  • State Farm and Pool Boy can’t seem to count past 12

    3 Compadres made their way to The Bermuda Triangle for another test of strength and endurance. It was a steamy morning, and we had coupons aplenty.

    We moseyed over to our coupon storage and grabbed a coupl cindies, then moseyed back to the grill next to the pavilion for a standard warmarama. State Farm, and Pool Boy really need to work on his counting past 12. For some reason, they gets lost after that point.

    Next over to the restroom building for some donkey kicks before we get to use our toys. Sets of 5, 10, 15, and 20.

    Next for a triple check

    1st exercise: WW4s (WW2 situps with a 20 lb slamball, and an overhead American Hammer)

    2nd: Goblet squats with kettlebell

    Timer: Farmer’s carry 2 cindies to the tree and back. 10 Deficit Merkins between cindies every time you have to drop the cindies

    After a couple of the Farmer carries, just holding the kettlebell became difficult. Killer grip workout.

    Return cindies home and bttf.

    31s until time expired

    21 merkins and 10 V ups

    20 merkins 11 vups Etc. Etc

    I must admit I was smoked and had to modify the merkins to failure very early on. State Farm was proudly stuck his chest out after he made it through the reps. Pool Boy continues to get stronger, and pushes himself harder each time out.

    Love these Bermuda Boyz, even if they have trouble counting.

  • 2pack abs all around

    7 wannabe Hasselhoff’s gathered in the gloom in an effort to improve our physical appearances for the beach. YHC pulled in to find Broadway, Pool Boy, State Farm, & Big Rig doing pull ups prior to the beatdown. TClaps to the extra effort boys!

    Mosey to the football field for COP: SSH’s, DQ’s, Dead Man Hang, Merkins, Planks, several Mary exercises, more planks, side leg raises. Mosey to the end zone for 20’s. Run down the field stopping at the 25, 50, and 75 yard lines to do merkins and WW2’s……5 and 15, 10 and 10, 15 and 5. Plank in the endzone for the six. R&R coming back with burpees and crunchy frogs. 20 ct from Big Rig and mosey to the playground. 10 pull ups and run a lap. 10 leg raises & 5 pullups then bear crawl a lap around the playground. Plank for a while and do some yoga and mary. 5 more pullups and then mosey back to the flag for round robin Mary…..each PAX picks an exercise.

    Numberama, Namerama, YHC took us out.

    The PAX performed admirably today, embracing the many minutes in plank and mary work in an effort to increase our core strength and beach body appearance. YHC will be sure to take a pic of my 2 pack when it appears and send it out!

    Announcements
    YHC took us out.

    Moleskin: Things are just a bit different out in Chester. The temperature is 2 degrees higher; the humidity is 100% higher, and the sunrise is an hour later. The commute not so bad. Well done today, boys. YHC planned to use the football field but noticed the closed field sign. It’s nice of them to get this field in shape for us to use for a future beast.

  • 21’s are only good in Black jack

    Started with the quick mosey to the BBall court.

    WARMARAMA: circled up for my introduction. SSH’s, Ukrainian sliders, grass grabbers. Around the perimeter of the basketball court we started on the long side with lunges, then broad jump burpees, Mario hops, finished our lap with bear crawl.

    From there we mosied over to the entry way polls for some pole smokers and pole dancers. Quick stroll around the cow pasture to the Pavillion for some dips, incline merkins and decline merkins. At this point someone thought it would be a good idea to call 21’s with burpees and WW2. This was a bad call that I didn’t fully understand at that time. At this point I called a modify to finish off with something different. Did a cool down with Alabama prom dates, flutter kicks, hello dollies, and American Hammers until fail. Went behind the barn with Cindy for a rifle carry through the cow pasture and curled Cindy on the way back. Mosey BTTF for some overhead stretches, arm circles, and various leg stretches.

    Check slack for all current events going on

    PRAYERS for Big Rig and Pool Boy’s family members going through complications right now.

  • POOL BOY VQ

    9 HIM’S set sail in the treacherous waters to the Bermuda Triangle. I have made 26 posts with no rain so what better than washout VQ.

    WARMARAMA: Mosey to the basketball court for my welcome and disclaimer. Some fast counts, some slow counts, and some missed counts. Helicopters, Don Quixotes, Ukrainian Soliders, Side Straddle Hops, Imperial Walkers.

    From there was a mosey to the football field for some 4 corners. 10 burpees, 20 merkins, 30 pole smokers, and 40 squats. Leaving the field we curb crawled our way to the hill by the parking lot. Bernie up the hill and crawl bear back down 10 times. Quick mosey to the cow pasture for an triple set; rifle carry a Cindy to the tree and sprint back or vice versa depending where the Cindy was dropped for the timer, LBC’s and American hammers. From here the WILD PAX went feral and chased the county truck out of the park. Another triple set because I’m extremely original. Jerkins/pull ups, dips, and timer was running to the electrical box near the basketball court. As I’m still learning this is when Elvis showed up, someone mentioned porta john tipping and it turned into a jackass episode. Needless to say payback will be coming in some undetermined form. At this point i realized I underestimated time and and went to improvising with the help of the PAX. A variety of picnic bench activities to one last mosey around the parking lot. a few Broad jumps BTTF. Ring of fire pushups into a mini broga sesh to finish up THE LONGEST BOOTCAMP YET.

    9 HIM’s

    Names and numbers

    Announcements and Prayers

    Holy water tomorrow come on out and bring a kettlebell or dumbbell if you can.

