Tag: DaVille

16 North-Siders and 1 regular pax from inside city limits met in the gloom this morning to tackle a DaVille beatdown.  The weather was 70 and sunny, so no reason to stand around telling tales of the BRR, it aint going to workout itself!  We got some work done as follows:

Parking Lot Tracers

• run up a parking space line, karaoke to next line, backwards run down that line.  Continue to end of parking lot

COP

• SSH IC X25
• Don Quixote IC X20
• Copperhead Squats IC X20
• Arm Circles IC X10 little X5 big, Reverso
• Merkins IC X10
• Freddie Mercury IC X10

Thang

• Leg Throws X25, keep partner for next drill
• Love Angle:  First partner runs down past shrubery, around benches, then cuts left to volleyball net.  Return the way you came until you reach partner then switch.  Meanwhile partner covers ground doing exercises. Lunges, broad jump burpees, then inchworm merkins.  Keep swapping out exercizes and running until both team members meet at volleyball net.  Runners got to dodge randomly hidden obstacles, such as 20 foot long poles, support cables, and ditches.
• Curb Crawl Do-Si-Do:  Keeping same partner, line up in the middle of soccer field facing partner.  Q’s side bows to partner, opposite side curtsy.  Plank up, in cadence move to called direction as a pax, then perform 10 merkins IC (5 4-counts).  Cover all directions.
• 11’s:  Running the width of soccer field, 1 Freddy Mercury then 10 flutter kicks on opposite end.  Add 1 Freddy Mercury and subtract 1 flutter kick until flip-flopped to 10 FM and 1 FK.

Lockjaw has been telling YHC for weeks that he needed to get out to DaVille so that he could finally get to wear the DaVille T-shirt that he bought.  Imagine YHC’s surprise when he pulled in right behind the truck this morning and stepped out into the gloom.  He strategically picked this morning to skip his local Spider Run as Toga has the Q and will undoubtedly punish anybody recovering from BRR with a hilly loop since he had to miss out.  He is “Old Toga” these days.  Glad to have you out, brother!  Wear that shirt with pride now!

YHC is happy to see good numbers still posting since the start of school has flipped alot of schedules around (YHC’s included).  Hopefully those numbers will swell a bit more after this week’s ReeseStrong 5K as there is another Mechanicsville AO in the planning stages, courtesy of Abacus.  Monday Tomato run from Atlee high still firing off as well.

Typical of a Lab Rat Q, the mumblechatter was on the low side.  There was however some counting sound off battle going around, as DaVille regulars are still struggling on whether to count regular or repeat counting 1-9 only. YHC was having trouble holding it together listening to each version getting louder and louder trying to enforce their will on the other side.  Personally, Lab Rat hopes that this battle will drone on and on, as he finds it hilariously entertaining.

The pax worked hard this morning and crammed alot into the 45 minutes.  This group is definitely coming around.  YHC particularly noted the leaps that Spit has made over the last couple months.  Hard effort and continuous posting will pay off.  Well done, Spit!

It’s great to be back out at DaVille, love this group.

Announcements

• ReeseStrong 5K this Saturday.  Show up, wear your F3 gear if you have it, and bring a shovelflag if you have one.  If you cant run and want to come hang out, we will have a booth set up.  Kids are welcome and encouraged to come.
• F3 Richmond has gone from a Nomad to a Region.  The pax is standing by to see what the hell that means.

Lab Rat out

On the first day of school for the kids, 14 F3 RVA men made the decision to start the day with a beatdown that went something like this:

Mosey to center of Atlee parking lot to circle up for a quick F3 disclaimer and to run in place while the instructions from YHC were given.  (Instructions were that we would run in place instead of planking between exercises to honor BRR week, Reesestrong 5K and Patrick Henry Half marathon all occuring within a month.)

Mosey to BBALL courts for Doracides.  Partner up and complete as a team the following exercises : 100 merkins, 200 squats, 300 LBCs.  One partner performs exercises while other partner runs suicides.

