, Jumpling split leg, lunge, knees to elbow, high knee, deep squat (Helix style), superman (these really sucked), jogging (20 seconds in between burpee) and regular burpee. When the hour was up put the blocks neatly on the left lower side of stage for future use (note to any future Q’s). Thanks to Gomer Pile for keeping us in line and ensuring the blocks were neatly stacked.

    Moleskin:

    YHC doen’t Q veryoften anymore, but I ablsoutely LOVE this workout (even with the added running). We did learn a few things. Greenbow might hate running as much as YHC and needs to be called out when trying to shorten the course (its you against you buddy)! AND Flipper missed his calling. While being a dynamic, charasmatic front man might have passed him by, he is the one guy YHC would put in the air guitar competition without question. Amazing show and I cannot wait for the encore. If you were not there…………………..well I hope you enjoyed your vacation, ’cause Flipper is AMAZING. Well done buddy! Here is the song list if you choose to add to your cassette tape collection.

    It was a please to lead this and thank you for the mumble chatter. It was GREAT! Have a wonderful weekend!

  • OIC, McDonald’s, Politics, Cornhub and so much more!

    YHC has no idea how to add to this website anymore (probably need to Q more often). Picture three PAX – two “respects – Beaker & Aisle 5” and Wilson for a comfortable yet challenging 3.73 mile walk at 6am. The topics were…………….all over the place and Aisle 5 kept us laughing. Finished strong with three old men talking about everything over a strong cup of coffee. As Flatline says – you’ll know if you were there!

  • How do you service a hen?

    Ten solid men showed up on an unusually warm November morning to see what was in store.

    COP – Tricep Push ups, Squat, Imperial Walker,  Arm Circles, SSH, Merkin & LBC.

    Grab the coupon and head over to the front field (usually the dryest) for……….

    The BEAST – Monkey Humpers, Merkins, Alabama Prom Date, Carolina Dry Docks, Imperial Walker & Burpees.

    Head back to parking lot for something new with a coupon (no one ever guessed the contents). Circle up back to back with your partner creating a circle. Pass the coupon around the inner circle.

    Time for some parking lot tracers. Just a simple up and back on both sections of the parking lot until it ended.

    Back to the coupon! Rotating Ring of Fire! Total of ten merkins with one hand on coupon (5 each side). Rotate directions for second round.

    Back to the flag!

    NMS – YHC has not Q’d in some time. And this was not my original plan, but thanks to Marmaduke & Honeymoon, it was passed to me. Thankfully Marmaduke is a solid Q and shared his ideas. The Beast is always a crowd pleaser and could not be complete without burpees. Not quite sure the coupon exercise worked out how I had it in my head, but after further discussion with Beaker on ride home, I will bring back with a minor adjustment. At one point Doner Kebob was discussing with someone how to service a hen. That got everyone’s attention it went downhill from there. Funny what you can find on the internet and that is some time I will never get back. After spending way to much time watching Hens getting serviced, I chose to share how to prepare a chicken. Enjoy.

    Announcements – TYA is leading his annual Thanksgiving beating Thursday at 6am @ Mary Mumford. Marmaduke is still accepting coats/jackets/gloves. If i missed anything please add.

    Great job today men!

  • That time already?

    That’s right! BRR is NEXT week. That means it’s time for the Wilson NO Running – Stage Ground & Pound workout.

    OK – YHC needs to get this out first thing. The music selection and volume was not great. It will be corrected for next year. In fact, I am thinking of testing it a few times throughout the year…………be warned. YHC was really excited to try some new things this year – Partner Exercises. That whole odd/even struggle with YHC was happening even before we started.

    The video attached is one of my favorites from 5FDP. Enjoy. Swirly go find a wall………………….then find the song The Bleeding from 5FDP and you’ll be able to bench 380. 🙂

    26 strong men and one incredible young lady got right into the action. NO COP! Too much to accomplish. Head directly to the stage. Wait….is there a dude sleeping on MY stage. Did he not get the memo??? Audible – circle up in the enter area right in front of the stage. If he’s gonna take MY stage we are gonna make it hard to sleep.

