  • +1 Mariner – 1 Earthworm = Intervals

    YHC was fired up for Gridiron.  School is out; sports are done.  That means my 2.0 was ready to join, and he had a huge smile on his face.  I cannot think of a better way to start Fathers’ Day weekend.  Here is how it went down.

    • Warm-up
      • 25 SSH
      • 20 Russian soldiers
      • 10 merkins
      • 20 DQ
    • Burpee march
      • 15 burpees down the parking lot followed by:
        • 10 double count LBC
        • 25 double count APD
        • 20 single count WWII sit-ups
      • Repeat for a total of 5 cycles
    • Mosey over to the Pavilion…25 dips, 25 one leg step-ups (right leg), 25 dips, 25 one leg step-ups (left leg), 25 dips and for mountain climbers for those that waited for the rest of the PAX to finish
    • Mosey to the track for 10 minutes of intervals – 20 sec sprint (which proved challenging for some, including YHC) followed by 40 second mosey
    • Mosey to the front of the school for triple check – bear crawl, leg lifts and wall sit
    • Close out with ring of fire (10 merkins)
    • Mosey back to the parking lot for COT
    • COT – YHC took us, giving thanks for our able bodies and some great fellowship

    Today was an Attila special, a sampling of muscle groups, with the hope that men were pushed and strengthened.

    It was odd to have 3 2.0’s at Gridiron, and none of them were sired by Johnsonville.  White Deer brought Hoops and his buddy FNG Cletus.  Hoops remarked that he is more of Circus Maximus fella about 1/2 way through his first bootcamp-style workout, but he was also quick to throw some one-liners at his father.  With that, you are always welcome to join us.

    I was grateful to have my eldest 2.0, Mariner, present.  With Earthworm MIA (something about a wedding and needing his beauty sleep), ground & pound got trashed.  Mariner is fleet of foot, and it was fun to provide him an opportunity to excel amongst the Gridiron PAX.

    As always, Chum Bucket was a quiet, but strong warrior.  Johnsonville was not far behind, but perhaps not as quiet.  Both elevate the rest of us, and I am grateful for their consistency at Gridiron.

    APB continues for Nightcrawler.  YHC might smuggle a duck from the Wellsley pond over to Gridiron to lure our resident Elmer Fudd back.

    Enjoy a sports-free weekend, and Happy Fathers’ Day to all those in the PAX being celebrated.  Here is hoping your 2.0’s are not as scarred as White Deer’s.

    MOLESKIN

    YHC had never been to GridIron so this was going to be a blind Q, but he was up for the challenge during takeover week! The DaVille clown car showed up 30 minutes early to give YHC time to scout out the AO. Some EHing was had by MudFace for a group that seem to be a F3 knockoff.

    The rest of the PAX arrived shortly after and we got to work. The PAX didn’t seem a big fan of the Parking lot tracers (sorrry LabRat I tried).

    YHC was introduced to White Deer today and his trash talking. He decided to challenge YHC throughout the workout starting with bear crawl challenge. Even with a 3 second held start, YHC still smoked him. Sorry that’s why I get the hate!!

    YHC would like to thank the GridIron regulars for the warm welcome today. The F3RVA brotherhood was is in full force today!

    Welcome to McFly. You killed it!!

  • GridIron Welcomes Seven 2.0’s

    A PAX of 20 assembled on a beautiful June morning where it all began for F3 RVA. Döner Kebab came in hot with less than 90s to spare, both 2.0’s in tow…and the beat down went something like this:

    THANG

    Mosey to the GridIron
    COP: SSH, DQs, Copper Head Squats, Russian Soldiers, Merkins, Crunch Frogs, LBCs, Crab Cakes, Bob & Weave’s

    Line up on Sideline for Sharks & Minnows
    4 Sharks must crab walk, and minnows must bear crawl. Minnows try to get past Sharks. If tagged, Minnows become Sharks immediately.
    4 rounds before all minnows caught.