Dell Brown-Crabwalk to the same lines used during suicides and perform 5 merkins at each line.  Proceed across BBALL court and repeato back across.

Mosey to soccer and circle up for a couple Minutes of Mary to catch breath.  Alabama Prom Dates x 20, American Hammers x 15.

Mosey to other side of soccer field for The Michigan.  100 yard dash x 10, 80 yard dash x 8, 60 yard dash x 6, 40 yard dash x 4, 20 yard dash x 2, 10 yard dash x 1 as a group.  YHC through some exercises in for the PAX to catch breath.  Freddie Mercuries x 15, Plank with right and left hand high, Flutterkicks x 20.

Circle up on soccer field for Merkin Ring of Fire, one PAX completes 10 merkins while the remainder of PAX holds plank until all PAX have completed 10 merkins.

Stay in Circle for Feet 6 inches off ground Ring of Fire.  Pax holds feet six inches off ground while on PAX runs around circle and touches everyone feet.  Repeat until all PAX have run around circle.

Mosey back to Shovel Flag for COT.

Numberama, Namerama, Thr Carpenter took us out with prayer.

Announcements- Charity run in October to benefit Shane Adcock (killed while serving USA in Iraq)  See Anchovie for details.

It’s BRR week and YHC wanted to honor the men who will represent F3 RVA at the 2016 edition.  Additionally, YHC remembered that some of the DaVille PAX just completed the Patrick Henry Half Marathon under brutally hot conditions and the Reesestrong 5K is the weekend after the BRR, which is organized by our F3 brother, Phonics.  (If you have not signed up yet, do so.  Enough said).  That is a lot of running within a months timeframe and YHC is impressed by the F3 RVA representation.  YHC also wanted one more workout with substantial running before the BRR.  Therefore, the PAX ran the entire 45 minutes beatdown, (unless we were performing exercises to catch our breath.)   The PAX attacked these instructions with impressive ease, even though there was not much mumblechatter due two reasons: 1. Nobody could catch there breath to speak, and 2. LabRat was absent. (Probably the main reason)

A couple of observations from this morning:

1.  The Carpenter’s crab walk is impressive.  Fast and good form.
2. Emoji has the hardest time finding a spot when we circle up, aimlessly wandering.
3. BB cruises through suicides.
4. F3 DaVille can run.
5. Performing exercises to catch your breath really does not allow you to catch your breath.

As The Carpenter was taking us out this morning, he mentioned that there was only one September 6, 2016 and he asked God to guide our day and make this the day where we strive to serve our fellow man, instead of expecting to be served. (Hence the title of BackBlast)  As I heard those words, I was even more ready to own this day and find a way I can be a servant in my community.  I challenge all of F3 to find a way to put yourself third and serve your fellow man, woman, or child each and every day.

Great work this morning gents.

DaVille had a great showing of brothers this morning, all ready to take on a steady stream of endurance challenges. It was great to see folks back from vacation and several posting after the Patrick Henry half marathon this past weekend. YHC is amazed at the tenacity and athleticism of this group. Welcome to FNG Stinger who showed heart and grit through the morning.

 

YHC’s goals for today were to cover a full-body work out and to take advantage of the various obstacles DaVille presents, such as playground equipment. YHC learned that lunges and broad jumps take their toll, and the bus loop is not exactly right next to the playground; alas, we did not get to all that YHC envisioned for this morning. Time on the playground always seems to go faster than you think. More for next time.

 

Announcements

The Tomato Run has officially started. This AO meets on Mondays at 5:30 AM in the same place as DaVille and offers a full range of running lengths for all levels.

 

Reese Strong 5K is coming up, Saturday, September 17th. You and your beloved are all encouraged to sign up for the F3 team. The website is http://www.reesestrong.org/reesestrong-5k/.

