Tag: NoToll

YHC was pumped to swing down to the South side and pay some tolls to Q for NoToll as Part of the DaVille Tuesday takeover this month. Planted the shovel flag in brutal gravel by the Tennis courts brought my phone and wireless speaker for some workout tunes to enjoy with this mornings workout and here is what went down for 14 F3RVA gents!

COP

Mosey to the parking lot by the cell towers and circle up for 20 SSH, 10 DQ’s, 10 4ct American Hammers, 20 4ct LBC’s, 10 reverse scorpions, 10 scorpions, 20 merkins.

THANG

The tunes are cranking now so we go to 4 corners bro code style as everyone want to hang with the tunes…right?!? So Corner 1 – 10 squats, Corner 2 – 20 Flutter kicks (2 ct), Corner 3 – 30 single count lunges alternating legs and corner 4 -40 LBC’s. We repeat this two more times.

Mosey to the soft grass divide into groups of 3 or 4 and perform a triple check. P1 – runs to opposite side of the field and back (timer) P2 – LBC’s, P3 – Personal choice upper body – plank, merkins, drydocks, etc. We rotate 2 more times so everyone has a turn to complete 1 set. We perform two more sets.

Next we divide into 3 groups and form a personal Bermuda Triangle about 20 yards in between each corner. Corner 1 group(C1G) – bear crawls to corner 2 (C2G) – sprints to C3G – lunges to C1G. We repeat this 3 times.

Mosey to the covered patio divide into different groups of 3. P1 – runs to opposite side of field and back (timer), P2 – Merkins and P3 bench dips (crushing the triceps on this routine). We rotate 2 times for each partner to get the exercise to complete the set and then perform 2 more sets.

These gents are crushing this work out…and we still have time.

Next we do 11’s using the width of the patio, 10 merkins, walk to other side 1 squat, walk back 9 merkins, 2 squats and continue to where we mosey back to flag and perform the 9 merkins and 2 squats(surprise switch), then 10 squats and 1 merkin to finish!

Moleskin

So you can imagine with CB music playing it will be all over the board from funk, to rock, to new wave…with a common excellent/unique percussion theme behind this music…I am a drummer after all. So a late 80’s tune pop’s up and YHC was thinking back to his college(let’s be real ‘Institute’) days and ordering cool trendy clothes from a catalogue titled International Male…back in the day we had no internet/amazon/google to buy things and the guys crushed YHC! We were laughing hard…check out the Wiki page(link at the bottom of this bb) if you really want to laugh…heck, they even made a movie about this!…What a gang of fun gents to work out with this morning. Humbly honored to lead, work out and have a laugh…great way to start the day!

Glad to see Mr Roper and Fresh prince back to NoToll as I understand it has been awhile and keep coming back…I know I will…soon! Cheers…CB!

International Male – Wikipedia

16 Beach Body on Demand models made their way to No Toll for a Doozy Q.

Mosey to the 1st field a circle up in the middle

DQ’s, Helicopters, Merkins, Mountain Climbers, Plank Jacks, Groiners, LBC’s

Mosey to the corner this is where the more educated of the PAX started weighing in on weather the field was a square or a rectangle an what level of Geometry YHC might have made it to. Circle, square or triangle YHC does not care what you want to call it we are using the 90 degree pointy things AKA corners that total 4.

10 – WWII, 20 – American Hammers, 30 – Scrunchy Frogs, 40 – Knee Slides

Mosey to far left field

10 – Hand Release Merkins, 20 – Wide Grip Merkins, 30 – Single count Shoulder Taps, 40 – Arm Circles (forward and Backward)

Mosey to right side field

10 – Copperhead Squats, 20 – 2 count Ball Dippers, 30 – Jump Squats, 40 – SSH

Mosey to the parking lot

Your Choice 4 corners but corner number 1 has to start with Burpees, Corner 2 – 20 Arms, Corner 3 – 30 Abs, Corner 4 – 40 Legs

Mosey to the playground, pay toll as you cross the bridge 20 Dips, 20 Derkins

At the playground the plan was to bear crawl around the circle track while last person in line pushes the play car to the front, as last PAX passes the car he pushes it to the front again team 1 seamed to have understood the instructions and where doing well but team 2 which included YHC failed at the first runner and rather than try to explain it again YHC decided to Audible and head towards the basketball courts. Seeing a trail that YHC has never noticed before we decided to see where it went. Sure enough it lead to the Tennis courts. This too makes a nice spot for a 4 corners.

10 – Scrunchy Frogs, 20 – Merkins, 30 – Jump Squats and 40 – LBC’s

BTTF Numbers / Names DTH took us out

NMS:

YHC loves seeing the number of PAX at AO’s grow. No Toll has always been a bigger AO but now we are starting to see the numbers get back up in to the Pre Pandemic area. There are still a couple AO’s on the south side that YHC would like to see grow back into their former glory, River Run and Twin Team could use a boost if your looking to add a day to your routine. Satan’s Hill is going strong, Timberwolf and The Forge are fairly consistent with good numbers and SOT is a great Humpday beatdown. Get out and get after it.

A steady downpour at NoToll immediately drenched the faithful PAX as they exited their rides in the last minute before 0530. With inspiring rock and roll thumping two rainproof speakers, the hearty PAX beelined it for the pavilion to squash the sad clown. 

The THANG:

WARMERAMA:

• Mosey to the pavilion and circle up
• Welcome & Disclaimer
• Variable IC Reps to get the muscles warm top to bottom

COP #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5:

• With two speakers set up for jammin pavilion surround sound, DTH whipped out the F3 Beatdown Deck, and separated 5 sets of 5 cards. The PAX was directed to complete reps IC or OYO based on the cards, and a movement activity or run around the field happened after each of the 5 sets.

