NMS:

Not 1 Burpee was done this fine morning, it was on the play sheet for another Jack Webb but YHC thought that might be a bit much. It was good to have Sin Bin back out in the Gloom today (as I sit here watching the Red Wings and Blue’s). Next weeks No Toll will prove to be much more well thought out, can’t wait for the 12 days of Christmas.

It’s that time of year again. No, not the holidays. It’s time for Spotify Wrapped: Snuff Underground.

Take a trip to the outermost recesses of the mind with Snuff’s top songs of 2023.

Warmarama: SSHs x 50, mirkins, LBCs, DQs, cherry pickers, arm circles.

11s on the basketball court: WW2s & jump squats.

Mosey to the lot, pay the toll on the way. Then a Dora: timer runs around the other island, with 100 squats, 200 mountain climbers, 300 flutter kicks.

Parking space bear crawl with ascending mirkins, to 10. Run it back with lunge walks and jump squats.

Mosey back to the courts, pay the toll on the way.

Just enough time for some high speed mankillers. Light stretching and we’re done.

Thanks for taking a musical journey through my year.

COT and prayers for those in need. Channel that strength of the morning and offer it up wherever and whenever you can: to your family, friends, coworkers, a smile, a text, messages of support. Give.

A trio of trio early risers woke with desires of complimentary breakfast and fire within the inner workings of their pants. With the smells of warm eggs and bacon in the distance, here is what was accomplished as seen from the late shift smoking nurses.

Mosey to the large parking lot to collect any late arrivals. While we waited, lets introduce ourselves, disclaim as needed and begin with 40 SSH’s. Arrivals complete, lets continue to mosey to less windy areas of the AO. To the far corner of the lush green fields of No Toll where we continued with Deadman Hang, Heli’s and Jazzercise. Continue onto corner 3 for Ukrainian Soldiers, Imperial Walkers and Mountain Climbers. All is right with the world.

Mosey thru the woods and across the street into the Johnston Willis parking lot. 4 corners with 10 HR Merkins, 20 WWII’s, 30 Monkey Humpers, 40 LBC’s. Run the long stretches, Bear Crawl the shorts. Felt so good, lets run it again with an increase of 5 reps at each exercise. Broad Jumps replaced Bear Crawls. Warm up complete, lets hit the main course.

Mosey to the quaint pickleball courts across the street. 6 courts with 2 sides each = 12 areas for exercise. 20 reps each brocode style. Exercises included squats, american hammers, merkins, scrunchy frogs (Doozy request), rosalitas, calf raises, carolina dry docks, high knees (in place), gorilla humpers (nice and wide), jump squats (per Snuff), mountain climbers, burpees (10). Everyone seems content so lets mosey BTTVF with some head lamps working. Cut back thru the fields with a brief stop at the bridge to pay the toll with 20 incline merkins, 20 dips.

Ring of Fire, Ab style. PAX holds legs 6″ while each person takes 10 ab exercises of their choice no repeatos. Finished with 90 seconds of shavasana.

Numbers, Names, Prayer Requests, Announcements. YHC took us out

Prayers for Red Card as he returns home from his missionary efforts. Come out tomorrow at SOT for a Honeymoon beatdown. Prayers for brothers in various stages of physical recovery as they continue to come out or will return in the near future. DTH birthday surprise to be held @ Forge on Thursday.

F3RVA shirts available for order until Sunday. Variety of sizes and flavors. Get yours soon thru slack. Mr. Roper requests everyone use his name and credit card.

NMS: Always good to get off campus a bit. YHC followed Machismo’s earlier path to the previously unknown pickleball courts in effort to stay dry and enjoy some new terrain. Cooler temps led to the fart sack feeling extra toasty this morning, YHC was honored to have a strong turn out. Thank you gents for the opportunity to lead. Good times were had by some but the mumble chatter is always strong with this group of men. Awesome work fellas.

3 triples did the rain dance at No Toll this morning. Starting in the lush dry carpet of field one YHC picked an obscure COP locale. Circle for arm circles, helicopters, ISWs, Ukranian Soldiers, obliques LBCs, dying cockroaches, scrunchie frogs, then on to Thang 1.