 

Gratefully,

What a great feeling morning in DaVille.  With temperatures in the 60s and the parking lot lights on, the atmosphere was perfect for 12 men to end the workout with a Tabata beatdown.  Here is what we did:

COP:

• SSH  x 15
• Don Quixote  x 15
• Arm Circles x10 little, x5 big, Reverso
• Merkins x10
• LBC x 20

The Thang

• Partner Suicides:  The first partner sprints to and from the first cone.  The second partner then does the same.  Each partner will run to and from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, then 3rd, 2nd and 1st cones.  Plank when complete.  Repeated with exception of counting down at the end.

• Mosey to the school

• 8 minute variety set:  10 Donkey Kicks followed by 10 Jumping Lunges.  Jog about 20 feet.  10 Hand to Elbow Merkins followed by 20 Mountain Climbers.  Bear Crawl to begin the circuit again with Donkey Kicks.  Do this for 8 total minutes.

  • Set 3 – Alternate – cycle of Burpies and a cycle of Friddie Mercuries.
• Mosey back to Shovel Flag

NMS

In planning for his VQ, YHC had two huge concerns.

1.  How dark it was the prior week because LabRat got lost while leading the PAX through the back of the campus.

2.  What are the F3 names for many of the exercises YHC plans to do?

Anticipating it being extremely dark on the Atlee campus, YHC arrived at 5 AM with cones and flashlights to set up the Suicide course.  What a pleasant surprise that the parking lot lights had been turned on by 5 AM throughout the campus.  This made YHC not worry too much about concern #2.

While determining the exercises for the 8 minute variety set, YHC remembered what LabRat had told him about Qing:  Do a few exercises that you are good at and a few that you suck at.  The two YHC sucks at were Donkey Kicks and Bear Crawls.  Those two exercises gave the appearance that 8 minutes seemed much longer as pointed out by Sticky.

Tabata was new to most of the PAX.  During the Merkin set, Circle K reminded YHC that people had to work that day.  YHC may have forgotten that detail since he was off.

It was a pleasure leading this great group of men this morning.

Announcements:

• ReeseStrong 5K is September 17.  F3 team is currently in 3rd place.  Great job.  F3 will set up a tent.  For questions, see LabRat or Phonics.  The website is http://www.reesestrong.org/reesestrong-5k/.
• DaVille now has a Facebook Messenger group with F3 nicknames.  This is a good way those who workout at DaVille to communicate with each other.
• A run is going to be added on Mondays.  We will meet up at Atlee High School.  LabRat will set this up.
• Saturday at Dogpile, wear a flannel shirt.  It is the 25th anniversary of Smells Like Teen Spirit.
• For those that have yet to sign up to F3, we have a much simpler process now. Text F3RVA to 97000, process takes about a minute. That’s it! This will put you in the database, which will allow you to contribute to back blasts. Also, we will have emergency contact info in case something happens at a workout.

Spike took us out.

18 men took various modes of transportation this morning, but all arrived at the Shovelflag for DaVille.  Lab Rat took the Q, and we all embraced The Gloom that has been creeping it’s way back in to our workouts.  With Opus’ green light to guide our way, here is what got done:

COP (all IC)

• SSH X25
• Ball Dippers X20
• Arm Circles X10 little, X5 big, Reverso
• Full Release Merkins X15
• Dying Cockroach X20

THANG

• Stations:  Break up in to 5 small groups.  Each group starts at given station and performs exercises appropriate for that station as they see fit until runner group relieves them, then group moves on to next station.  Rinse and repeat until Q says stop.
  • Merkinville:  Exercises included merkins of various types, muscle ups, dips
  • Pull up bars:  pull ups, chin ups, hang-theres
  • Legsington (get it?):  step ups, jump ups, donkey kicks, lunges
  • The interstate:  Big-ass tire flips
  • Runners:  from station to station around track
• Human Steeplechase:  Two groups, first man planks heading across field.  Second man jumps over first then planks.  Leap frog to the end of grass.  Repeato, only going under instead of over second time across.

