  • Boulders and Shoulders

    6 posted this morning. After two days of mostly running, lower body and abs, I decided New Market needed some upper body work.

    COP: SSH, DQ, Imperial Walkers, Cherry Pickers, Merkins

    Go grab two rocks (one big, one small). Start with 10 curls (starting with big, switch if needed) run across parking lot and do 10 jerkins, run back and do 10 more curls. Do 10 curls every time and decrease jerkins by 1 until done.

    One side of parking lot 10 merkins, run across for 9 burpees, back for 8 merkins, across for 7 burpees, etc.

    Back to the rocks for rounds of arm circles, curls, overhead press, merkins, arm circles, Carolina dry docks, arm circles, rock swings, and more arm circles.

    Well done guys! I hope everybody’s arms are as sore as mine right now.

  • Time Burner

    A beautiful Tuesday morning awaited 4 faithful warriors who shook off the fart sack and tackled the morning with an enthusiasm not recognized by the common man.  Some mumble chatter, but here is how it went down for these noble warriors:

    • COP
      • 30 SSH
      • 15 IW
      • 10 DQ
      • 10 old man stretches
      • 15 helicopters
      • 20 merkins
      • 10 2x Suzanne Somers, each leg
      • 30 2x LBC
      • 20 APDs
    • Mosey to the black top for a one man Dora
      • 100 HRM (20 reps for each leg)
      • 200 squats (40 reps for each leg)
      • 300 LBC (60 reps for each leg)
    • Lap around the school back to the parking lot
    • Mary
      • 20 2x flutter kicks
      • 20 2x American hammers
      • 20 WWII sit-ups
    • COT with YHC taking us out

    The only man Dora was a time and muscle burner.  Solid work from the PAX as we got cardio as well as work all the major muscle areas.  Good to see these men today as they put in solid work.  Lighthouse and Honeydo were both sporting new haircuts as part of the Phase I integration.  The M’s approved.

    God is good all of the time!

  • F3RVA 3rd F AO

    F3RVA 3rd F AO

    PAX, clear your calendars for this time next week. An online 3rd F AO is opening up on Zoom. The first inaugural will be led by Kubota on “Joy Comes in the Morning”.

    Time: Biweekly, Tuesdays, beginning May 26th at 8pm

    Location: Zoom (Meeting ID: 822 7005 7337, pm for the password or check Slack)

    The purpose of this AO is to push the PAX along their journey in developing the 3rd F – Faith.  We recognize that PAX are at their own place on the journey and proceed at their own pace.  PAX are encouraged to share.  It is not required to share (wise men learn by listening), but there is a requirement to allow others to share.  What is shared in this 3rd F stays with the 3rd F; it is a COT.  None of the PAX has a monopoly on the truth, though we are all truth seekers.  It is fine to disagree.  If there are not disagreements, then we are probably doing it wrong.

    This 3rd F event:

    • Is free of charge,
    • Is a discussion based on the Christian faith, but is open to all men,
    • Is peer led by volunteer Qs who may or may not be certified/ordained.

  • Sports Day in DaVille

    MOLESKIN

    YHC like most people out there are anxiously waiting the return of American Sports. Yes there still has been MMA and NASCAR started back up on Sunday, but I know we ready the primary three (baseball, basketball, and football) to return. Today theme was to help filled that void just a little bit

    We do learn one thing about the Daville PAX, none of us should every get fouled while playing a pick up game. 1 for 12 at the foul line is not our best showing

    Great to have everyone join YHC day 5 of 8 Q’s in a row. T-Claps to Phonics and Marco Polo who have been to at 4 of 5 (Marco Polo – 4 straight)

    Merkin Count – 215 Merkins + Baseball Field Merkins + 37 Burpees

    Bodos missed out on a obstacle as we jumped the gate to the Tuckahoe LL complex.

    Here’s to getting stronger.

    Get some.

  • Bullsh*t exercises

    A power trio posted for the Punisher, all arriving via motor vehicle this week. YHC wiped spider eggs and slugs from a few spare red bricks and brought these along in the Chummobile – optimistically, 5 sets of bricks.

    Coupons in hand, we did mosey into the grass for our warmup – Imaginary Jump Ropes x 25, Imperial Walkers x 15, Don Quixotes x 15, Helicopters x 15, Russian Soldiers x 15, and Arm Circles x 15 (each way, each size).

    Shift to the concrete slab under the front awning of Holton E.S. for the first exercise set: Squats (with bricks held on shoulders with arms crossed) x 25, Merkins x 25, and Sits and Presses x 20. Short counts in between. Repeat x 3.

    Mosey to the west-facing side of the school for Overhead Presses x 25 and Hammer Curls x 25. Again, short counts in between and three rounds.

    Saunter to the outdoor classroom and pick a picnic table. From the table top, single arm Flies x 25 (each side). From the seat, single arm Bent Over Rows x 25 (each side). Finally, from the table top, again, Leg Extensions x 25 (gripping a brick between our feet). Yes, all bullsh*t. But we did this sh*t for three rounds.

    Move to the periphery of the pavilion, and begin single arm Forward Shoulder Raises x 25 (each side), single arm Lateral Raises x 25 (each side), and kneeling Concentration Curls x 25 (each side). Two rounds.

    Waiter carry bricks back to the parking lot, stopping three times for Upright Rows x 15. COT.

  • Even Oaks Must Bend

    9 OGs took a page out of TYA’s workout manual for the Spider Run this morning.

    Route – run up past the Robins School to Camps Drive up the hill of Towana, across Three Chopt to the access road. Left on Grove.

    4s – Singer and Pucker turned just shy of Oak and return to point of beginning.

    5s – Turn right on Oak up to Cary and return to point of beginning.

    6s – continue past Oak to Mumford and return to point of beginning.

    Where’s Saab? Oh he started at 3:00, he’s still running. I must say well played Swirly throwing the numberama ‘1’ out there without a Q on the page. TYA getting his extra in to Malvern. Bleeder working through some back pain. Hitch burning it up. Hutton your Q next week, I heard you call it.

    Great morning for a run, barely a car in sight. Love the downhill ending, almost makes up for the uphill start!