Thang 1 triple check Freddie Mercury, chain smokers and a midfield runner.

Thang 2 line up in the first concrete median for squat ladder. (their are 20 spaces) for 210 squats and about 40 broad jumps in between.

Thang 3 Dora. With 100 WW2, 200 🐒, 300 calf raises

Thang 3: 4 corners with you do you merkins 20, 30 jump squats, 40 ⚒️, 50 smurf jacks.

Thang 4: 11s with step ups and shoulder ‘f’ers (incline merkins) Q no no modified.

bttf numbers names.

announcements. Shoe drive bring to rock and roll. T day converge at Mary Mumford.

prayers for Jonathan “Roper” struggling with finding his ball of man. Lift him up and others that may be down this week.

YHC took the Q for a shoulder friendly workout but couldnt find an adequate counter point on the toll. It is sometimes very hard to modify. Bullseye is modifying for an abb issue. The goal is to push yourself not injure yourself. Squat ladder did that for me today. Find your rabbit but keep charging gentlemen great seeing everybody have a blessed day you started it off well.

14 beatdown junkies flash-mobbed NoToll, some of us seeking a limbering up of all the post-ruck/marathon soreness. The music was loud, mumble chatter abounded, and much limbering was achieved. 

WARMERAMA: 

• Mosey onto the Bball court and circle up
• Welcome & Disclaimer barely heard over the thumping beats – Rosie complained bitterly
• Variable IC Reps to get the muscles warm top to bottom

The THANG: 

• Mosey out to Field #1, stopping en route to pay the Bridge Toll (x20 dips, x20 incline mericans)
• Circle up in the pool of light
• Select 3 cards from the Beatdown deck
• PAX to mix&match reps (any way/order they want) to burn out all three exercises during the duration of the song being played
• Mosey across field and back between songs
• At least 5 song sets completed
• Mosey BTTF stopping to pay the Bridge Toll again 
• Circle up for cool-down stretching

COT:

• Counterama # 14
• Namerama
• Announcerama (see Below)
• YHC took the PAX out in Prayer

NMS:  With all the recent deer hunting (four bagged so far!), it’s been a minute since YHC has Q’d but felt GREAT to have a solid PAX to serve this beatdown to. Also, the workout stretched whatever hip flexor issue happened doing the ruck, so YHC isn’t limping everywhere now. Favorite moment this morning was watching House Party performing enthusiastic Nancy Kerrigans in perfect jig step to Dropkick Murphy’s Irish tune – someone put that man in stage! Appreciate ya’ll coming out – always a pleasure and honor to lead. Love, DTH

Announcements (SEE SLACK!)

8 men gathered in the darkness of NoToll for a little workout with YHC. My goodness, what a beautiful morning it was.

Warmarama: SSH’s, Helicopters, Copper Head Squats, Imperial Walkers, Dead Man Hangs, Stretch it out a bit more on the groins and quads, Merkins and LBC’s.

Mozey to the Pavilion for some jams and Thang 1.

Super Dora: 100 Merkins, 200 Dips, 300 Squats, 400 Flutter Kicks aka Sugar Sticks. Partner runs back and forth across the field.

Thang 2: In our mighty circle of 9, starting with Belay choose an exercise of 50 (Lieutenant Dan’s), move to Machismo for 45 of some other exercise, decreasing quantity of 5 and moving to the next person ending with 10 burpees from YHC.

Mozey to the courts for Thang 3:

75% down and back and 1 of an exercise, repeating and increasing reps until all PAX had called out an exercise. Doozey, per usual, threw us a curve ball and had us do all the exercises at the end. He should have realized the mental capacity of the PAX before that throw down.

YHC closed it down with 10 burpees and a sprint down and back.

Announcements: RuckwithFood this Saturday at 6am launch from Twin Team, see Slack for details.

Prayer Requests: Boberry’s father passed away Saturday. Send him a text to let him know you’re thinking of him. Rosie’s father-in-law is in the VA hospital.

YHC took us out.