NMS

The Gloom has definitely taken hold of the workouts lately, which the Q was ill-prepared for.  He took an odd route across the back of the schools, introducing the pax to various dangers which included (but were not limited to) hidden farm equipment, trailer tongues, and a ditch full of pirhanas (maybe)!  Luckily, Opus brought a green light.  YHC doesnt know how much it helped visibility, but he did enjoy saying “red light, green light” whenever in the presence of said light.  (Shiny objects on strings will also have the same effect.)  Also, Grabber brought a flashlight, which for some reason remained in his pocket and had bells on it.

YHC was thinking about what to do this morning, and how to incorporate 2 things that had been under-utilized lately at DaVille:  the tires and pull ups.  The plan was to break up the large pax into smaller groups so that there werent huge lines of guys standing around waiting to do something.  From YHC’s perspective, it seemed to go really well, as Lab Rat got to chat with Weiner a bit, a pax member he did not know.  Hopefully the other groups had similar 2nd F opportunities.

The infield was recently cut, and LabRat just could not resist the temptation of rolling around in the prettty grass just once, even though it would mean no Mary and we would run a couple minutes over.  Had to be done.  He was immediately rewarded by being the sucker that planked in the puddle, and having half the pax stomp water in his face.  He thinks it was on purpose.

Also, since YHC has built up a reputation as a talker, he would like to give honorable mention to Phonics, who is becoming quite the social butterfly himself.  Big difference though, is Phonics is just a much nicer guy than YHC, and the pax has not heard him sing in the middle of a workout (yet).  Well done, Phonics!

YHC hopes that everyone enjoyed themselves this morning, and he thanks the pax for coming out and supporting “Play Time with Lab Rat”, because he had a ball this morning….sore legs and all.   It’s a pleasure to have the opportunity to lead such a fine group of men.

14 DaVille regulars, 3 southside visitors and 1 FNG swallowed the #DRP and posted on a cool, dark morning in DaVille for a Guest Q.  YHC has been wanting to make a trip to DaVille since it started knowing Lab Rat and Circle K would frequent the Southside before starting up DaVille.  What better way to get myself out there than to sign up for the Q.  After a little AO description from Lab Rat we were off.

THANG:

NMS:

Great to be in DaVille this morning.  YHC had met a few of the guys at Dogpile but the regulars have done a great job EHing and building a strong foundation out there.

Helga is a creation of YHC, born of the current Olympic fever in my house and a conversation over this past weekend regarding the current Russian doping questions and remembering the East Germans of the 80s.  The quantities seemed daunting at first but the PAX teamed up in true F3 and Olympic form and blew through the exercises.  Sticky and DK led YHC’s team coming up with an impressive plan of attack to knock out each of the exercises quickly.  The other teams seemed to have a solid plan and all finished close together.  YHC apologizes for introducing another lady to the F3 PAX, with a name like Rosie, I feel closer to them.

The bear crawl option for triple check was met with great enthusiasm, by that I mean groans of displeasure.  Grabber was seen flying through the bear crawls almost as fast as he ran into and out of the AO this morning, taking a page out of the Sippy Cup handbook.

In true Lab Rat form we got the story of Genny Lite/Pickle Barrel over the course of the entire Triple Check.  I think he paused during the bear crawls but I can’t be sure.  The Southside clown car compared notes on the way home and put the full story together, basically coming to the conclusion that between Lab Rat and Wilson, TYA got tired of the arguing and flipped a coin under the table to decide.

Welcome to Kitty Cat (missed the hospital name), EHed by the Rutland crew.  The DaVille PAX continues to be brutal with the naming but the consensus was Kitty Cat so YHC went with the crowd.

Great job this morning men.

20 F3 Faithful and 3 FNG (23 is a new DaVille record) showed up in the foggy gloom for a beatdown that went something like this:

Mosey to area behind parking lot for COP.

