  • Satan Hill/New Market Tour

    Three New Market regulars and two new additions woke and decided to tackle Satans Hill “official” launch. YHC rolled up right on time and we got started. A short COP and then came the options……………

    Boberry chose option 2! Learn from Wilson….don’t pick option 2! LOL That drove the PAX to mosey to the bottom of Satans Hill. YHC passed the option to Nancy Lopez to pick what we did on the Hill! He chose Suicides….all the way up and back. FOur exercises on the way up. BRUTAL!

    Round two of the workout – four corners which turned into a short tour of New Market PAX homes. 10 Burpees, 20 Burpees, 30 jump squats & 40 merkins.

    Round three was a signature NM ground & pound. Grab a rock and 10 of each called out exercise from the PAX. Run to the stop sign in between each round. Superman – come on Rosetta!?

    Sprint to the end of the parking lot to finish the workout.

    YHC took us out. Great job today fellas. I enjoyed the beating. Be sure to update the passports and return as there is sooooo much more Satans Hill has to offer!

  • Welcome to the Pickle Pit

    A nefarious nine gathered in the gloom for a beat down on a cool misty morning . Here’s what happened:

    COP: Mosey to the bottom of Lindsay. Deadman hang // Helicopters // DQs // Imperial Walkers // LBCs // Crabcakes // Peter Parkers // Tempo Merkins // SSHs 21s (count to 5 in Candace, to 21 silently in our heads, all stop at the same time, Hitchiker messed up so we did 5 burpees).

    Up the Hill: parter up. P1 runs to the top of Lindsay and back to P2, while P2 does lunges. Switch. Next round: Bear Crawls. Next round: Broadjump Burpees. All the way to the top of the hill. Mosey to blacktop.

    7 of Diamonds: On the blacktop, run from corner to corner, 7 burpees in each corner // Next round: 14 LBCs each corner // 21 merkins // 28 squats // 21 two count flutter kicks // 14 carolina dry-docks // 7 Burpees. Mosey to field.

    Triple Check: P1: Wallsit // P2: Dips on bench // P3: run to monkey bars, 3 pull ups, run back. Mosey back to the flag

    Numberama, Namerama, Socially Distanced COT. YHC took us out.

    NMS: YHC confused Pickle Ball with the Gaga Pit, thus Pickle Pit, which we think may be a seedy bar in Tampa.

    ANNOUNCEMENTS

    Pre Father Day Field Day at The Creek this Friday!

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • Feels normal again

    23 PAX made their way out to Dogpile to safely gather in Phase 2. Temps in the 60s with low humidity made it for perfect beatdown conditions.

    COP: SSH, Don Qs, Imperial walkers, Merkins, Flutterkicks, Scorpion Kicks.

    Mosey down to Backstage block storage to retrieve and drop blocks. Leave them there, down to Rusty Cage. Triple check of: Burp-Ups, Dips, and run to blocks – 10 Squats, then back.

    Head down Pipe Loop for a Proper Dora: 10 Merkins, 20 WWIIs, 30 Jump Squats. Then up the hill back to Rugby. BoxCutters and Squats to gather the pax. Bottom of Rugby partner up: Bear Crawl catch me if you can. 3 burpees then run up to crawler. Back to flag then quick mary til we hit 7:00.

    NMS: Today felt like Dogpile like normal for the first time in a while. New Market back in the mix with their mumbechatter (really just Wilson) and a large PAX over 20.

    Hitchhiker took a spill on the pipe loop and several PAX helped him up and out. Flipper busted out some Mr. Miagi magic on his foot and looks like he’ll be ok. Rumor has it Bodos also blessed Hitch’s ankle with holy water since he disappeared. Qs feel like they have to use the PipeLoop in the limited summer weeks where we have daylight but then remember how much it sucks. 5 trips through per PAX was enough.

    Good to have some newer PAX out like Zillow and Winehouse. YHC promptly was told to shave of the stache upon his arrive home.

  • Not punishment

    Two showed for this week’s Punisher. Mosey around the school driveway for COP with 25 x Invisible Jump Ropes, 15 x Helicopters, 15 x Don Quixotes, 15 x Russian Soldiers, and Arm Circles.

    Continue the mosey into the Laburnum-facing, tree-covered school yard for a deconstructed, all-Burpee Half Beast. Complete six Burpees and follow with 40 mobile Imperial Walker steps across the lawn. At this new point, complete six Burpees again and 40 IWs back. Finish 18 rounds for 108 Burpees while covering about 300 yards of ground.

    Hit the grass for Lindsays alternating Hello Dollys and Flutter Kicks (two count). You know – begin with 30 of one and 10 of the other and adjust by 5 reps. Follow with Elevens alternating Curtsey Lunges (two count) and Slow Squats. Finish with Merkin Medley starting with 11 reps and finishing with 1 rep and working through Merkins, Wide Grip Merkins, Close Grip Merkins, and Carolina Dry Docks.

    Remain in the grass for a few minutes of stretching then return to the parking lot. COT and YHC took us out.

    went around the group twice and below are the excercises:

    Runners, bikers and one fishing mother F’er commenced for the exercise of their choice.

    4, 5 and 6 mile Running route – reverse Carillon.

    F3 RVA’s prodigal son returns. Good to see you back Fudd, enjoy the vacation. We’ll throw you another going away party upon your return. Better yet, let’s get Toga back and have Fudd throw him another going away party. It’s the gift that keeps on giving Clark.

    Way to work men. With no Q on the sheet, reverse Carillon it is.
