Huguenot Park

  • All the Things she said

    13 fanboys brought their bundled selves one cold morning to the hottest ticket this side of Williamsburg. Snuff Underground: Indie rockettes edition. All there with the same goal – try and stay warm. Easy with the beats of Clairo, The Cranberries and Patti Smith. Manic pixie dreamgirl approved.

    5-burpee slaughter start then mosey to the back lot stopping to pay the toll.

    Mosey to the lot with some SSHs then a full mosey around the field only stopping for some OG style burpees in the far corner.

    Loop back around to the bleachers for a triple check.

    Mosey around the lot then a series of ascending cocaine bears followed by ascending lunge walk then squats. No Doubt.

    Mosey back around the half field then back into a circle for several rounds of nonstop mirkin Mary.

    Mosey back around the lot then another triple check with flutters and Bulgarian split squats.

    Mosey back to the flag for a 10-burpee wind down.

    COT and coffee for a hot minute.

  • Snow Toll

    6 Madmen joined YHC for a frozen beatdown in the 5″-ish of snow covered No Toll Glory. Started with disclaimer before we even started a jog, as the conditions were slippery and hard, don’t be dumb…

    Mosey to the parking lot for some warm-ups: SSH, IW, US, Copperhead Squats, Cherry Pickers, Arm Circles, Merkins.

    Workout 1 – Mosey to the Snow Covered Soccer Field, laid out cones that covered an 1/8 of the field. In pairs, 1 partner ran the outside of the cones, while the other continued an exercise around the lap, tagging out as the running partner got back to the exercise partner (There is a name for this, but not sure what it is): Lap 1: Rotating Squats; Lap 2: Walking Lunges; Lap 3: Broad Jump Burpees.

    Workout 2 – Four Corners (Whole Park). (10) Burppes; (20) Merkins; (30) Squats; (40) Monkey Humpers

    Workout 3 – Mosey to Shelter for an Ab Triple Check: Flutter Kicks; WW2; third person run across the field and back.

    Mosey back to the front parking lot, where we finished with some single man sled pushing, which ended up having some good speed when you had 2 people pushing you!

    COT – Gratitude for getting out in the 16F conditions, and through the discomfort, and for safe travels throughout. Also, brought some poor man’s coffee (2 – 24oz WaWa Coffee’s), for a quick coffeerama.

  • Discomfort Crisis

    The general populace may be getting too comfortable but not these 10 men who embraced the suck on the coldest wettest morning of the year. 34 degrees and nonstop rain, LFG. The triumphant return of Crash Test Dummy, who somehow forgot to bring the desert heat. We still love you CTD.

    Mosey to the back parking lot and around the field, then back to the covered pavilion. YHC revealed he had spent too much time on the playlist and not enough time planning, so the warmup was extra warm with lots of SSH and quick reps including 20 big boy WW2s to get the blood flowing.

    4 stations, one at each bench. Bulgarian split squats, dips, decline/incline mirkins, step ups. Each group rotated whenever the mirkin station called out to switch. After a full rotation, we needed to get even more warm: Mankillers to the beat.

    Another full rotation, then a whole bunch of ab exercises to 100: LBCs, American Hammers, flutters, and some other stuff. One more full rotation and then we had one more song to get back to the flag.

    COT – gratitude for the fortitude to get out in the gloom and the push through the rain, through the discomfort, and prove once again that we can face the new day with all 3 Fs.

    And… a cup of hot coffee or 3 out of the back of the Snuff-mobile. A small comfort, well-earned.

  • Off Campus

    15 of the finest fellows came out to see if OC or YHC had the Q for a pre turkey day beatdown that took us to various parts of the AO. Here is how things went down.

    Mosey to the parking lot for introductions and disclaimers. Variety of in conversation exercises included SSH’s, Dead Man Hang, DQ’s, Helis, LBC’s, Suzanne Summers, Merkins, with a bit of broga.

    Mosey around the plush fields to a break in the woods, venturing across the street to the plush asphalt of the hospital.

    4 corners led things off. 10 HR merkins, 20 WWII’s, 30 squats, 40 Monkey Humpers.

    Partner up for a bit of Love Field (no hills in this parking lot). Runner runs across the parking lot, while partner bear crawls, lunges & broad jump burpees. Switch as needed.

    Partner up for a Dora. 100 Merkins, 200 WWII’s (not a good idea), 300 double count toe taps. Timer runs across the parking lot.

    Mosey back across the well manicured turf to the No Toll lot. Triple Check time. Timer runs the island. Partners perform Pole Smokers and Curb Crawls.

    MBTTVF at perfect time for numbers, names, announcements. YHC took us out with Snuff providing the post communal coffee.

