Goyne Park

  • That’s Happened before, that’s why we have a name for it

    4 beasts from the east in SOJ made for the latest Bermuda Triangle Beatdown.  It was seasonably warm (finally) a perfect 70 and sunny in the gloom at Goyne Park. Here’s what went down.

    Mosey lap to the lower parking lot and back to the flag to get the cindies ready at the pavilion. But first to the yoga mat for the standard warmarama, mission,  credo, and core principles.

    Back to the pavilion for a Dora

    100 merkins
    100 Goblet Squats
    100 chair dips
    Timer runs to the gate at the parking lot and Bernies back

    Farmer’s Arm Day

    Cindy curls to failure then Skull Crushers
    Partner Farmer’s carries one Cindy to the tree and back, switching hands on the way back. Switch then repeato.

    Return cindies, then Broadway took us for a mosey to the lower lot.

    5 merkins and 5 SSH at alternating parking lot lines, descending to 1.

    Bernie mosey back to the flag.

    Names, numbers, prayer requests, and announcements.

    Welcome back Eastbound who went into hibernation for the winter, and Welcome to Dr Doolittle!  He has 4 dogs, and works with YHC, Eastbound,  and Pool Boy. There may have been some merlot spilled, but all parties pushed through! Hopefully we’ll be seeing more of them both in the gloom!!

  • SMACK TALK – State Farm Returns

    7 bad boys brought down the house at Bermuda this morning. YHC had some business in Richmond today and had to come in a night early to see THE BOYS again. I brought the worst beatdown I’ve experienced while up in PA so far. Everyone loved it… ha. This WOD is supposed to be an “equalizer” as there is no running, so it’s good for all PAX. It’s a good “PFT” Type WOD to do each quarter to test your fitness. For your viewing pleasure… SMACK TALK.

    • Warmarama: 1 Mile Mosy
    • Welcome, Disclaimer

    THE THANG – SMACK TALK

    • For time – complete all XO’s in sequence, 10 reps each, followed by 9 reps each,… down to 1 rep
    • EMOM – Break for 3 burpees
    • S – Coupon Squats
    • M – Merkins
    • A – Arlos (Coupon High pulls)
    • C – Curls
    • K – Coupon Swing
    • T – Thrusters
    • A – Alternating Rows (Law mower pulls, reps/side)
    • L – Coupon Lunges (reps per side)
    • K – Knees to Elbow (From plank position)

    The first few rounds are AWFUL -once you get down below 5 it becomes manageable. The burpees are always a good “F YOU” during your progress. Challenge yourself to get below 35 minutes.

    -State Farm – 29Minute (New PR)

    -Heist/Swoop – 31 Minutes

    -Bo, Big Rig, Pool Boy, Broadway – got down to about 4 reps round remaining due to time. Were on track for about 35-36 minutes to completion

    CLOSEOUT

    I freaking love these guys! I shared how important and impactful it’s been for me starting a new region in Central PA. it’s really accelerated the love and passion i have for this thing called F3. Reminder to all if you are getting “comfortable” with the success of F3 Richmond – pick something to get out of your shell (EH Someone who needs it, print business cards and hand those out, Volunteer for 3rd F, do a CSAUP). We are changing hearts, minds, bodies, and lives with every headlock.

    Always a pleasure to get back in these parts and try to challenge some of the hardest MOFOS out there. SYITG again soon!!

    Broadway says “Not so fast, my friend”

    He took us for a military style Run around the school, after a solid mile, we stopped at the bleachers at the football field for some incline merkins. Then moseyed over to the lower parking lot for some parking lot chasers.
    Then mosey up to the main lot.
    Start at 15 merkins, then 14 WW2s, declining and alternating down to 1, finishing with 10 of each.

    Pool Boy closed us out with his signature Taint tickling.

    Names, and Numbers. Broadway took us out.

    This was a good one, hopefully it will prepare us for whatever State Farm has in store for us next Tuesday at the same time, same place!

  • Leg Day, turned into Ab Day

    3 Bermuda Blockheads met at Goyne Park for the latest edition of The Bermuda Triangle. Pool Boy and YHC were able EH another one of our coworkers to our friendly beatdown.

