Tag: Dogpile

19 Hard Chargers that werent afraid of the challenge at Dog Pile headed out into the gloom for a 70 and Sunny day. Here is how it went down, more or less.

The Thang –

3 Burpees, mosey to ha’penny stage to grab a coupon and disclaimer.

Circle of Pain – Side Straddle Hop x10, Don Quixote x10, LBC x20, Hand Release Release x10, [ Shiplap send off: Pickle Pounder x10, Alabama Prom Date x10, Georgia Prom Date x10 (one leg), Cobra Merkins x10, Monkey Humper x10, Gorilla Humper x10 ], Grass Angel, Aussy Grass Angel, Shoulder pinches x10, Thoracic extensions x10. Thats about enough of that.

Triple Check at Fire Hydrant- 3 pull ups Rusty Cage, Abyss Merkins, WW2 Block Presses.

Partner Mosey to Carillon and then far circle. One pax 25 ww2, running pax carries 2 blocks.

Spider crawls – Bear crawl to curb, spider merkin x3, repeat for all 8 positions

Mosey to Carillon field. Block throw then Bear crawl. 2 rounds: first round one Merkin; second round 5 WW2

Mosey to Ampitheater with block. 3 dips on the way down ; 1 incline merkin back up.

Clean up blocks and x country BTTF

YHC took us out. Prayer for patience and prayers for Shiplap nuptials, Florence MiL surgery, Schools (teachers, students, parents), Leadership during a strange time.

Naked Moleskine –

We are excited to welcome 2 FNGs, Huggy Bear (nee David), Billie Jean (nee Jordan)

IRL Huggy Bear is a legitimate business man running a high end resource placement firm, a match maker for hire that always gets his money. When you think of Huggy Bear, likely you first think of the role as played by Snoop, but the OG is awash with cool too.

During the spider crawl, YHC noticed Billie Jean sporting one glove – loaned by brother Winehouse who wore the other. The spider crawl takes some extra finesse to perform flawlessly & Billie Jean brings it.

Welcome gents.

Get Some!

After considering holding off even longer YHC decided to break down and post the backblast. I let Wilson know that if I heard from anyone about the delayed BB I would post it and leave their name off the PAX list, Big Data. I did not hear anything, although I’m sure one of the 24 other guys, or at least “Corporate” was itching to say something. Here is some poetry based on what we did.

Warmup then VITA

Captain Thors, we don’t do math

Bear crawls with a run

Partner and a block

Dora with bonus pullups

Block burpees are fun

Touch a tree for all

Special instructions needed

Kept moving all morning

Prayers for Shiplap from Louisville for the loss of his M during childbirth. Gypsy posted some info on slack about how to help the family.

Good luck to RVA Shiplap with his nuptials this coming weekend.

There may be a HH this Friday, Steam Bell? Check with Florence.

Labor Day Convergence – Gridiron 7am – Let Jville know if you’re coming so he can make breakfast for you

As always, it was a pleasure to lead you fine gentlemen for a few minutes of my day.

Seventeen strong braved the rain and fog and were pleased to find freshy cut grass across the AO, albeit not bagged.

COP: SSH, Russian Soldiers, Don Qs, Merkins, Arm Circles, LBCs, Scorpion Kicks. Mosey to end of street for:

Burpee Road: 2 Burpees at every light up & back. Then over to Carrillon field. Partner Up – Wheelbarrow across and back 2 times. Stay together for PLTs: 3 sets of 25 each.

Rusty Cage: 4 sets of – 6 Pull-ups & 10 Dips. Over to the bowl behind Amphitheater: 5 rounds of up & back with 10 upside down WWIIs and 15 Merkins on the side.

Amphitheater: 5 Box Jumps each step – all the way up. Finish with some time in the Honeymoon Suite to honor Wojo’s big day today.

Announcements: Hardywood’s Alpaca-palooza for today has been CANCELLED and will be rescheduled. Iron PAX will be Tuesday’s at all AOs except for Spider Run. So if you want soccer arms go to Spider Run, otherwise sign up for the next 4 Tuesday and particpate in the IronPAX challenge, see Boberry’s Pre-blast

NMS: A lot of sore pax from the 10k yesterday slowed or kept PAX out this am. Still 17 in the rain were ready to go, including Bone Thugs, aye! DTH double dipped, leaving at the Rusty Cage to go take the Q at Gridiron. Not sure that has been done before.