    Mosey to track
    PAX chooses: 1 easy lap OR lunge across field and back

    Line up on Sideline for Modified Arc Loader
    Duck Walk, Bear Crawl, Crawl Bear, Forward Crab Walk, Backwards Run, Polar Bears, Flamingos (each foot), Karayoke (each direction), Imperial Squat Walkers

    Mosey to front of school, partner in 3s for Triple Check: People’s Chair, LBCs, Run to hydrant and back

    10 Donkey Kicks OYO

    Mosey to bus loop for 6 inches Indian Run: take a pole, 2 by 2, perform any pole exercise until it’s your turn to advance poles. Audible called because that bus loop never ends.

    Mosey across street to inclined field for 10 Burpees OYO

    Mosey back to GridIron for another round of Sharks & Minnows. Again, it went 4 rounds, but there was a single winner: Veep!

    Mosey back to VSF for 90s of Mary: American Hammers & Hello Dollies

    COT: Earthworm took us out.

    Naked Moleskin

    Welcome Mr. Right & Van Gogh!

    Great turnout for a 2.0 workout. YHC was not expecting to lead as many as 20! Thanks to everyone for coming out. Thanks also to the GridIron regulars for allowing a 2.0 takeover. YHC is a single dad for a few days while his M enjoys the OBX on a ladies’ trip…and he knew that signing up to Q would guarantee F3 participation.

    The FNGs were not phased by getting wet from the dew right away.

    Sharks and Minnows was a hit. It’s similar to the Pac-Man game played at NoToll, but possibly more effective.

    The Chicken Whisperer’s request to perform the “Panda” during the Arc Loader fell on deaf ears after he demonstrated the Panda which looked like a military crawl without using legs. However, during the COT, CDubs suggested “Van Gogh” immediately after hearing Viral’s 2.0 likes Art…and the name stuck.

    Marv almost made YHC lose his focus when he asked if YHC knows what Hello Dolly means as his legs were spread wide. Good times.

    Thanks for letting YHC lead this morning.

    Great Coffeeteria at Einstein’s afterwards with Cecil performing card tricks for the 2.0’s!

    Announcements:

    VQ Week – June 26
    Fudd’s part June 10 – please RSVP in Pre Blast

  • PreBlast – 2.0 Friendly Workout @ GridIron this weekend

    YHC is a single dad this weekend but doesn’t want that to keep him from posting to a workout…so why not Q a 2.0 Friendly workout? YHC is bringing both of his 2.0’s, so he could use a backup Q in case The Chicken Whisperer or Flying Squirrel can’t hang. Any takers?

    Looking forward to it!

  • No EW/WD, Let’s Call an Audible

    The rain has stopped, and the weather was perfect.  Seven strong redwoods posted for a Memorial Day weekend Gridiron.  Here is how it went down:

    • Warm-up
      • 25 SSH
      • 10 merkins
      • 20 Freddy Mercuries
      • 20 Russian soldiers
      • 20 helicopters
    • Burpee march
      • 15 burpees down the parking lot followed by:
        • 20 WWII sit-ups
        • 25 APD
        • 20 LBC
      • Repeat for a total of 5 cycles
    • Mosey over to the Pavilion…25 dips, 25 one leg step-ups (right leg), 25 dips, 25 one leg step-ups (left leg), 25 dips
    • 25 PLTs – rinse and repeat
    • Mosey to the track/field and line up in the end zone for an Indian crawl on the field:
      • PAX forms a line and the group performs an exercise while the man in the back bear crawls to the front of the group.  The exercise is switched once each man has bear crawled to the front, similar to an Indian run)
      • Exercises were deep squats, Carolina dry docks, hillbillies, planks, flutter kicks
    • Mosey to the track
      • Run 200m
      • Karaoke 200m
      • Run 200m
      • Mosey 200m
      • Backwards run to end zone (100m)
      • Burn-out 100 yard dash
    • Mosey to the parking lot with COT
      • Announcements:
        • Convergence on Monday at Belle Isle (6:30)
        • West End lunch now on Friday’s at Jason’s Deli
      • YHC took us out with a prayer of Thanksgiving

    Moleskin – YHC called an audible on the workout today when he realized Earthworm and White Deer were MIA.  Neither likes a good run (WD has a legitimate excuse with a replaced knee), so YHC took advantage of their absence by adding a little field work at the end.  EW/WD, you were missed, but today was not your day.  Things we did not do – one-handed snatches, boat/canoe, KB EMON’s…thing we did do – run.

