Tag: GridIron

4 faithful members of the RVA Pax and 1 Double Dipper assembled at Short Pump Middle school for a Saturday morning beat down that went something like this:

THANG:
Mosey to back of End Zone at Grid Iron for COP: SSH x 25, Merkin x 15, Flutter Kicks x 25, Dead Cockroach OYO x 10, Hillbillies x 25

Run easy lap around track and up the hill to high ground for 10 minutes of Burpees (8 per minute)

2 easy laps around track and down to school for Quadruple Check: Peoples Chair, Plank, Run, Donkey Kicks/Wall Walkers (repeato for total of 3 cycles)

Mosey to bus lane for Zombie Walks to end.

Mosey to baseball bleachers for Tabattas:
1) Imperial Squat Walkers
2) Bear Crawl-a-rama on hill

Mosey back to shovel flag for COT

Moleskin:
With so much Fall activity, YHC was convinced this would be the first F3 RVA workout with 1 person posting…and bet TYA as much…but, you can always count on Groh to show at The GridIron…Thanks to Chum & Ricky Bobby for joining us as well! We picked up a double dipping Honey Do during the Quadruple Check.

This was the first time Ricky Bobby had performed a Dead Cockroach…we might need to work on those.

10 Minutes of Burpees are always difficult and smoked us for a good few minutes afterwards.

The Quadruple Check took much longer than anticipated. YHC was hoping to squeeze in a Dora 1-2-3, but had to call an audible with the Bear Crawl-a-rama

This may have been the first time in weeks where The GridIron saw ZERO partner leg tosses.

Honey Do shared that he only came out to his first F3 workout in June. Damn, that dude has improved in a short time!

Thanks for letting YHC lead, fellas. I really enjoyed our time together.

53 degrees, nice breezes, and a much better than expected morning greeted 4 of the Faithful who were later joined by 2 of the strong DogPilers who swallowed the DoubleDip Pill. Here’s how it went:

COT:

Discussion re Q coverage needs – DK confirming availability to Q next Saturday at GridIron; also need Q at GridIron for 10/17/15.  Signups on Google Sheets under Schedule of F3 website for F3 RVA.

Prayer concerns – unspoken

Strong Groh-led prayer concluded the BOM huddle.

Moleskin:

The AO expanded this morning with a venture to the High Ground to avoid any turf damage to the football and soccer fields.  Groh, DK, and J’ville – senstive and wise PAX?  Or mud-adverse?  In any event, the High Ground proved to be a solid site for the Beast.

A Burpee-free workout today (except for DK who self-imposed after he caused a workout disruption by kindly arranging for the gloveless Groh to become gloved).

It seems that Honey Do and Chum Bucket DoubleDipped because of their affection for PLTs – they were not disappointed (and pushed them out rapidly).

Coffeteria discussions covered lots of topics but one of the more interesting concerned the variety of dispositions brought by J’Ville to the workouts.  It was observed that J’ville was highly determined today, exhibiting excellent Merkins and CDDs form during the Beast.  There ensued discussion about the “angry J’Ville” (usually reserved for his Qs), the “mellow J’ville” and the intervening degrees of J’villeness.  #JekyllandHyde.

Colossians 3:23

 

Five of the Faithful and posted this morning at the GridIron with Donor Kebab planting the ShovelFlag.  We were joined at halftime by two committed Double-Dippers who, after a solid beat down at DogPile, wanted some more (or, in the case of one, thirsted for the post-workout coffee fellowship).  The PAX got a reprieve from the heavy rain forecast and instead enjoyed a refreshing temperature and a light breeze.  YHC took the Q on the fly so reserve is made for errors and omissions in that which follows.

Announcements:

Discussion re Q coverage needs – no man is indispensable, every man is equipped to lead.

Donor Kebab reported on Bottom to Tap 3-Miler on October 17.  DK is the czar on this – see him for detail and commitments.

GoRuck on October 23 and 24 – Honey Do is the man to speak to about this event.

Rugged Maniac – talk to Wilson

Prayer concerns – blessings of wisdom and discernment requested for our children; unspoken concerns acknowledged.

YHC closed the BOM with prayer.

Moleskin:

Solid second posting by London – well done (especially after the disappointing Wahoo showing last night)!  And bring your in town visitors next week as FNGs.  Is there a youth movement afoot at the GridIron?  Great EH by DK!

