Tag: NoToll

An intimate gathering set for 2 was played on this perfect sunny and 70 morning. Parking lot looks a bit empty but rules are rules, lets get this going. According to the cops and dogwalkers patrolling the area, this is what went down.

Warm up mosey down to Robious and return to the basketball courts for quick warm up that included a variety of exercises.

NMS: Great to have Rosie come out for an unusually lite mix for No Toll. Good mumble chatter about a variety of topics including vacations, colleges among others. Numerous events are upcoming throughout SOJ in effort to engage new members and families. Tremendous leadership by everyone pulling these together.

NMS: Great to be at No Toll this morning with these fine gents. Appreciate OC turning down the Q at Old Hundred to join YHC this morning….and appreciate Gumbo crossing the river. And appreciate the rest of y’all too. Today’s Q involved a lot of counting. So much so that it cut into the mumblechatter a bit too much. The BB title is a quote from DK…who wasn’t letting all the counting mess with his conversation.

Have a great day fellas! Thanks for letting me lead. Peace!

When YHC had dreams of getting kicked off the Q Sheet it almost happened. After YHC scraped the fartsack off arriving late, we went directly into some Warmarama.

8 regulars and a self EH’ed FNG made their way out of the Gloom to find themselves at the first Doozy Q of the year, it also was a birthday Q so extra fun was had by all.

Numbers / Names Greenbow took us out

NMS:

Welcome to our latest FNG “Fritos”. The title for this BB was based off a comment that Fritos made during the four corners. Greenbow was jabbing at YHC about turning 52 and Fritos said “there is a difference between a 52 year old that been working out for 30 years and a 20 year old that hasn’t”. The comment really got me thinking, YHC hasn’t been working out for 30 years but YHC is in the best shape of his life and its all because YHC started (5ish years ago) with this PAX and this PAX has made me better. We do all have to start somewhere but starting is only part of it, we all get out of it what we put into it.

I did take some time off from the Q sheet but in the words of John Wick, “people keep asking if I’m back and I really haven’t had an answer but Yeah I’m thinking I’m back”

8 stalwarts posted to NoToll this morning (2 extra early for some Broga) and most knew exactly what was in store…perhaps others stayed in the fartsack or traveled to a different Nano region to avoid it – only they know.

The 8 of us crushed an Old Glory and are all better off for it.

11 March Madness bracket busters joined forces on the courts of No Toll for a murderous maraud.

Warmarama: SSH, DQs, Susan Summers, Freddie M., Diamond Merkins.

The Thang: Eye of the Hurricane South, East, Midwest, and West Corners of the double ball court met in the middle for 10 WWIIs then dispersed OYO for 50 American Hammers, Freddie Mercuries, Scrunchy Frogs, and Flutters.

Reconvene for Eye of the Mericane with 10 burpees then back to various corners for OYO 25 Diamond Merkins, Werkins, CDD, and Hand Release Merkins.

Triple Check with Raise the roofs, and Lt. Dans. Timer does suicides or murderous marauds whatever the pc way of calling that out is.

With arms and abs sufficiently exhausted, what better than to try and play 10 min. of basketball on this 70degree and sunny morn. Score was 4 to 2. YHC is glad no one got hurt.

This tournament has been a crazy reminder of what can be accomplished with strong leadership. It doesn’t always take the most capable or the biggest budget to make an effective team. We lead this together, with vigor, outside.

5 noble Warrior took on the gauntlet that No Toll had to offer. For the onlooking Mac members it may have gone something like this:

Warmarama (waiting for Dealer): SSH, Diamond Merkin, Alt cross leg LBC, Wide Merkin

Tennis court lap High knees, butt kickers, Step Overs.

Squat ladder on the parking lot: start broad jump 2 spots then ascending squats every two spaces 2, 4, 6, 8 – 20

4 Corners on soccer field 10 merkins, 20 WWII, 30 CDD, 40 SSH

Mosey to entrance to the Mac, Hoe downs in cadence, Dirty hook up in cadence. Invite paying club members to join F3RVA.

Find pickle ball court (Tour de merkin and and ab excercise)

Hansel and Grettle back to the playground for a little curb crawl indigenous people style.

Numbers, names, COT.

YHC Has really been thinking about what the word efficiency means. Take what you have and use it to the best of its ability. That goes for this a AO as well as the our actions in our daily lives. We took a tour of this AO and got to see all that it has to offer. YHC is grateful to rub shoulders with four noble warriors who laid footsteps across the paths of No Toll this AM.