    Lots of events going on check Slack for the details

    Prayers for Big Rig’s family members health, prayers for Heist and Choo Choo in there safe travels, prayers for my M’s grandfather who is currently headed to VCU.

    Less than 2 months and 26 posts I can’t thank all of you enough for the inspiration, motivation and support that everyone has to offer. This group continues to push me and I am truly Thankful. A few days ago i read the story of Cardinal, an F3 brother who lost his life last year. His story was a little unsettling right before my VQ, but I wanted to bring honor to his story and legacy. Be Thankful for everyday and live life to the fullest.

  • Yeah… I’m not doing that

    3 HIMs made it out for the latest edition of the Bermuda Triangle. It was slightly less uncomfortable than it’s been the last few days but still 70 and sunny. Started out with a long mosey around the parking lot then back for a standard warmarama.

    Next for another long mosey to the field that for today will be known as the Coupon Cowpasture. We ran the perimeter of the field and it measured out to .22 miles.

    Next we went out behind the shed for the coupons.

    Let’s just say there were lots of triple checks including the following

    Murder Bunnies, Rifle carries, Farmer’s carries with 2 cindies, Thrusters, Leg raises w Cindy in Press, WW3s, Goblet Squats, skull crushers.

    We made it around the perimeter of the cowpasture to the pavilion. One exercise left to do, but there was a guy walking and Pool Boy decided to try and EH him(I think it was his first time) State Farm and I started doing Bear Crawl Pull thrus with the Cindies as Pool Boy made his move. It looked like Pool Boy was pointing at us to show the guy what we do and it looked like he said “Thats gonna be a hard No!” Needless to say, I don’t think he’ll be at Pool Boy’s VQ on Saturday.

    Anyway, proud of both of these guys. Both leaders, and both push me every time out. I was truly blessed to lead these guys today.

    Don’t forget about Pool Boy’s VQ on Saturday at The Iron Bridge (Goyne Park) at 7am. Come early for Goyne Hard 6am.

  • Exploring the Goyne

    4 brave Gents beat the heat to explore what the Goyne has to offer. No law enforcement had to be called for the random guy rifle carrying a sledge hanger through the neighborhood. Quick water break halfway through, then on to the plastic frisbee wanna be golf course. We made it back to the jungle gym for dips, pull ups, jerkins, and a quick mosey BTTF. 2.5 miles to start the morning off.

  • The Broadway Train

    The four man crew started with a quick warmup: side straddle hops, arm rotations, merkins, and WWII. The workout consisted of 20 Squats, bear crawl up hill, 20 merkins, 100m dash, 20 Carolina dry docks, crab walk down hill, 20 WWII, Berny sander 100m, indigenous run w/ shoulder taps, WWII, and squat’s repeat all 3X. Sets of dips, step ups, wide arm merkin, and elevated merkins.

  • Namesake Shenanigans

    5 gloom stallions assembled at Goyne Park for a guest Q of Bermuda Triangle, courtesy of the summer tour. With State Farm gushing about feeling some Wildcat love in his chesticles, here’s the latest and greatest brand new Q material from yours truly:

    COT:

    • Counterama # 5
    • Namerama
    • Announcerama (see Below)
    • YHC took the PAX out in Prayer

    NMS:  Absolutely LOVE this group of HIM’s – do any other F3RVA PAX push as hard as these guys? Tclaps to Pool Boy gettin AFTER it – with Big Rig and State Farm and Posh by his side there’s nothin this guy won’t be able to achieve! Was glad to bring some namesake shenanigans to Bermuda – the Beast was initially modified from being the Hard Way so other COP’s could happen, then modified again for time from the ending letter “A” standing for “All the Above” on the last round. Next up, the parkour hurdles were a group favorite, but while groiners feel easy at first, they get hard real quick. And finally, poor old Chester Challenge got the short end of the stick with only a brief review of the components without any of the variable movements and multiple rounds. State Farm’s chesticles were happy to have a break though. Thanks again for having me gents. Yours AYE! ~DTH

    Announcements (SEE SLACK!)

    • SCHOOL OF ROCK (kids’ bootcamp) this Sat, 8am Rockwood

    Warmups:

      • Side Stadlle Hops
      • Don Q’s
      • Helicopters
      • LBC’s

      To the newly discovered tennis courts for some at Goyne Park we started with ascending 4 corners 10,20,30,40 of Burpees, Merkins, LBC’s & Monkey Bumpers.

      Mosey’d to the open field by the flag where comes were set up for my signature at Bermuda… Yes “THE BEARMUDA TRIANGLE” ~3 markers ~3Oyds apart in shape of a
      triangle. Pax performs one burpee at first
      marker and bear crawls to 2nd marker, 2
      burpees and bear crawl to 3rd marker, 3
      burpees and bear crawl back to 1st marker.
      Rinse and Repeat x 3. Named Bearmuda
      Triangle as it has been known to
      mysteriously lose some pax along the way

      Attempted something new setting up cones in 4 corners for a relay race where partnered pax members raced to fill their opponents corner with 3 cones and the 1st to finish gets kudos! As always trying something new doesn’t work out as planned the 1st time around!

      Mosey’d over to the disc golf course to do an over & under Indian style for about 50 yards. Mosey on to another spot of the disc golf to circle up for some interchangeable LBC’s in cadence.

      Back to the flag for a merkin ring of fire, pax chose their own style of 10 merkins.

      COT: Namorama

      Anoucements: Meatball & Rudy are looking for a DJ for the Dad & Daughter dance if anyone knows one!
