A dozen warriors came to Gridiron this morning for a Whitesnake beatdown. No theme, no games–just some hard work, listening too much to Lighthouse, Attila doing his best Napoleon Dynamite impression and lots of burpees. Started with some warmups in the new pickle ball lot including SSH, Ukrainian Soldiers, DQ, Helicopters, Hammers, LBCs, Copperhead Squats, Arm Circles, Merkins and other stuff I don’t remember. Perhaps some sic num-chuk skills. Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills. Moseyed to the track (which Mr. Rogers already ran around a couple times pre workout) and did a triple check where the timer…
Big Rig and Boberry were out earlier, I came about 630 decided let’s get a little maintenance run in before I start the main event. The morning felt good, as usual the heat on my body gets turned up and we’re in the groove. 2.2 miles in 20 minutes felt good but I needed to get ready before everyone else showed up. Another post shortly
7 strong showed up for a Doozy of a time at the Lounge. 5:30 a brief explanation of the laid backness of the Lounge and how it may be or may not be more or less than expected but it will be what you need for today. Mosey to the front of BWES to find dry ground. A little of this and a little of that with some stretches to start us off. Mosey out of the parking lot and take a right (Last Call is not feeling good about this) to Twin Team. Our task for today is slow…

13 HIMs ventured out into the higher humidity of Satan’s Hill to honor YHC’s 2 years of being a part of F3. Shoutout to Heist for riding me for 5 months to finally get me out to join the brotherhood! 2 years has flown by, but not without seeing so many positive changes mentally, physically and emotionally not only in myself, but the PAX brothers surrounding me. YHC wanted to push it a little harder this morning and in the words of Nancy Lopez “You know when the run up Satan’s Hill is the “break,” it is a good workout.”…
Two gentlemen met in the pre pre dawn gloom for a mix of speed work and weighted exercises. Started with a few slow laps around the track, then 1 lap at 8min/mile pace for YHC, and 2 laps for Big Rig. Cool down for a lap or two. Then one last hot lap. Weighted work followed with Big Rig’s coupons and shiny new kettlebell and YHCs dumbbell.

12 studs of varying ages – well varying from age 45 to a lot more than 45 descended on the back end of Mills Godwin’s high school to lift weights so we can look like Nitro from Convergence. At the end of our workout we found out that Pigskin made his 1000th post in RVA today. Not too shabby.