YHC grabbed the No Toll Q a few weeks ago thinking it would be fun to do something related to the upcoming March Madness tournament, but the cold temps and not wanting to step on Splinters toes led to an audible and the birth of 4 Laps/4 Burpees. Here’s how it went down for the 14 HIMs that showed up to No Toll –

Warm-a-Rama: SSH, Helicopters, Dead Man Hang, Copper Head Squats, Ukrainian Soldiers, Merkins, LBC’s.

Thang 1: 4 Laps/4 burpees – partner up. While partner 1 runs around the parking lot, partner 2 completes an exercise. Complete a total of 4 laps, then 4 burpees and hit the second exercise. YHC called out exercises as we went so there was no break in the action. Rosie and Hardywood set a mighty pace for the rest of the PAX. Exercises completed: WWII’s, American Hammers, Squats, Lunges.

Mozey to the field for a Triple Check.

Thang 2: Triple Check – Partner 1 run back and forth across the field, Partner 2 – Dips, Partner 3 – Incline Merkins.

Mozey to the courts

Thang 3: Suicides, 3 rounds. Run a suicide and then complete 6 burpees.

Thang 4: Circle up…real tight like…for pass the pill.

• Hold six inches and pass the speaker around the circle forwards and backwards.
• Hold plank and pass the speaker around the circle forwards and backwards

Time was called.

We were grateful to welcome FNG – More Cowbell (Robert) to the PAX today. He had a fever for a bootcamp workout and the only cure was More Cowbell. That’s the truth!

Announcements:

• Doublemint is looking for volunteers to help push wheelchairs on April 18th for a 5k. Sounds like a great event.
• Oyster’s paying lunch Wong’s Tacos.
• Check Slack for details.

Great workout today men. We kept moving, pushed ourselves and had a great time. Lots of good laughs and the mumble chatter was on point. Not quite as on point as the YHC’s cadence, but close.

This was a banger of a workout. Thanks for letting me lead and getting after it today. Have a great day.

Six timely gents, including one traveler from the south, heeded the call of Machismos watch and took off to parts less traveled. A lone warrior ventured in search and upon his travels, found this tale was told.

PAX traveled off campus, across Robious into Greenfield Community to see the latest happenings. Circle up at Granada and Woodmont for welcome, disclaimer and warmups that included Invisible Jumprope, DQ’s, Jazzercise, Copperhead Squats (with hissing) among others. Everyone seems warm, lets get it on….

THE THANG:

Partner up for Love Hill on Flat Ground. 1 man runs while the other does moving exercises that included Bear Crawls, Lunges and Broad Jump Burpees. Finish up at Neptune Dr. Short Mosey over to the lush fields of Greenfield.

DORA of Love: Partner up again. 100 Pickle Pounders, 200 Squats, 300 Flutters (2 count). Partner ventures out to find 3 trees and returns, no repeatos.

Back out onto Greenfield for Brocode Lindsay. Start with 30 WWII’s and 10 Carolina Drydocks. Travel around the block as a group, stopping at various intersections until complete 10 WWII’s and 30 Drydocks. Avoid the spikey grass, heavy traffic and numerous onlookers staring out their houses. Finish up at Woodmont and Rockledge Rd.

Burpee Drive BTTF: Travel along Woodmont stopping at vehicles along the way. SUV = 1 burpee, Car = 1 HR Merkin, Truck = 1 Jump Squat. Double the exercise if vehicle is parked on the road or passes the PAX along the way. School Bus = 1 WWII.

BTTF to find the lone PAX member returning from a solo for quick Mary of American Hammers and APD’s.

Announcements:

SOJ Social this Friday March 10th. 5.30 @ Diamond Billiards. Try to win Rosie’s money at 8-ball.

Good luck to DTH and his Family as they spread the good word and good medicine to those living in Papa New Guinea. Safe Travels.

NMS:

Good to have a traveler, Marta, join the group from Charlotte as he visits F3RVA for a quantitative physics convention. This led to intense mumble chatter throughout the beatdown. With smaller numbers due to various reasons, it was good to venture off campus and see a new territory to explore. Machismo lost his Pickle Pounder virginity on those plush green fields of Greenfield park. Neighborhood was quite busy this morning but led to some good laughs and entertaining discussion. Always good to spend the morning with you gents.