    Welcome back Nightcrawler!  Johnsonville and White Deer’s Facetime intervention was  successful.  Although, Gridiron is not a day on the links, and Nightcrawler did not appear to come dressed for a beat down.  Did the golf shirt give that away?

    My second welcome back goes to Loose Goose.   The man who introduced me to F3 missed his alarm for Dogpile, so he got back to his roots with Gridiron.  Do not be a stranger Loose Goose.  It was great to have you.

    Mumble chatter was non-existent today.  The usual suspect (White Deer) was absent, and his replacements were Johnsonville, Cheetah, Chum Bucket and Flip Phone.  Those men are just quiet assassins.  They went about their business of just making my red pill look like a sugar pill.  Well done men!

    Enjoy your long weekend!  Hopefully we burned a few calories in order to make space for some stellar BBQ this weekend.  You’re welcome!

    COT: Numberama and Counterama and Takeout Prayer by Cecil. Refreshment (fellowship) at Einsteins.

    MoleSkin: No blood, but plenty of sweat was deposited at the Grassy Noll.

    Somehow the PLTs seem easier with a Portuguese count – thanks to DarkHorse who the PAX welcomed back from his home by the Fountain of Youth. He arrived in RVA at nearly midnight but scoffed at Cecil’s offer to sleep in. Now having no choice but to post, Cecil celebrated being on the cusp of GrandFatherhood by behaving beastly on the Four Corners. Blessings to and TClaps for DarkHorse, MDarkHorse, Cecil, MCecil and Sully.

    The other guys – each with his unique KB panache – pushed through a second KB workout in 49 hours. FlipPhone, in particular, threw weight around this morning with laudable efficiency – strong work. MumbleChatter quickly yielded to the quiet of heaving breathing punctuated by the all too familiar cacophony of disturbing emissions from WhiteDeer and Attila. Johnsonville was very quiet – angry, hurt/injured, both?

    Following his strong VQ at Circus Maximus, ChumBucket informed the PAX that he would be absent from the GridIron; not so NightCrawler to whom WhiteDeer and Johnsonville called via FaceTime to learn that NightCrawler and MNighCrawler were driving north on I95 for a day at the Preakness. Not properly attired for Burpees at the Rest Area, NightCrawler promised to perform The Black-Eyed Susan curl AMRAP at Pimlico, and MNightCrawler wisely agreed to be the SouthBound DesiginatedDriver.

    Two of YHC’s nephews were commissioned as 2LTs over the last two weeks, the most recent yesterday at UVA. Both ceremonies were joyous and sobering. Welcome are prayers that my nephews will be blessed with the spirit of courage, strength, and determination. And, of course, please pray for God’s watch care over all the young men and women heeding their call to duty in our Armed Forces.

    Matthew 14:27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”.

  • You vs. You & You vs. the Gloom

    If there was ever a morning to say see you in the gloom, this was it.  A faithful and loyal PAX assembled, and here is how it went down:

    • Warm-up
      • 25 SSH
      • 10 merkins
      • 20 Russian soldiers
      • 20 helicopters
      • 20 DQ
    • Mosey to the cover of the Pavilion…25 dips, 25 one leg step-ups (right leg), 25 dips, 25 one leg step-ups (left leg), 25 dips…PAX does Al Gores waiting for everyone to complete
    • Partner-up for the journey to the Pillars of Pain – 1 man does a double KB farmers carry while his partner does 15 monkey humpers and then karaokes to catch-up, trade-off, and rinse and repeat until we reach the Pillars
    • Deck of Death with burpee marches mixed in
      • Exercises for the deck of death – merkins, crab cakes, WWII sit-ups and deep squats (all in cadence)
      • Stopped the deck 3x to do a burpee march to another station in the Pillars – performed a burpee at each concrete block until progressed 13-15 blocks down, finally reaching the other end of the pillars
    • Mosey back to the KBs at the front of the Pillars
      • 10 lawnmower pulls with each arm
      • 15 standing rows
      • 25 Alabama honeymoons
      • 10 halos each direction
    • Finished up with 25 pole smokers

    COT at the Pillars with YHC taking us out, giving thanks for the PAX and the comradery and fellowship we are blessed with.