    Announcements: Turkey Day Convergence on Thursday at Mary Munford, 7 am. Turkey Day Ultimate on Thursday at Timberwolf, 5.30 am. Double dip if you dare. Father/Daughter Dance in December – see slack for deets. Doozy is keeping SOT alive on Wednesdays. Go join in the fun with him. Gumbo and OC have Breaking Bread this weekend, December is currently open if you want to do some quality cooking for some great people. Safe travels over the holidays.

    NMS. Quality numbers this morning fellas. OC supposedly claimed the Q last night for a turkey day beatdown, but YHC saw the Q was open. YHC blames the government for these shenanigans. I am sure OC will seek swift retribution. Thank you boys for letting me lead. Safe travels to those that are out and about.

  • Good old No Toll

    🥶 The Gloom Report: 11/18/2025 – No Toll

    Nine Gloom Soldiers saddled up for what Machismo had in store this morning. Scrapping the frost from our iron steeds, the Pax mostly wearing gloves (except Dookie!) fumbled our way in the darkness towards the frosty fields.

    🔥 Warm-up

    It was a prompt start with a lap around the track for Warmarama.

    • Side Straddle Hops (SSH)
    • Imperial Walkers (IW)
    • Hand Release Merkins
    • Little Baby Crunches (LBCs)
    • Don Quixote’s (DQs)
    • …and more

    🔨 The Thang

    The Pax got straight to work with a mix of running and strength:

    • Triple Check: Run across the field with a triple check, hitting the standard Merkins and WWIIs (World War II Situps).
    • Man Killers (Ouch!) Q got to dish out the count around the pax. YHCs calves were burning tonight.
    • The Pavillion – Dora: Moved to the pavillion for a round of Dora 1-2-3:
      • 100 Dips
      • 200 LBCs
      • 300 Raise the Roofs
    • Indian Run (IP): A lap around the field with a Burpee Cherry.

    ⏱️ 5 Minutes of Mary (5MOM)

    Returned to the start for a round of Mary.

    🙏 The Moleskin

    YHC (Yours Truly, the Q) asked the Pax what they were thankful for. We got many great answers, but above all, we were thankful for Snuff’s Coffee, delivered even though he was running it tight to get his wife to the airport.

    Humbled to lead you all this morning. Grateful for the opportunity to start the day together!

    Aye, Machismo (Q)

  • Welcome to Club L Woods

    On a frigid, blustery Veterans Day, YHC kicked things off with a simple prompt: name someone, military or not, who has made sacrifices in your life.

    Before the beat even dropped, Scram, hearing the low hum of YHC’s generator, asked the question of the morning: “What’s that sound?” Moments later, the PAX would learn exactly what it was as the playground at NoToll transformed into Club L Woods, complete with a generator-powered karaoke speaker and flashing lights.

    After a friendly reprimand from Rosie to not disturb the neighbors, YHC introduced Scram to his playlist, including some Rage Against the Machine. With power cords, flashing LEDs, and guitar riffs echoing through the cold, the PAX pushed through four-minute stations with 20-second breaks.

    It all wrapped with a final sprint from the playground to the basketball court. As the music faded, each man called out the name of his one, someone who had sacrificed for him.

    WARM-O-RAMA (10 MIN)

    • SSH, Don Quixotes × 10 IC, imperial squat walkers, mummy kicks, merkins, lbcs, alabama prom dates

    THE THANG

    Split into 4 groups- pax count out by 4. rotate every 4 minutes. Timer was used to rotate stations.

    Station 1: One pax Bear crawls up / crawl-bear down  large green hill in playground, 1remaining pax jump squats, rotate.

    Station 2: merry-go-round: 1 pax holds “air plank” while 2 pax member holds their legs, rotate around three times. Remaining pax plank jacking until rotations are done.

    Station 3: Rope climb, one pax member climbs rope, goes over and down and returns. Remaining pax are doing burpees while they wait their turn.

    Station 4: One pax runs around playground loop while remaining do step-ups on bench.

    Finale: Wind-sprint from Playground to end of basketball court.

    Announcements: Convergence Thanksgiving Day, Chili Cook-Off at the Alamo November 23, Daddy-Daughter Dance, 12 days of Christmas December 23. Two New AOs have recently been launched: Bon Iron (Saturdays 6 am) and Huge Bells ( Monday 530 am). Please come out to support them.

    Prayer Requests: Wildcat lung cancer scan.

    Thank you all of our service-members, active and non-active, and for the sacrifices you have made.

  • Rich men south of Richmond

    18 citizens gathered to exercise their civic duty to the tunes of Snuff Underground: Election Day edition.

    Warmarama: 46 SSHs, happy birthday to YHC.

