First Watch has always been one of my favorite spots in Richmond, so when SOJ Takeover was proposed, it was my first choice. Excellent dudes and always a good time with plenty of banter and 2nd F after a beat down.  Five men answered the 5a call this morning. Here’s what went down: Mosey to Parking Lot Warm up — Parking Lot Few laps around the parking lot  Circle up Side Straddle hop — 20x Dead Man Hang — C/L/R On your six, Leg out L/R Roscoe’s mom L/R Pull leg to chest L/R Thing 1 — 11s @ Far…

5 tremendously talented individuals showed up for the inaugural Westham open. I was told the 5-hole tourney would be on ESPN the Ocho but no cameras or spectators were around.

7 men of leisure strolled forth for the latest edition of The First Watch. Conditions were 70 and sunny, albeit with a very small amount of rain and a handful of wet spots. According to the Teen Aged Female Yale Student (YHC apologizes to any actual Teen Aged Girls reading this) griping about getting even a little bit of water on his whittle clothes, the following 100% dry exercises might have happened. Hutton is on the DL, but posted anyway. Walked Alone for the workout. Clearly, he’s not a Liverpool fan. Good choice. Liverpool FC can suck it. Yeah, Mr.…

Senor Frog led our 8 man crew in a run-heavy Bootcamp. Last Call complained even though he should have been stretched from Broga. We ran to Walgreens at the corner of Ridge and Forest and completed various Ab exercises then ran around the building. Some said it was 3 miles. There was also conversation about Saab’s love interest of the youth, Esther Williams, but Pucker and YHC couldn’t remember her name. Announcements – WestHo lunch at Firehouse Subs at Innsbrook on May 14th and noon. Prayer Requests – Ronnie’s puppy passed away. It’s always tough for those who love their…

11 HIMs gathered at the earliest AO in the West End to see YHC had in store on a morning where the thermostat read: 64. This morning was full of numbers near and dear. More on that later.

Nothing shakes a handsnake like the haunting groans of jorts-sporting ruckers handling huge wood. But by the size of his own tent party it was clear Handshake enjoyed every second of this morning’s SOJ/GTE Ghost Flag takeover. A new record was set as 25 HIM’s descended on First Watch, startling a few locals out of their shavasana meditation and tackling the latest GrowRuck Training regimen, as follows: The THANG:  WARMERAMA: Mosey loop around the parking lot and circle up (more of a rectangle to fit the small space) Welcome & Disclaimer Variable IC Reps to get the muscles warm top…

Seven FW Regulars assembled in the FW parking lot wondering what YHC had in store. “Where are the blocks hidden?” “Why do we need headlamps if your ankle hurts, Kubota?” “Does your ankle really hurt?” “Why do you look like a fat Prince Harry?” 0500, let mosey! To the smallish, triangularish park for COP: DMH, DQ’s, Heli’s, Ukr. Soldier’s, Imp. Walkers, Merkins, Scorp. Kicks, Inv. Scorp.