  • Bermuda Abs

    HOT POTATO. I started with a mosey to the lower parking lot to get the blood flowing. I made sure everyone knew i didn’t know what I was doing. The WARMARAMA consisted of SSH, merkins, imperial walkers, lbc’s and maybe something else. Big Rig was looking for legs so I have him some pole dancers followed up with some double clutch stiletto squats. As we hobbled back to the flag I finally figured out what we were doing next. Toys included 30lb kettle bell for plank pull throughs, jump rope, and ww3 with the 20lbslam ball. This turned into a triple set with a emom timer. I tossed the potato to BigRig where with did a step down of 20 reps and various weight for curls. Curls for days talk about a gun show. Speaking of potatoes, I was mashed after a ab ring of fire. We started with a usual freddy mercury and Broadway called flutter kicks. No big deal right false 20 count then stop at 6 inches, up to 18″, then get together and spread. None the less Broadway showed us we weren’t ready. All around great workout with I’m sure a few things missing in this story.

  • Bermuda Boys Back At It

    Four Horsemen came out to The Bermuda Triangle, for the hottest potato Goyne Park has ever seen.

    Hard to remember everything, but there was a vicious version of arm circles from Pool Boy, a trio of ab exercises from Posh, a leg circuit in Pole Alley from YHC, and a merkin mosey from Broadway.

    Great time with the Bermuda Boys. Looking forward to some warm weather.

  • Bermuda Cabana?

    Two Bermuda Boys did a Twin Team Lounge inspired workout this morning. With YHC in peak marathon training, the pair decided a mild workout would be a good way to start our morning.

    No warmarama necessary, just a mosey lap around the parking lot.

    Various exercises followed by a mosey to the dumpsters and back that included, but wasn’t limited to
    Merkins
    Side lunges
    Plank jacks
    Oblique Pickle Pounders with Mountain Climbers

    Over to the Carousel for various exercises
    Johnny Cash Carousel
    Pool Boy came up with a more traditional Bermuda Boys exercise handwalking the Carousel around for a lap with feet elevated on the handles

    Back to the parking lot for some more merkins, Cindy Presses, and Goblet Squats

    YHC was glad to have a mild workout, this morning, and even more grateful for Pool Boy’s company. We’re definitely looking forward to some warmer mornings in the Triangle.

    Prayer Requests
    YHC’S mom has been waiting to get back surgery scheduled for well over a year, and she finally got scheduled at the end of May. It’s pretty far off but I’m feeling pretty nervous about it. Hoping for a successful surgery and recovery.

  • Bermuda’s Still Here!

  • Modified MABA Tabata

    3 HIM with coupons ready for an almost mosey free workout came together in the parking lot of the Bermuda Triangle for a Tabata workout with Thrusters instead of Burpees for MABA.

    YHC asked Tiger King yesterday if he was a hard commit for this morning’s workout and he stated his concern for slipping on ice. Turned out YHC was planning on very limited running after rolling his ankle on Sunday, so it all worked out.

    530 rolled in and we did our first 10 Thrusters, followed by a brief warmarama.
    SSH, Imperial Walkers, Don Quyotes, Helicopters, Nancy Kerrigan’s.

    The Thang

    10 Thrusters every 5 minutes  10 sets, 100 Thrusters(credit to DTH for the EMOM idea for MABA)

    4 sets of 20 Oblique Lifts (2 each side)
    20 Cindy Swings

    Ab Ring of Fire
    20 WW2s
    20 Pulse Ups
    20V Ups

    30 Curls

    Short mosey to the picnic pavilion and back.

    YHC gently set down his Cindy at the end of a set of Thrusters and it literally crumbled into 6 pieces, at this point we had to do triple checks, since we only had 2 cindies for the 3 of us.

    Triple Check 1

    Curls, Skull Crushers,  20 merkins,  only 1 round

    Ab Ring of Fire 2

    Penguins, APB, Oblique V Ups

    Triple Check 2

    Calf Raises normal stance x25, 2nd Round Pigeon toed, 3rd Round Duck footed
    Imperial Walkers
    Hold Plank

    End with COT

    YHC doesn’t have too much experience leading a workout without any running, but it wasn’t necessary to get the heart pumping!  Great push by the PAX!

    Frozen Triangle Super Bowl Saturday February 8th!

    Broadway took us out.