    Moleskin – There was one thing that was obvious today…White Deer found the conditions quite “nipply,” and we all knew it.  I guess you could say he was excited to be there today, and Farrah Fawcett would be proud (reference for the over 40 portion of the PAX).  While uncomfortable for some, White Deer was unabashed (no surprises there).  Thankfully for him, no one recommended a manzere for future workouts.  Thankfully for us, no small children were present for which we had to explain this visual.

    I say it often, but Chum Bucket is a beast.  He sets a pace, and keeps it upbeat for the entire PAX.  It is a privilege to have him with us.  He is always encouraging the PAX, which does not go unnoticed.  Cecil, Johnsonville and Earthworm each were dealing with some form of injury.  YHC was grateful for them being there and battling through.  Major t-claps earned.  It is not the same without these men.

    Rumor has it that Flip Phone was “warm and cozy” in his fartsack…so weak.  Nightcrawler’s whereabouts remain a mystery.  We will be waiting for you when the PAX reassembles.

    The PAX went to Einstein’s for additional fellowship afterwards.  With all games being rained out and fewer obligations to attend to, everyone felt the freedom to stick around for a while.  No truth to the rumor that Cecil was hoping to stay there all day and avoid the estrogen onslaught that would be invading his house for a shower later that day.  It was a true blessing to have this time of fellowship with these men.

  • Going to Make Sure Sunday is a Day of Rest

    White Deer and YHC tag-teamed Q’ed this edition of Gridiron, with YHC kicking it off.  Here it how it went down:

    • Warm-up
      • 25 SSH
      • 20 Russian soldiers
      • 8 8 count bodybuilders (pan PAX count)
      • 10 merkins
      • 20 APD
      • 20 Freddy Mercuries
      • 20 DQ
    • Mosey to the Pavillion – 25 dips, 25 one leg step-ups (right leg), 25 dips, 25 one leg step-ups (left leg), 25 dips…PAX does WWII sit-ups waiting for everyone to complete
    • Mosey to the football field for four corners (using 1/2 the field)
      • Partner-up and wheel barrow to each corner with 10 deep squats at each stop
      • Karaoke run to each corner with 10 merkins at each stop
      • Bear crawl and Crawl bears to each corner with 10 WWII sit-ups at each stop
      • Backwards run to each corner with 10 monkey humpers at each stop
    • Mosey to the parking lot for KB flurry led by White Deer
      • Bear crawl to KB in middle of parking lot
      • 15 two handed swings
      • 10 merkin rows
      • 20 presses
      • 10 lawnmower pulls with each arm
      • 10 halos clockwise and 10 counterclockwise
      • 10 around the worlds clockwise and 10 counterclockwise
      • 10 figure eights each direction
      • 10 one-handed swings with each arm
      • 20 sit-up presses
      • Boat/canoe/paddleboat
      • 15 standing rows
      • 25 Alabama honeymoons
      • 10 tricep curls while laying on your 6
    • Parking lot sprints to end

    COT with YHC taking us out with a prayer of  thanksgiving, grateful for the able bodies to work-out and the fellowship of the PAX

    Moleskin – Note to self, do not include an exercise unless you are sure you remember all of its components.  YHC completely butchered the 8 count body builders.  It had been a while, and it was brutal to see.  Earthworm would be shaking his head in bewilderment.

    Chum Bucket was a beast on the four corners.  The man is a human wheel barrow with epic strength.  I have nothing but admiration for his efforts.  If only I had that type of strength.  I was impressed to say the least.

    Good to see Cheetah out again.  He is becoming a regular, which is welcomed.  Johnsonville continues to work hard despite a healing knee.  Great teamwork from the father and son on the wheelbarrows.  Big t-claps!

    Welcome back Cecil!  We knew you were coming back after a few weeks away, so we amped up the  workout just for you.

    Finally, YHC confirmed how to silence the mumble chatter from White Deer…all it takes is a few red pills.  White Deer was ready to take the Q over after 4 iterations of four corners.  YHC had more, but he had had enough.

