A quartet of broga regulars took the early morning wake up call to enjoy the covered church patio for some limbering up exercises. Areas of emphasis included backs, shoulders, hips, glutes and hammys. Some new poses were improvised to the Pax approval. Mumble Chatter was strong as was expected at 4.30. Great work fellas. Namaste.
3 High Impact Men emerged from the gloom for an OTBs Wet One with the Iron Pax Challenge Week 2! Our HIM Commando couldn’t make it this Friday for IPC Wk2, he was determined to get it in this morning. Choo Choo and YHC loved the sound of that, so we came out to support him in checking that box and by golly it was a challenge indeed! We didn’t have a track, but we made due. Set up a 100m straight run in the parking lot(run out and back 2 times to get that 400m buy in) and set…
This group went to eleven, including two drummers who may have combusted. Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It’s just not really widely reported. We started by chasing Pigskin to Short Pump Park and then hit the pavilion for some additional warmups. Lighthouse requested 10 burpees and I obliged. After that start, we did helicopters and then arm circles (aka Green Hornet helicopters), then some heals to heaven, hammers and merkins. 11 people partnered up somehow and we did 6 rounds of one partner doing a lap (without running into the repair fence) and the other doing an exercise:…
Hot Tater. El Heisto warmed em up. Threw Q to Murr. We grabbed coupons. Did a few rounds of exercises under cover of clubhouse area (curls, squats, etc). Futon suggested “bus drivers” an exercise with coupons, which was tough. Run to playground a few times. Q tossed to Kenny G, channeling his inner Flyboy with exercises based on 100 less your age. LBCs, run to playground for stepups, run back pavilion for Flutters. Kenny G then took the coupons to the parking lot for several rounds of coupon farmer carry while partner does exercises (burpees, squats, merkins). Switch. Futon finished…
2 HIM’s rucked their way around The Lumberyard on this dark and wet 70 and sunny morning. Commando is a power punch of wisdom and faith. YHC was tapping into some of his strategies for leadership in the workplace and faith through unsettling times. We are blessed to have such exemplary men right here in New Kent. Looking forward to our next discussion Commando!
Four spiderlings waiting as long as possible to disembark from their chariots to hear the concise but clear instructions. 2 launched early (for some reason). Off we went for something like this: The Route Batcave to shopping center to westham station West on westham station, north on south ridge to the light and turn around 4s return 5s hit Highland and Old Bridge on the way back for 5.3 total. Numbers, names, quick COT to keep the rain off the backs of our necks. Moleskine Small group today. YHC expected it with a thousand servings of Gumbo happening at NoToll.…
NoToll wouldn’t have it any other way. The rain didn’t scare off a might 18 from posting to NoToll hoping YHC has something better than an Old Glory in store. Well, not much better. First, we all pay a 1-burpee toll for Heist’s terrible parking job. Done. Mosey to the back lot for very quick COP (not doing 1,000 SSHs) – all IC – SSHs, DQs, Helicopters and we were off and running…to the pavilion. THE THOUSAND – 5 exercises, 20 reps each, a run between rounds – 10 rounds. Exercises were: Merkins, Mountain Climbers (2-ct), Squats, Imperial Walkers (2-ct)…
A Q was abandoned for a good cause in the late hours of the evening. Rain came early and was relentlessly falling. 4 HIM’s wanted to fart sack, but what felt like a drug deal for some hard clay blocks needed to happen this morning. Woodsman brought the goods, Dumar and Hermey brought the truck. According to the Police Officer admiring peak male fitness, here is what transpired… Mosey around the bus loop and some light stretching to feel invigorated. Lined up for a Light pole Build-A-Beast/Pyramid thang that YHC came up with as he drove to OHES… ROUND 1Light…
