Eight regulars and one FNG showed up on a warm Saturday morning. It was 70°F at the start and sunny by the end—close enough to call it the elusive 70 and sunny, just not at the same time. After a warm-up, we hit the football field for a cumulative Beast. We started with Hand-Release Merkins and added a new exercise each round: LBCs, Jump Squats, Crab Cakes, Heels-to-Heavens, and finally, Burpees. Six rounds, six stops, six reps per stop. Beastly effort all around. Welcome to our FNG (Stirrup from now on)—glad to have you out there grinding with us. Great…

A dozen warriors came to Gridiron this morning for a Whitesnake beatdown. No theme, no games–just some hard work, listening too much to Lighthouse, Attila doing his best Napoleon Dynamite impression and lots of burpees. Started with some warmups in the new pickle ball lot including SSH, Ukrainian Soldiers, DQ, Helicopters, Hammers, LBCs, Copperhead Squats, Arm Circles, Merkins and other stuff I don’t remember. Perhaps some sic num-chuk skills. Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills. Moseyed to the track (which Mr. Rogers already ran around a couple times pre workout) and did a triple check where the timer…

We welcomed another member of the Pig Family (Pigskin, Chicarron, and Piglet)…Chicarron’s son, SPAM.

Instead of attending RVA’s own Monument Ave 10k today, we did a run-heavy beatdown.  After Fudd’s dog, Roscoe, made a beeline for my shovel flag and proceeded to piss on it, we were ready to begin.

Enough of that: Let’s roll! Line up on the saturated Gridiron. 25 MH on the 25 yard line, run back to the start. Repeat and add 50 Shoulder Taps on the 50 yard line, run back.  Repeat, add…