    Count off 1s and 2s. Each pair presented their platform: an exercise of their choice. Mirkins or arm circles? The PAX voted and the loser ran a lap while everyone did the winning exercise. This democracy went on for a couple rounds until the PAX was corrupted into voting for pandering candidates. It then switched to a constitutional monarchy while we listened to God Save the Queen by the Sex Pistols. Then a dictatorship when YHC didn’t like the choices. Then some voters were forced to do the exercise of the opposing party’s platform. Then some PAX members got their exercise flipped around and got a taste of their own medicine. Then all the election winners huddled and chose the exercise for the losers knowing full well that when they got back from their lap, they would be at the mercy of the losers. It was pure electoral chaos.

    Circled up for some ab Mary where the PAX members went around the circle doing 10 of an ab exercise, except the person on each side also did it with you. Then we ran the OG lap around all the fields before heading back towards the flag. Deep state dips on the bridge to an extreme metal cover of ‘Southern Man’ and then we all lined up on the basketball court for a series of suicide sprints. Rule #1 of Snuff Underground is that when you complain about the music you gotta pay, even if it is making your ears bleed. Hold plank to the entire song of ‘This Land is your Land’ by Woody Guthrie.

    COT. Get out there and vote.

  • Shapes and such

    A refresher on (running) shapes in the (refreshing) rain. Warmarama – Part 1: Mosey loop around parking lot. Form a perfect LINE for SSH’s, DK’s, CH Squats, Arm Circles.

Prayer requests: Dookie’s family and Sable’s travels to Africa.

  • Fart Symphony at the Pavilion

    SIXTEEN HIMs were not deterred by the cold and rainy forecast, choosing instead to jump aboard the NTB beatdown bus. The following is based on real events:

    Hot Start – 1 burpee in honor of baby Zoe’s first birthday today. Then off for a mosey to the soccer fields. Stopped at the bridge to pay the toll despite Snuff’s protest.

    Warmarama

    • One lap around the right field skipping and frolicking for a dynamic warm up. Then we circled up in the middle for a disclaimer and a variety of IC movements.

    COP #1 – Kilo-Dora

    • 100 Merkins/200 Squats/300 LBCs/400 SSHs
    • Bernie to sideline and jog back/squat walk to right end of pavilion and back/squat walk to left end of pavilion and back/jog to sideline and Bernie back to the center.

    COP #2 – Jack Webb (Ab Edition)

    • Movement A: Box Cutters (1-10 reps)
    • Movement B: Flutter Kicks (4-40 reps)
    • Try to keep feet off the ground the whole time. YHC could not keep his feet off the ground…
    • With 16 PAX huddled under the pavilion a symphony of farts erupted through the early morning air.

    IP run back to the flag where we spent the few remaining minutes with half a round of license plate roulette. Kudos to snip for the surprise 17 burpees at the end.

    COT

    • New AOs Bon Iron and Huge Bells are being added to the Q Sheet and Map.
    • Ramp Build project happening this week. See slack for details.
    • Welcome Cotton Tail to RVA, moving here from Greensboro.
    • Reminder to give F3 away! It’s not a club it’s a mission, and sometimes a cult. Invite someone new this week.

  • It was a belated birthday Q.

    13 HIM’s joined YHC for a No Toll beatdown. YHC celebrated his actual birthday with family on Sunday and today with the brother’s of F3. 530am sharp, off we went.

    Mozey to the Toll Booth – 25 dips, 24 decline merkins.

    Continued mozey warm up around the parking lot, than on to Warm-a-rama –

    Warm-a-rama: SSH’s, Helicopters, Dead Man Hangs (straight and wide leg), Merkins, Wide Grip Merkins – Recover

    Thang: Partner Up for Catch Me if You Can.

    • Round 1: 5 burpees, backwards run. YHC underestimated the speed of the runners with many finishing the parking lot loop before they could be caught. Well done! Plan modified…
    • Round 2: 7 Merkins, Backwards Crab Walk.
    • Round 3: 7 WWII’s, Forward Crab Walk
    • Round 4: 7 of something, side shuffle squats facing outward
    • Round 5: 7 – 2 count spider man merkins, side shuffle squats facing inwards

    Thang 2: The March to 49.

    Slow mozey around the parking lot with YHC calling out ‘1 Burpee’ every few seconds. The PAX made their way around the parking lot and then made the turn for the home. We stopped at the Toll for 11 dips and 11 incline merkins, wrapping it up with 7 more burpees on the way back to the flag.

    One minute left to go. Circle up for 1 minute of Heels to Heaven. Time Called.

    Announcements:

    • New AO starting November 3rd at Huguenot High School – kettle bell themed.
    • Chili cookoff on November 23rd. Check Slack for Deets.

    YHC took us out.

    It was a banger workout today and YHC hopes his friendship with Last Call is still intact. Supposedly, YHC is on some type of list. No doubt, the A-List.

    A great day at the No Toll. Thanks for celebrating with me.

    Special thanks to L-Woods for attempting to make coffee and Snuff for actually making coffee. Great to see McRib out hanging with the boys once again.
