I may have missed a few.Mosey to the grass field, grab a Block and carry overhead to the Island. Exercise One: Block Murder Bunnies out and…
A birthday Q to remember. Me vs me I always try to push myself in the things I don’t like doing. I looked back to the recent ipc week 1. On the football field we ran 90 yards between each work out. 35 reps at each end of the field. We did start with 6 burpees in honor of Broadways request. Workout in the end zones consisted of: SSH, merkins, oblique lifts with cindies, plank Jack’s, lbc’s, oblique lbc’s, box cutters, WW2s, calf raises with 2 cindies, double count lunges, squats, and maybe one or two I’m forgetting. We racked…
Nine (the best of the single digit odd numbers) PAX took an extra lap around the Stony Point Shopping Center while the tardy Q got his act together and then set off for a 3.5mi journey around the north end of Larus Park! Dr. Try Hard’s pesky 60lb friend once again joined us for our trek. Too tired to walk itself, Mr. Sandbag was shouldered by many a strong fellow. It was a great morning to be with these HIMs once again. At the end of our ruck we shared several announcements about the SOJ chili cookoff and father-daughter dance…

Perfect conditions were embraced for a bit of broga north of the river by a trio of broga regulars. All participants busted out there verified broga mats to enjoy the creaks, pops and moans that accompany a quality stretching session. Areas of emphasis included hips, glutes, back, hammys and calves. Straps were distributed and properly used with no pending lawsuits unlike one not be named quarterback. Thank you boys for joining me this wonderful morning. Much quieter when Handshake fartsacks.

On a brisk fall morning 4 HIMs showed up to the Woodshed to work on their Yahtzee dice rolling skills and math addition skills. Thank goodness no one was betting on themselves as no Yahtzee’s were rolled leading to exercise punishments. Here is how it went down: Warmup: Mosey to end of the parking lot and back for various IC exercises/stretches. COP 1: Grab a coupon and head to the beginning of the parking lot. 1 PAX member rolls 6 yard dice and adds up the total for quantity of called exercises (quantities ranged from 17-25) for total of 8…
Wanted to start by paying respect to YHC’s fantasy football team, which was unceremoniously eliminated from the F3 Guillotine League this week. Until next year! Now onto the workout at hand……………5 of us gathered at Midlothian Middle School for the latest edition of Miles of Truth. Could not have asked for better running weather! My instructions were incredibly concise. We started out on Mt. Pisgah road and made our way onto Coalfield Road to the YMCA. The route took us down the hill to Midlothian Mines Park. One loop on the trail, then back up the hill to Midlo Tnpk,…
At 5:28 it seemed this may be a solo workout but out of the gloom appeared a second pax – Stonks, recent keeper of the flame for the WDog AO. Stonks was ready for a challenging start to his day but instead was indoctrinated into the “respected” Gerryworld! This is how it went down… Mosey to the front of the Carillon for a little history on the Carillon itself and some light stretching. But also some helicopters, arm circles, Imperial Walkers and merkins. Mosey to field and together run to far end stopping at every other tree for 3 squats.…
The YHC rolled in as the wind howled like a full-blown hurricane! Hopped out of the car to catch up with Commando, and what do I spot? The Silver Bullet blazing in! A sight we haven’t seen in a minute! Here’s how it all went down… 11s with kettlebells Pull through merkins Squats Transportation is around the worlds Line up on the line call out an exercise and rep! Once done run 200 yards rinse and repeat. We did this for close to 30 minutes and did every kettlebell exercise that I can think of. Numbers, Names and Prayer Request…