Invisible Jump Ropex50 IC, LBCx45 IC, Invisible Jump Ropex40 IC, Flutter Kickx35 IC, SSHx30 IC, Freddie Mercuryx25 IC

Mosey back to far side of parking lot.  Q selects PAX member to lead the PAX to any parking spot and Q randomly uses numbers and words of parking space to assign exercise.  Exercises performed:

Grabber 64 WWII situps, Emoji 15 Burpees, BB 75 squats, Abacus run to van 40 yards away ten times, Sticky 20 merkins, something else?

Mosey to side of parking lot for descending curb crawls.  Bear crawls from island to main sidewalk and perform 8 incline merkins, bear crawl back to island and perform 7 incline merkins.  Repeato until down to 1 incline merkin.

Mosey to front of parking lot.  Partner up.  One PAX runs across parking lot while partner performs exercise.  Exercises performed: merkins, alabama prom dates, mountain climbers.  Repeato x 3. Audibled to x2 based on time.

COT-Abacus took us out with prayer.  Well said brother.

Announcements

Convergence this Saturday, 7am Dogpile, Grow School to follow at ETs

2nd F this Friday at The Answer

Reesestrong Race in September.  See Phonics (F3 brother who is organizing race) or LabRat.

YHC had two objectives with todays workout.  1:Not to leave the parking lot 2:Bring the pain as YHC ate all the wrong foods and drink all the wrong drink while at the river for a long weekend. Mission Accomplished.  The PAX only left the parking lot for the initial COP, as YHC had plenty of abs planned and YHC wanted to save the skin on the backside of the PAX members.  Upon returning to the parking lot, randomly using the numbers and letters of the parking lot spaces proved to illicit much mumblechatter from the PAX and YHC knew the plan was working.  Surprisingly, during the 75 squats, not a word was said by the PAX.  I guess everyone was concentrating on proper form or nobody could believe YHC really said 75 squats after BB brought us all the way across the parking lot for the third time.  The PAX really crushed the descending curb crawls.  Way to work men.  The PAX also finished strong with the partner exercises and YHC witnessed much encouragement form the entire PAX.  F# is all about each member of the PAX pushing other members (IRON SHARPENS IRON) to accomplish an objective that you would not accomplish by yourself.  This was clearly evident as we concluded this morning’s beatdown.  YHC definitely needed all the encouragement I could get.

Welcome to Bobba-Bouy (talk to Sticky about the name), Clapper and Chippy.  Looking forward to future beatdowns with each of you.

Privilege to step out front and lead a great group of men.

Circle K

15 men stormed into the Atlee High School parking lot in the 83 degree heat at 5:30 AM. The GLOOM was hot and humid for sure! The theme for the workout was “Road to the White House.” This road is a race with many stops, bumps and turns along the way. You have to compete to win and victory requires vigilance. In this workout, the fight was against yourself.

THANG

COP

Mosey over to the basketball court. Lab Rat poked fun at The Carpenter due to his first Q and that prompted The Carpenter to turn up the heat on the workout.

101 SSH (as opposed to the original plan of 50), 15 Merkins, 20 Don Quixotes, 15 arm circles

Mosey to the main road.

Campaign this!

Run the campaign by going from stop to stop on the campaign trail. The trail is from the edge of the parking lot to the far gate. Run and stop at every light (15 lights total) along the way to do 5 merkins. Celebrate at the gate with 20 burpees and then plank up to wait. Run the campaign back by running and stopping at every light (15 lights total) to do either 5 incline merkins or 5 decline merkins. Finish at the starting point by doing 50 LBCs and plank up.

Mosey over to the bus loop.

Finish with the COT. The Carpenter took us out (“There is only one July 26th, 2016. Today is a gift that only comes once. May we go out and be all that God has called us to be with His strength”).

MOLESKIN:

Happy Birthday to Lab Rat’s son.

This was the first Q for The Carpenter and he came with a election year theme. The men did not declare party affiliation. They put their energy into the workout instead.