Johnsonville must have really liked last week’s Convergence because he was chomping at the bit for a GridIron kickoff (or a pre-game gut-check) a good 20 minutes before 0700.  Though not quite as early, Chum Bucket posted in plenty of time for more good morning pleasantries than generally permitted.

Conspiracy and Wilson double-dipped and were “exclusive” by partnering up on the PLTs.  That’s good because YHC has observed among the PAX some maneuvering to avoid pairing with Conspiracy given his proclivity for throwing down some “optional” obliques.

Coffeteria at Daily Grind – Iron sharpens Iron.  Also, the PAX include a couple “go to guys” with exquisite and sensitive spousal gift giving skills.  DK and London: thanks for the show and tell – there may be hope now for my M and the Ms of other PAX who suffer from gift-giving impairment syndrome.

Stand Firm!

One year ago, 24 men planted a shovel flag at #GridIron, and thus planted the seed that has grown into F3Richmond.  Thirty five of the faithful, and three FNGs, returned to #GridIron this morning to celebrate the anniversary.  Although the headliner workout began at 0700, roughly half of those posted at 0600 for a double-dose of gloom in an eerie pre-dawn fog.

COT

MOLESKIN:
In the early morning darkness, FNG Grunt flaunted his youth by out-sprinting most of the Pax while running backwards.  YHC noticed that Grunt seemed to slow down a little during the 0700 workout. Perhaps he decided to take it easy on the older generation. Offshore showed impressive speed on the sprints. Conspiracy eventually took ownership, however.

During the partner carries, Toga stridently rejected YHC and Bleeder for, shall we say a “less gravatationally challenging” Fudd.

Earthworm kicked off the 0700 workout with a COP in the middle of the upper football field.  A nearly forty-man COP is quite a sight to behold, almost stretching from sideline to sideline.  At that hour, the fog had not yet lifted, and YHC could see mere outlines of the men on the other side of the COP.

Abacus owned the Four Square, easily out running his competition by at least 50m. Later, toward the end of the 0700 workout, Abacus pulled out a phone on selfie-stick and began recording himself giving passionate commentary on the workout and F3, while he performed mountain climbers.  That hyper-burst of energy immediately spread throughout the Pax, increasing excitement and camaraderie.  Way to bring the energy, Abacus!

Between workouts, Earthworm led, and most of the Pax attended, a 3rdF Bible study that he referred to as the “Pre-Game Gut Check:  Slaying Giants.”  The Pax took a look at the unlikely king — God’s “911 Guy” — a small boy who tended sheep, yet rose up to rescue his nation from annihilation by killing the giant, Goliath.  God looks at the hart of a man, not the exterior.  He looks for men who are faithful, even in the small things; who, when the trying times come, act boldly and confidently; who overcome negatively; who plan for contingencies; who run, not walk, to the battle-lines; and who will not stand for wrongdoing.  David, the “911 Guy,” is a great example of who we, as men, are called to be.

The anniversary convergence was a huge success.  F3Richmond touched upon every aspect of F3 this morning — fitness, faith, and fellowship.  The COP filled up a football field, and the fellowship gathering  afterwards filled up the coffeteria.  YHC sends a big “THANK YOU” to Earthworm for tirelessly promoting the convergence and to the #DogPile regulars for traveling way out to the ‘burbs.

Johnsonville

Four of the Faithful posted at the GridIron with Donor Kebab planting the ShovelFlag.  Another glorious morning in the RVA, so much so that six strong men of the DogPile crew dashed over and joined us to make us ten strong for the all important second half.  The West End WildCats youth football season is in full swing resulting in some musical accompaniment to the workout.  This is what we did – reserve made for some omissions and overstatements.

BRR team heading out on Thursday and returning Saturday evening – need a Q at DogPile for that Saturday (September 12) at 0600; Loose Goose on the Q for GridIron that day at 0700 with some Q assistance from Groh.

Donor Kebab reported on Bottom to Tap 3-Miler on October 17.  DK is the czar on this – see him for detail and commitments.

Honey Do reported on GoRuck on October 23 and 24 – Honey Do is the man to speak to about this event.

Ashe being installed as Pastor at Cambridge Baptist Church on September 13 at 1030 service.  Stand Firm.