    Here are the exercises. Many thanks to Vinnie for being the ring girl this year. YHC still loves ya.

    Partner Shoulder Press, Monkey Humpers, Arm Circles (who knew that would be so damn hard), Partner Leg Toss, Active Dead Cockroach – Partner Hand Punch, Imperial Walkers, Calf Raises, Shoulder Tap Merkins, Squats, SSH, Alabama Prom Date, 6 Inch Hold & LBC’s.

    Lots of mumble chatter early on today and lots of catching up with PAX who you might not have seen in a while. Who knew THE Carpenter & YHC were born in the SAME hospital in Summit, NJ? It was cool to hear where everyone was born and what high school they went to (some were sounding a little attached to the high school years). For those who missed this workout, Posh actual spoke during the workout! LOL

    THE Carpenter took us out.

  • Let’s Celebrate!

    19 great fellas decided to brave the bitter cold (NO Patriot Fans) to enjoy a Wilson celebration of the Buffalo Bills breaking the 17 year playoff drought!

    Here is how it went down

    Short mosey to the circle for COP (17 each exercise)

    SSH, Russian Soldier, LBC, Saggy 6 & Don Quiote

    Mosey to amphitheater for a modified deck of death. Here were the rules

    Face cards = 17 reps, #4 cards = 4 burpees each step (thank GOD we did not get one) & Joker = 20 count rest (informed while in gloom there were no jokers in the borrowed deck.)

    Exercises – Hand Release Merkins, Dips, Wheel Barrow, WWII (legs up), Dive Bomber Merkin, Sword Fight & Superman.

    Mosey to circle for rotating ring of fire – 4 burpees at each cone. Started w/ Merkins and audibled to other exercises.

    Thanks for letting YHC lead you today. Some work needs to be done on that beat down, but wanted to keep running to a minimum as I am fighting a chest cold.

    COP chatter was great and the Saggy 6 will return, but likely with some rocks next time.

    My feet are STILL cold, but hopefully will warm up this weekend!

    I wanted to celebrate the Buffalo Bills making the playoffs, but failure to use hands or breathe made it difficult. Oh well – here are some fun facts about the Buffalo Bills!

    est. 1960 owned by Ralph Wilson

    Best Seasons 1990 & 1991 (13-3)

    Worst season 1971 (1-13) Proud to say we NEVER had a winless season like the Browns this year!!!

    Attended FOUR Super Bowls as players (not fans) and walked away with a great dynasty of losing! 1990-1993

    Last time in playoffs was 1999 – until now 17 YEAR drought. We gladly pass the record off to the Browns. We hope you hit 18 years or more!!!

    ET’s was entertaining – Swirly needs to get his work computer checked for viruses!

    GO BILLS!

  • “A date that will live in infamy”

    On December 7, 1941, Japanese planes attacked the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor External, Hawaii Territory, killing more than 2,300 Americans. … The following day, in an address to a joint session of Congress, President Franklin Roosevelt called December 7, 1941 “a date which will live in infamy.”

    COP – SSH, Don Quixote, LBC’s

    Mosey to field for sprints. Here is how it went down

    Since the attack was in ’41, YHC decided sprint ladders were appropriate.

    4x to the 25 yd, 3x to the 50 yd, 2x to the 75 yd & 1 x to the 100 yd. 23 ab exercises between each round (LBC’s & Pickle Pounders).

    Rinse & repeat in reverse.

    Short mosey to tennis courts for rotating Ring of Fire & Mary!

    NMS

    YHC was made aware of an open Q at Timberwolf. With some pressure I agreed to get back on the Q schedule. A quick Google search made YHC aware that today was the attack on Pearl Harbor. Solid work today men!

    Wilson, Marmaduke & Manziel were all LIFO by 30 seconds or so thanks to a “faulty” alarm by Honeymoon……….it’s the button that says ON!
