YHC missed the memo about the clown car to New Kent, as he arrived at Dogpile at 0550 to find nobody around except his 2.0s home from college. With potatoes warming in the oven, here’s what went down. Warm-a-rama – mosey to the amphitheater for Imperial Walkers, SSHs and Motivators The Thang – Doublemint takes the potato to the Ha’ Penny Stage.

Torn between showing the Summer Tourists the AO namesake vs living up to the lounge mentality, YHC came up with a hybrid option for the 9 men that came out to enjoy the humidity of Twin Team. Mosey to the bottom of the cul-de-sac with the threat of the hill looming for the standard warm up fare. Move up the hill for the heavy part of the workout – TwinTeam Beast but there’s a catch. Round 1 – 3 exercises at a time: 6 merkins, 6 WWII, 6 Jump Squats run up the hill to various stopping points and make…
On a clear and relatively temperate morning, 15 HIMs made the decision to suffer together rather than be comfortable alone. One PAX member had some family obligations that required them to stay close to home, so never wanting to leave a man behind, YHC took the PAX on a longer than usual mosey to a temporary pop-up AO on said PAX member’s street – Welcome to Futon’s Cafe, boys! Where the workouts are hard and the coffee is always cold! Warm-a-rama: To celebrate 7/11 Day we did seven exercises, 11 reps each – SSHs, Don Quixotes, Ukranian Soldiers, Hillbilly Walkers,…

Numbers were low at Timberwolf this morning, but 3 all stars showed up for a friendly game of knockout….or rather 26 games of knockout. With jr sized basketballs in hand, here’s what went down. Started off with a suicide run and some light stretching. Its game time! Knockout battles were fierce! We need to question how good of a lawyer Matlock is, based on his superb shooting accuracy. Flyboy continued to battle and never let his foot off the gas. After 26 rounds, 4 wins for Flyboy, 9 wins for Matlock, 13 wins for YHC. After a short breath catching,…
With different runner in different spaces of training and speed, YHC opted to Q a bro code style run. Goal to be fast or slow depending on your plan for the day.

Down 60, left on mt pisgah, continue onto Westfield, left on Winterfield, continue on to LeGordon, continue onto Charter Colony, left on Woolridge, left to go up mt Midlo and left into the parking lot. (Zoolander would have had a hard time with this route). Doozy sped ahead but kept coming back, Don…
We were in the presence of greatness as two F3 founders were among us for the Hot 100 Countdown. Warmarama 100 SSH 90 Seconds of 6″ leg lift 80 LBC’s 70 Flutter Kicks 60 Seconds of 6″ plank 50 Fingertip squats 40 Mountain climbers 30 WWII’s 20 Booyah merkins 10 Burpees Misc. exercises 100 years ago today the Scopes trial began in Tennessee. It’s worth reading about. Perhaps the first chapters of Genesis tell us more about who we are and why we’re here and less about precisely when and how we came to be. Admire creation, worship the Creator.