Prayer requests were solicited, blessings sought for children returning to school and Ashe’s pastoral calling, and unspoken concerns acknowledged.

BOM with strong Groh-led prayer of praise and supplication.  Where is our leadership needed this week?

Moleskin:

Welcome to Honey Do for his first GridIron!  And glad to have Conspiracy back out at GridIron – reaffirming that there’s a strong demand by the GridIron regulars for a Conspiracy Q with the Ladies!  Another impressive showing by the other 4 DogPile DoubleDippers – Swirly, Chum Bucket, Toga, and Bleeder.  T-Claps.  Sorry you missed the first half leg and glute burn and thanks for keeping the numbers even for PLTs.

The PAX were in a linear arrangement for the second half – YHC, with a bad left ear, was poorly positioned on the right flank to pick up the MumbleChatter – anything good is worth a comment.

Coffeteria at Daily Grind – good coffee and better fellowship.  Turnaround – sometimes the elusive signs we seek are at our six, not our front.

Psalm 116:1-2

Twelve of the faithful posted at #GridIron on a lovely late-summer morning to swallow that #RedPill. Roughly half of those came over from #DogPile and arrived in time to join in the Crawl-a-Rama.   This is how the workout went down, more or less —

MOLESKIN —

It was great to have so many double-dippers from #DogPile.  As always, we appreciate the positive energy and enthusiasm that the double-dippers bring.

Isle 5 was bit gimpy from tweaking his back during #DogPile.  Isle 5 has been improving at an amazing pace, and we hope he recovers quickly.

A number of PAX members suggested that YHC is a bit spastic when performing hillbillies and Russian twists.  Those are YHC’s favorites, and they cannot be toned down.

An extra thanks goes out to TYA and Bleeder for organizing our BRR team.  That race has really inspired F3Richmond men to improve their running, and we should be very proud of the effort that has gone into the training and preparations!

Jville

PS Notes:
— Special 1 hour #Punisher on Labor Day starting at 0700.
— Please focus energy on bringing at least one FNG (and/or wayward F3’er) to the convergence at #GridIron on 9/19.
— We need someone who is not running BRR to step up to Q #GridIron on 9/12.

COT:

Number-o-rama Burpee free-will style; Name-o-rama with a triple Hate and a double Respect; announcements and prayer concerns, spoke and unspoken.

September 19 — the Pax are eagerly looking forward to the Convergence at GridIron on September 19 at normal 0700; DoubleDippers are DogPiling under Toga Q at the GridIron at 0600; the lesser Redwoods will pregame GridIron at 0640 for another look at Old Testament leadership lessons.

Take out prayer of gratitude, expressions of humility, and appeal for guidance.

Moleskin:-

Great to have PigSkin back at the GridIron – he’d like to take back to the Queen City the uncommonly pleasant August weather that F3 Richmond has enjoyed.  He also pointed out the “audit trail” we left in the dew of the WildCat GridIron – the impressions are countable and the length of the broad jump portion of the Burpees was rather humbling.  Duly noted – we look forward to your next visit and keeping us accountable!

The Russian Twist under J’ville’s guardianship continues to entertain the Pax – once he realized that his pop was not suffering a seizure and speaking in tongues, Jolly Rancher broke out in uproarious laughter that broke YHC (and others?) mid-twist.  Feba.

Nice to have Chum Bucket for the full 60 instead of the 30 that his normal DoubleDip permits; Flip Phone consistently swallowing the RedPill (that may mean a 5 mph pace up the Priest – ouch!); and Groh plans to adopt this morning’s workout for his SUP during his vacation at the Rivah!

The Gloucester B-Boys had a nice showing during the closing Burpee free-will style that was incorporated into the Number-o-rama – the Pax have under consideration whether CB’s Burpee variation (unnamed, appropriately so) topped his comrade’s Burpee break dance finish.  Who knows what Oyster may have brought …

Coffeteria at the Daily Grind.