On the initial mosey Malpractice mentioned he had never attended a Honeydo Q before which doesn’t seem possible. Been a while since we did a Burpee road but the darkness at 6 is back.

The field for PLTs was good with all the newly cut grass as everyone was properly covered in grass clippings. At the Rusty Cage we were met with a Box Jump box at the bottom along with several huge boulders, like too big for Swirly to pick up….

Box Jumps seemed to take it out of everyone but spirits picked up when we earned our time in the Honeymoon Suite. YHC was hoping Wojo would post so he could have some last second practice.

Good times at ETs including at Circle K sighting.

38 of RVA’s finest and 2 visitors for F3 Hickory arrived on a humid Saturday morning to enjoy YHC second attempt at team rotation competition.

This how it went down

Slaughter Start – 10 Burpees OYO

Afterwards YHC called for a quick Numberama to get the group size and ask the PAX to split into 4 teams of about 6 to 7. (we started with 26 PAX)

Mosey to the stage with the coupon are kept

COP (Thanks Opus) – IKR, Crabcakes, Merkins, AST’s, Imperial Walkers

THANG

Coupon Beatdown Brewfast Comp

While Opus ran the COP, YHC took the team Captains behind the stage to give instructions on the locations of the stations and the exercises. Also gave out index cards in case they forgot the exercises.

Objective – Be the first team to complete all four stations with these simply rules: Must stay as a PAX an the Cinder Block Coupons (2 for each team), most go with them to each station

With that the PAX was off

Station #1 (Carillon Field) – With Coupons Run and Down the field 5 times completing 5 Merkins on each side

Station #2 (Triangle) – With the Coupons, Bear crawl first side, Run down the hill 2nd side, complete 25 WWII Sit-ups, Berine Sanders 3rd side

Station #3 (The Rusty Cage) – As a team completed the following: 100 Burp Ups, 100 Jerkins, 100 Dips

Station #4 (The Pipeline) – Triple Check (2 rounds only): Run the loop, LBC’s, Coupon Swings

When finished or at 6:55, return the stage, drop off the coupons and mosey back to the SF

Numberrama, Namerama, Announcements, Opus took us out

MOLESKIN

Success! YHC attempt this workout back in November which was a fail. This was due to YHC placing the cards at the locations, spreading out to far, and being to dark. YHC learned and modified this time with amazing results

Congrats to Team Bone Thugs on the win and hope you enjoy the beer.

YHC didn’t get to hear all the stories but it seemed overall everyone enjoy it.

T-Claps to YHC teammates Choppa who beast mood that Coupon and Bodo’s with the fastest coupon bear crawl ever!

NMS:

• Is there anything so entertaining as watching Hitchhiker gallop down the Carillon Field taunting those trying to keep up with him? What a GREAT time this morning fellas. YHC was surprised by the perpetual mumble chatter today despite the beatdown – must mean ya’ll miss each other so much you’d rather gab than breath. Appreciate the true grit shown by the PAX to push through the Slutty Cuatro – YHC nearly called an audible, but DAMN if I’m proud we didn’t. Pretty sure I heard someone ask if they were tasting sweat or blood… Thunderous T claps to Hitchhiker for the most 100’s “wins” (and style points with that goading), and also to Probation, Snuff, and Phonix for consistently pushing for a win, and to BoneThugs for a strong finishing win and brilliant last Ring of Fire set. Way to work brother! Big friendly welcome to Florence, transplant from Tallahassee F3. Meanwhile, a notable absence of Wilson today (and all his deep south crew), so I suppose the streak had to end at some point. Hilarious F2 at ET’s after – thx Upchuck for insisting YHC come out. As always, it’s an honor and joy to lead you guys – YHC is deeply grateful to have you gents as integral gears in the DTH success machine. (Don’t mumble that or it’ll sound weird…) SYITG!