The jams were on point today. It’s a bonus when the tunes show up to any workout. YHC had considered playing a little Radiohead just to let Boberry know that we were thinking of him, but YHC couldn’t pull the trigger on that one. Even considering it should show Boberry that we are thinking of him.

8 gathered in the rainy gloom for a special edition double q partner beatdown featuring OC and Snuff.

Both agreed that neither of them would have gotten out of bed on such a rainy cold morning if not for the fact that they couldn’t let each other down.

Warmarama under the pavilion – 50 SSHs with Chaplain arriving just in time to complete the even number. 20 DQs, 60 arm circles, 40 LBCs, some plank jacks and other stuff.

At that point Snuff was out of ideas so OC came up with countdown to November 11s: burpees and WW2s. Slight audible: booyah burpees and booyah WW2s. Teamwork.

10 minutes of mirkins, squats and WW2s while the partner ran to the gate and back.

Partner carry halfway across the field, then switch. Wheelbarrow back across the other half, then switch. 3 rounds of 20x PLTs.

Back to the flag with a stop to pay the toll: 10 partner dips + 10 partner mirkins on the bridge.

COT.

It’s true – accountability is what carries us. Funny how we’re all just trying to keep up with one another – that’s the gift we give each other and that’s what keeps us coming back out no matter how deep the gloom. Who in your life do you hold accountable?

A trio of triples descended onto the plush turf of No Toll. Q was open until early morning when YHC took the reigns for a spontaneous beatdown for the ideal sunny and 70 conditions. According to the early morning dogwalkers and the late arriving prospects, this is what will be recorded in the annals of history.

Mosey to our usual warm up location without any extra laps around the AO and paid tolls. Introductions, disclaimers and warm ups of various concentrations both standing, planking and sixing. All was right with the world, so let us begin.

Mosey to the bleachers for Triple Check. Dips, Step Ups while timer runs across the bridge around the 4 curbs back over the 2nd bridge. 3 rounds each. Mosey to the parking lot for another triple check. Curb Crawls, Pole Smokers, Timer runs around 4 curbs again.

4 corners. 10 Hand Release Merkins, 20 WWII’s, 30 Monkey Humpers, 40 Mountain Climbers. Round 2: Same exercises add 5 reps each, reverse order.

Back to the basketball courts. Indigenous People Lunge around the courts. Man in front performs 2 burpees runs around the courts and takes up the rear. Continue this for 2 rounds while PAX lunges around the courts.

Numbers, Names, Prayers, Announcements. YHC took us out.

Twin Team to SOT Ruck happening on 11/11. Sell Slack for deets.

NMS: Strong PAX today with the rumbling of SOJ takeover north of the river by many of the No Toll regulars. Not the most strenuous beatdown but plenty of cardio and many of the PAX appreciated remaining dry. Good to have the lights back on at No Toll, looks like county paid the Dominion bill. Thank you Gents for providing the mumble chatter and the comradery.

A fit fourteen of RVA HIMs avoided the toll roads around SOJ and emerged from the crisp Fall gloom for an NTB beatdown. The early-rising dog walker told Snuff to tell Last Call to tell Mr. Roper to tell YHC what he observed this morning:

WARMARAMA

05:29:45 – Excited for the day, DTH takes off early for extra credit while YHC and the PAX catch up for a half-mile lap around the parking lot and soccer fields. Circle up in the parking lot for welcome, disclaimer, and various IC movements to get the large muscle groups firing.

COP 1: Couplet Ladder – The rep count gets shorter as the run gets longer. Crank up the tunes to drown out the monotony. Don’t even bother keeping up with Doozy.

• Round 1: 100 Flutter Kicks / 100 Single-Leg Lunges / Lap Around the Parking Lot
• Round 2: 75 FKs / 75 SLLs / Lap Around the Parking Lot and Field 1

NMS: Great mumblechatter from the back of the PAX today. YHC is grateful for the consistent showing at NoToll and the push from the rabbits to always run a little faster than what’s comfortable. There’s a name for everything in F3 and YHC’s new vocab word of the day was the smurf jack.