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24 NIV

Eleven of the faithful, and one FNG gathered at GridIron to start the weekend with a dose of RedPill.  The weather was sunny and warm, but slightly cooler than the average August morning in Richmond.  This is how it went down:

THANG:

ssh x 30, merkins x 12, don quiote x 25, hillbillies x 25

mosey to grassy knoll for 10 minutes of burpees

mosey to track, 400m run, planks / back bridges, 400m run (arrival of Swirly, Isle5, and Bleeder from Dogpile)

mosey to pillars for 40 seconds on each of 12 pre-set stations, including ab wheel, merkins, pole smokers, pistol squat on TRX (left), pistol squat on TRX (right), ww2 situps, carolina drydock, flutter kicks, LBCs, curb dips.

mosey to bus lane for ascending / descending curb crawls with merkins (1 – 5, then 5 – 1)

mosey to shady spot in grass for 5 minutes of mary, ending with a spirited Russian twist

COT

MOLESKIN:

During the prior week’s workout, Jolly Rancher talked much smack, repeatedly asking Earthworm for tabata sprints.  By the end of this workout, Jolly Rancher was not talking smack.  Rather, he was hanging his head and drooling on the ab wheel.  In fairness to him, he did pull off 12 burpees per minute during the “10 minutes of burpees” sequence.

During the naming of WD40, Earthworm suggested a number of very manly names for his son, including Thor, Mjolnir, and Odin. Wilson was very vocal in opposition to a father giving his son a strong, virile F3 name.  He suggested “Hemorrhoid.”  YHC was contemplating Mule Deer as a variation of Mjolnir (pronounced MYUL-NIR).  The PAX promptly settled on “WD40.”  Welcome WD40!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Richmond GoRuck event is on October 23 & 24th. Talk to Honey Do. Preblast posted a few weeks back.

Next Wednesday’s Hill run will be followed by a beverage at TYA’s house – this will serve as our second F for August.

CONVERGENCE on September 19th at Gridiron. Bring a friend!  Although not final yet, there seems to be support for a true double dip 6AM workout at GridIron as well.  Need a Q volunteer for 6AM.

Another splendid morning at the GridIron as the Pax enjoyed a temperature in the 60s.  We started with 6 of the Faithful and an FNG but added 2 Double Dippers at Half Time to make us 9 strong.  After a quick ambulation to the near WildCat GridIron Goal Post and a disclaimer we got right at it as follows:

The Thang:

Slaughter Starter – 20 Burpees OYO

x25 SSH and x25 Don Quixotes

Mosey to the Track and drop to our 6s at the 50 yard sideline of upper football field – x25 Alabama Prom Dates and Back Bend/Bridge/Arch Holds.

COT

Announcements – F3 RVA celebrates its 1 year anniversary on September 20, 2015 – GridIron calling for convergence on September 19 at Pouncey Tract.  All Pax posting challenge and FNG emphasis – the expectations are high that we will exceed the 24 RedWoods who posted at the inaugural RVA F3.  Wilson taking lead in coordinating with the Giant Killing Pax at DogPile.

Prayer concerns – spoken concerns for a parent, a spouse, and a brother; unspoken concerns acknowledged; gratitude offered.

BOM – strong, real strong, prayer offered by Groh to take out the Pax with a powerful sense of God’s blessings and a renewed commitment to our call to leadership in our homes, communities, and workplaces.

Moleskin

A lot of Respect with 4 half-Centenarians posting this morning.

Welcome back to Newman and a warm welcome to Ashe who finally succumbed to months and months of firm EHing – nice showing by both of these men this morning.  They took the RedPill and they liked it.  Nice to have a pastor among the Pax, Ashe.

And welcome, also, to Aisle 5 who Double Dipped for his virgin GridIron posting.  Well done and remember Veteran Double Dipper Wilson’s sage advice – the hardest part of the Double Dip is getting out of the car at Pouncey Tract.  Aye.

Epic MumbleChatter from Jolly Rancher who displayed searing disdain for his father’s brief pause during the Slaughter Starter and incessantly suggested that sprints Tabata style might achieve a bona fide BeatDown.  J’Ville had his revenge when he ran down his fleet-footed offspring on the track.

FlipPhone put in some impressive track work and exercised sound discretion in opting for some ground and pound sideline work while the rest of the Pax hit the BlockingSled – no back injuries among the Pax today!

Groh seemed disappointed that YHC lost his way and never got to the Pillars.  Maybe next time …

Discussion ensued concerning Brain Tumor’s Q on Thursday at 45 Minutes of Mary – ouch.

All 9 of the Pax regrouped for Coffeteria at the Daily Grind and enjoyed some solid second F.  Onward and Upward – Excelsior!