    A few of the PAX did go get bagels at Einstein’s for some fellowship afterwards.  It was a blessing to be with the GridIron PAX as iron sharpens iron.  Thanks for letting YHC lead.

  • No Boat, No Canoe, Just a Crusty Ole Boot

    Seven strong and faithful redwoods comprised the PAX on another glorious Saturday morning.  After weeks of having a mixture of boot camp and KB workouts, we got back to basics with a good ole fashioned boot camp beatdown.  Here is how it went down:

    • Warm-up
      • 25 SSH
      • 20 invisible jump rope
      • 20 Russian soldiers
      • 10 merkins
      • 20 crab cakes
      • 20 LBC
      • 25 APD
      • 20 American hammers
    • Mosey to the practice fields for 10 minutes of burpees
    • 20 PLTs x2
    • Mosey to football field for a Lindsay consisting of dips and Freddy Mercuries
      • 30 dips, cross the field, 10 FM
      • 25 dips, cross the field, 15 FM
      • 20 dips, cross the field, 20 FM
      • 15 dips, cross the field, 25 FM
      • 10 dips, cross the field, 30 FM
      • J-ville led planks while the PAX finished
    • Combo crawl bear/bear crawl across the field
    • Mosey over to the school for a triple check
      • Run the circle
      • Copperhead squats
      • Wall sits
    • Mosey to the picnic tables
      • 25 dips
      • 25 one-leg step-ups (right)
      • 25 dips
      • 25 one-leg step-ups (left)
      • 25 dips

    COT with YHC sending us out with a word of Thanksgiving for our wives (MAttila is celebrating her birthday today) and thankfulness for the able bodies to be together.  Hopefully J-ville’s knee will continue to heal.

    Moleskin – A reminder to the West End faithful that the new AO, Heartbreak Ridge, is open for business on Tuesday mornings at 0530.  Please join…looking at you Earthworm.  It is a great AO.

    The day started with a lot of mumble chatter from the entire PAX.  The warm-up circle was feeding off of White Deer’s propensity to start a workout with lots of banter.  The level of mumble chatter diminished as the number of burpees rose.

    As always, it was great be amongst this loyal PAX.  J-ville was strong despite a healing knee.  He humbles me with his ability to lead the PAX even when he is hobbled.  Cheetah, J-ville’s 2.0, was strong today.  The fartsack could not hold him captive this morning, which had to make J-ville proud.

    Chum Bucket was his usual picture of quiet strength as evidenced by the fact that he is never a target of White Deer’s banter.  I always love the way he pushes us.  Nightcrawler continues to push himself.  J-ville quickly reminded us that he is going to rounding into prime shape soon with flying foul season in the rearview mirror.

    As always, it was great to have the fellowship of these men.  We pushed ourselves today, and as I reminded the group, if they hated YHC during Gridiron today, well that makes two of us.  Iron sharpening iron is something to give thanks for.  Expect to have White Deer bring some KB action back to Gridiron for some portion of next week’s workout.

    Enjoy your weekend men.

    COT: Numberama and Counterama and Takeout Prayer by YHC expressing gratitude for the blessings we enjoy. Einstein’s for 50% of the PAX.

    MoleSkin: He who is named for a melanin pigment deficient ruminant mammal believes he is entitled to know the number of reps before the 8-count exercises – not sure that info was either well-received or faithfully executed by the PAX for reasons ranging from injury to stiffness. In any event, the PAX ruled that the chronic requests for this intel showed poor form. On a lighter note, participation ribbons were earned by all on the KB toss. Frankly, the competition was even less impressive than the thud of the KBs landing at the end of their (short) flight in the soft ground off the Grassy Noll. Thankfully, the PAX persuaded J’Ville to keep his tight shorts on under his kilt for the remainder of the workout. FlipPhone regaled the PAX with his command of US History, this time extolling Marquis de Lafayette’s contribution to the Continental Army – good stuff. Some discussion concerning a once monthly diversion post-GridIron to Metro Diner – J’Ville raved about the impressive Gluton-free menu (offerings in number to implicate the “Paradox of Choice”). Attila was away which means per WhiteDeer that he will be well-rested for his Q at GridIron next week.

    Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
