A salty dozen Forge vets truly embraced the suck this morning taking on the New Glory challenge. Their venerable Q threw down the gauntlet that completing three rounds in 30 minutes is the gold standard for badass fitness level, and these HIM’s showed UP! The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey loop around the New Glory course to review the expected exercises Circle up at the flag for a brief warm up and stretch to get the body fully limbered up THE NEW GLORY: The Forge’s own semi-regular fitness litmus test, to provide PAX the opportunity to monitor their individual physical progress Timeframe:…
17 HIMs came out for what planned to be an easier, low cardio start to the week. YHC started off with a little mosey and some warmarama ( SSH, Cherrypickers, Dead man Hang, Merkins, Freddies, LBCs). With there being 17 YHC thought “the pain cage” would be too small for the group to do a 4 corners so had to audible to do a 4 corners in the parking lot. Our resident women’s famous golfer of the group immediately commented that it was the smallest 4 corners he had ever seen and YHC took note….we completed the 4 corners. on…
YHC woke his 2.0 up for this mornings workout and we arrived to find 3 more runners and 6 more ruckers to have a large crowd of 11 this cool morning for a run and ruck session. Runners immediatley took off to runa 4 – 4.5 mile route this morning. Ruckers launched and we picked up Bulkhead on the way to tour the Rutland area homes with some great Halloween Lights. We saw one house celebrating Diwali – the festival of lights, so a great morning for a Ruck. We finished with 2.5 miles this morning. Great to see Winchester…
A trio of wilderness explorers decided The Crossing AO had more to discover than was previously known. After a brief warmup, their fearless Q led a run on a hidden gem of a woods trail adjacent to the upper field. The abbs were then thoroughly tested through a number of reps IC in the field. Again launching into the unknown, risking life limb and chiggers, the PAX hurtled down into the pond, to find it dry, and forged their way back out into the lower parking lot. YHC led a brief but thorough F3 Revieworama in elbow plank followed by…

3 Savages met up at the jungle gym at Ecoff Elementary for some Pull ups, with a side of Dips. We Pulled ourselves up and dipped to new lows. A great time was had, and we later endured the wrath of Doolittle’s VQ.
Good thing I had Rosie and Bullseye with me today or I would have been lost. Revisiting google maps, the route went something like this: Down Mount Midlo, around the lake (called Loch Lothian?! Great name by the way), out Midlo Mines Park to Kingham Drive. Left on Grove Hill up to Coalfield, left then right on Manders Dr. Right on Charter Colony, right on Charter, right on Woolridge, left on Coalfield and back to start. 4.5ish miles according to the route but watches were defunct for various reasons. Nice run today fellas, appreciated the conversation and pace. -Singer
4 Broga regulars enjoyed the starry skies and supposed single shooting star early this morning. Various emissions were discharged by Pax while getting in some quality mumble chatter and higher quality stretching. Emphasis on the back, quads, shoulders, calves and hammys. Shavasana was attempted to be cut short by YHC only to be corrected by the accurate time keeper. Who doesn’t enjoy additional shavasana. Well done fellas.
With YHC out of town last week in Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon and other sites out west, he was inspired to remember them in COPs this morning. 7 HIMs took part in the grand journey as follows: After individual stretching, a quick mosey from the parking lot and back led into warmerama with SSHs, Don Quixotes, Cherry Pickers, cross-over stretches and knees to chest on both sides. Another quick mosey into the neighborhood opened the morning. COP1 Mosey through the neighborhood. In honor of the Grand Canyon, at each driveway, perform an exercise: odd numbered – 10 mountain…
