Four upstanding citizens gathered for an unknown, unplanned beatdown. It went pretty well… Opus got things started with a COP that included some exercises made up on the spot, like leg swings. Mosey behind the school for some pole smokers, and then time for a Dora: 100 donkey kicks, 200 squats, 300 LBCs. Q tossed to Mr Holland. In what has started to become a Saturday Standard, the PAX did a couple of laps around the bus loop, pausing at each opening in the fence for a set of exercises. Each man took turns calling the exercise and the number…
12 HIMs were unfortunately unable to make the trek to the 4th of July F3 RVA Convergence, but still wanted to go through a beatdown to make room for the food and drinks at the day’s festivities. Toby, Matlock and YHC decided to put together a little workout that went something like this… Toby Q – Warmup: Mosey down the path by the dog park and to the cul de sac, then back to the parking lot for exercises including SSH, Imperial Walkers, Deadman Hang, Cherry Pickers, Freddie Mercuries and ABPs COP 1: Cindy work in the parking lot using…
Pine Fork Rd kinda reminds you of Adriana going on a “little ride” with Uncle Paulie Walnuts, but opens to a beautiful wide-open park, where the Lumberyard locals greet you with a smile, a fist bump, and some logs rather than a bullet to the back of the head. Here’s what transpired after today’s little ride: Mosey around parking lot 1 COP (IC) SSHs x 70 or so Dead Man Hang Imperial Walkers Hillbillies Plankorama Hand Release Merkins Couple others hits UpChuck Q Mosey to parking spaces and spread out In a clockwise manner complete 3x3x3 (Merkins, WWIIs, Squats) at…
6 men sauntered forth in the latest edition of The Dogpile. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the ducks on the pond, the following might have happened. Nancy Lopez led the COP, including Jazzercise. ‘Nough said. Mosey to Burpee Lake. 10 Merkins, 20 something, and 30 something at every light post. It’s not my Q, so who knows. Also, Pax counted variously 24, 27, 29, and 30 light posts. For a group that has trouble running in a single file line (“Native American run”) for more than 100 yards, this is about right. Mosey back to Park Ave. More…
7 HIM’s converged at Rockwood for a ride on the pain train, which in YHC’s estimation isn’t nearly as brutal as in past years, BUT plenty of reps nonetheless. Here’s how we crushed the comfort zone for the day: The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey loop around the lot and circle up Welcome & Disclaimer A myriad of IC Reps to get all body areas sufficiently warmed up KILODORA: Partner Up, with one HIM doing reps while the other runs the lot and back to switch x100 No Cheat Merkins x200 Heels To Heaven x300 Squats x400 LBC’s CABER SPRING CLEANING: Mosey…
You can tout your fireworks or drone displays all you like, but nothing beats a glorious sunrise on a fine summer day. Five HIM’s got in a few miles under ruck-weight, and concluded with a ceremonial uncovering of the cabers and GTE logs. Conversation was excellent as usual and all five PAX stuck around for the main event – see next post… Yours AYE! ~DTH

Gumbo put out the late call for anyone interested in a pre-Convergence ruck. Poolboy answered the call and we got in 2.5 (Poolboy got 3+). Thanks for showing up Poolboy.
We had 47 studs show up this morning for a Holiday beatdown north of the wall in DaVille. YHC met with Gumbo, Mudslide and Upchuck to set the stage by planting shovel flags at 3 locations on the campus. Location 1 – Parking lot/soccer Field behind Atlee HS, Location 2 – Basket Ball Courts next to Bus Loop, Location 3 – Bus Loop. COP Mudslide started us off with a warm up of 20 SSH, 10 Ukrainian Soldiers, 10 4ct Imperial Squat Walkers, Good Morning Stretch and 20 merkins. THANG So Phonics took a group who wanted to mostly run…