6 men rolled into the parking lot in a van together. Others showed up on their bikes or cars. The rally cry was issued as everyone came together. The COP seemingly started like a normal DaVille start. Lab Rat issued some commentary on The Carpenter’s talking and that triggered some competition. It had been reported that a workout in Florence, SC featured 100 SSHs. The Carpenter decided to beat that number by 1 and led 101 SSHs as a start. The chatter grew as the PAX ran over to the road.

The PAX engaged in a strong run with merkins. Psycho arrived late and ran to the back of the high school to find everyone. He could have turned around and went home but persevered to find the crew. Lab Rat continued to talk all along the way. He must have enjoyed not Q’ing the morning. As always, Abacus brought enthusiasm and the heat. Once again, Furball and Loogie did fought through the workout and pushed through.

The team cranked through the heat and humidity for a solid workout. They all achieved a swim workout through the humidity along with the workout.

We continue to pray for Emoji’s wife as she undergoes chemotherapy. In addition, the team is looking to make a strong presence at the Reese Strong 5K on Saturday, September 17th (http://www.reesestrong.org/reesestrong-5k/).

The Carpenter Out!

17 faithful to DaVille, 1 stand-in for Lockjaw, plus 2 FNG’s showed up this morning to make it a great showing for a foggy start to the day.  There was a shovelflag.  To horribly quote Marvin Gaye, “let’s get it on”…

COP (all IC)

• SSH X30
• Ball Dippers X20
• Don Quixote X20
• Arm Circles X10 little X5 big, Reverso
• Merkin X10

Pole Smoker Indian Run

• Grab some wood, first pax member does 10 pole smokers, the pax holds 6 inches.  Run to next pole down.  One time thru was plenty with 19 pax.

Ultimate Frisbee F3 Style

• Divide into teams by doing partner leg throws.  First on the ground was skins, second on the ground, shirts.
• Every time frisbee touches the ground, pax does called out exercise
• Upon on interception, throwing team does called exercise
• Upon touchdown/homerun/goal/unit/point, defense sprints down field

1 MOM

• American Hammer IC

Numberama/Namorama/BOM

NMS

So, YHC was talking with Lockjaw about how great of a “beatdown” the last Ultimate Frisbee at MM was and said we should do it more often.  YHC committed to calling same workout at DaVille, since he had the Q.  Lockjaw couldnt make it up, but instead sent Toga up to monitor DaVille operations.  Ultimate was still going down, as soon as the gloom lifted enough to see.  While waiting for the sun to burn off enough fog to be able to see, the pax got busy with some warmups and a little Pole Smoker Indian runs.  20 guys is too many for that though….one time thru was plenty of 6 inch holds to go around.

As soon as Ultimate started going, the pax had to be reigned in a bit, because the competitive juices were flowing.  Momentum had to be stopped during drops to perform called out excersizes, which took a couple turns to grasp.  After that, it looked like this was going to be another drop-fest like the Mary Munford pax demonstrated last week.  However, both teams shook off the cobwebs and looked like they knew what they were doing.  The shirts held off a skins rally towards the end to pull off the 3-2 victory.  Since YHC was on the losing side (again), everybody got to do 10 burpees to celebrate.

DaVille picked back up the F3 expansion today with a pair of triple-hates:  Welcome FNG’s Daisy Duke and Flea!  Daisy Duke tried to push the fact that he is a runner upon the pax, but his skimpy shorts were too much to overlook….I mean, he wasn’t going to get “Usaine Bolt” anyways.  Flea was named for being a bass guitar player and the pax pulling up lame after a good go at naming Daisy.  Still a solid name though, there just wasnt much variety.  Both these young men are off to college in the fall, but YHC hopes that they will continue to post into the summer and visit us on breaks.

YHC also hopes that all skins think of Lab Rat as you stop at every jutting corner of your respective offices to scratch that itchy back today!  Mrs. Lab Rat kicked YHC out of the house this morning to shower under the hose before entering!  Here’s scratching at you, kids….
