Tag: NoToll

8 new year, new you advocates posted to see what Doozy would have cooked up to start 2024 with.

Mosey to the bridge to pay our Toll 20 Dips, 20 Incline Merkins

Mosey to the tennis courts for COP – DQ’s, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers, Dead Man Hangs, SSH

Mosey to the parking lot out around the back right corner around the Soccer field, pass the pavilion back to the parking lot.

10 Parking spaces have an exercises written in them with a medicine ball and logging chain in the middle space. Every PAX starts at a different space does 20 of that exercises and then runs a lap always moving to the next space on the right. once you complete the far right end and after your lap you go to the far left end. When you get to the space with the ball and chain choose one and take a lap.

BTTF for 1 minute of Schrunchy Frogs IC

NMS:

YHC hadn’t brought the Ball & Chain out in a while so this seamed like a good time to get back at it. There is a good bit of running that goes with this beatdown but I think the PAX handled it well. The way to set it up is to make it hard enough that not everyone will complete all the spaces but that a couple PAX will.

OC posted on time for therapy with the good Doctor, and while the PAX went to work shaking off the holiday fat suit, OC detailed his problems between the silky sheets. Among all the gruesome details the real zinger was that cat being present remedied the situation… you’ll have to ask him about it…

NMS: Very thankful to have OC’s presence and conversation today. Something like the x100 Chainsmokers would have absolutely gotten an audible if this was a solo DTH workout. Pretty wild for the NoToll PAX to drop from 47 to 2 in the span of a week but entirely expected with the holiday. Hope to see you other guys start to trickle back into the gloom as the week progresses. Safe travels for everyone! Yours, DTH

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!)

• Shoe Drive ongoing – being your used shoes to The Forge on Thursday!

• MORE Ruck Opportunities coming!

Prayer Requests:

• Doozy’s brother hospitalized with Pancreatitis – prayers for his recovery and for both him and his wife find recovery from alcoholism

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.