Mosey BTTF for COT:

• Counterama # 8
• Namerama
• Announcerama (see Comments)
• YHC took the PAX out in Prayer

NMS:  Nothing like a little precipitation to bestow honor on the faithful HIM’s. After YHC made the spontaneous comment of “rain separating the HIM’s from the Hams”, Doozy was straining his brain to come up with an acronym for the “Hams” …Hardness-avoidant men? …HIM’s absentee mode? …or are we just alluding to fatty porkers? Ok ok, no name-calling, let’s just say kudos to the few who raised their first to the sky and said BRING IT! And big welcome to JUDGE, who used to post in C’ville, and finally popped the F3RVA cherry this morning in true style. Appreciate JUANITA bringing him out. Fun fact that YHC provides Peds care to both of their 2.0’s. Honored to lead and serve with you guys. SYITG, YHC, DTH

14 no 15 Sojourner’s made their misery complete and paid their penance without and then with a Toll at No Toll. 

Corks were popped on a few new tricks when Juanita’s VQ began with a mosey, then Warm-A-Rama:  DQ, Abe Vigoda, SSH, LBC, Rosalita’s, and Diamond Merkins were done with a without cadence as Juanita grasped the finer arts of a new PAX lingua.  Most exercises started without ready position move or the standard execute command proving once more that actions speak louder than words. 

Faith took center stage as the Pax Moseyed to the benches to begin to prostrate, pay, and pray for their penance.  “What for,” came the retort, as the Q regularly brought up the six, we’ll skip that and give you ‘How-so’.   Absolution began with (10) vexicon inspired plank to Groiner to Makhtar N’Diayes to plank jack Makhtar N’Diayes up and repeat. Lunge walk to the opposite side of the pristine lawn for (10) 4x4s (burpee to plank, 4 merkins, 4 mountain climbers and up) YHC’s lack of coordination would suggest that more explanation would be necessary to perform proper penance.  I find the below a helpful explanation of the Exicon:

Makhtar N’Diayes

From plank position, a 4-count exercise in which you put each elbow to the ground and then back into regular plank. Named for late ’90s Senegalese basketball player at UNC notorious for his elbows. Pronunciation: MAC-tar JIE – rhymes with “sky”.

  120 Merkins later the pax moseyed for a carpenter’s triple check with a midfield run plank Saws and American Hammers. 

When time ran thick marginally successful suicides were in order, that margin depended on uncalibrated power meters from 25% to 100%.  Tolls were paid with 15 dips and incline-merkins.  Then a final assembly on the tarmac for Danger Zone.

Penance was sought for an Audible on Jaunita’s namesake but there were clearly no takers even as cadence would suggest a less than sufficient proficiency in the Spanish language. Father forgive me for I have sinned.   

“Men cannot abandon their religious faith without a kind of aberration of intellect and a sort of violent distortion of their true natures. But they are invincibly brought back to more pious sentiments, for unbelief is an accident and faith is the only permanent state of mankind.”

Tuckahoe take over continued at No Toll this morning. YHC arrived with a plan for ~10 based on big data and SOJ showed up strong with 20 dudes ready to rock. Here’s what went down:

Mosey to tennis courts and tracers to circle up for the COP: 20xSSH, 10xCP, 10x HC, 10x merkins, 10x Scorpion Kicks**, 10x LBC, 10x heels to heaven.

Mosey to the back lot with a bleacher stop for 30x dips, followed by a surprise coupon triple check: coupon thrusters, Big boy sit ups** and the timer runs around the opposite island. Plank work for the six.

Traverse to the field pavilion for 2×25 PLT’s and a clockwise** four corners, cumulative, ascending and descending. 10 x HRM, 20 x WWII, 30 x squats, 40 x MH and back to last.

Numbers / Names DTH took us out

NMS:

On the way back to the flag YHC heard Snuff say it’s literally named No Toll as we were paying the toll at the bridge. Silver or Gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth get up and do 20 Dips and 20 Derkins. Acts 3:6

15 of SOJ’s unquestionable He/HIM’s worked up a sweat hammering a few more nails in the coffins of their old sad clown selves. To everyone’s delight, Wilson provides a personal “touch” to the experience…

The THANG:

WARMERAMA:

• Mosey a little ways then circle up on the Bball court

• YHC took the PAX out in Prayer

NMS:  Ain’t no PAX like the SOJ PAX, as poor absentee Gumbo will soon find out. Awesome weather to hit those lush NoToll fields, and the PAX crushed the Dime Pounder with ease. After Wilson provided his own special touch on 2nd F, a few of the PAX lost momentum on completing the Over-Unders but heroically planked for the last man to reach the end line. Thanks for sharing your sweat and humor this morning gentlemen. SYITG, DTH

9 Star gazers made their way out of the rain soaked gloom to find what they thought would be wet soccer fields.

Mosey to the tennis courts: COP (pay toll along the way 20 Dips, 20 Derkins)

DQ’s run a lap, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers

Mosey out to the main parking lot to find 12 frisbees with lights on them set up in a big circle and a bucket in the middle. Start in the middle at the bucket and run to one of the stars and do 25 of the exercise on the frisbee, run back to the bucket do 5 burpees and move on to the next star until you’ve done all the stars.

Mosey to the first corner, hit all four corners with 10 of those exercises, chris cross do those exercises with burpees at the bucket. We missed 2 exercises, Ball Dippers and Hand Release Merkins and Last Call wanted to do Arm circles so as the PAX went back and forth for the last 2 stars we did Arm circles forward and backwards and last but not least 5 more burpees

Mosey BTTF pay more tolls (Taxation without representation) this is a Dictatorship and YHC got to be the Dic today.

At the flag get in your best Lazy Boy position and recline

Numbers / Names Chaplain took us out

NMS:

Stars was really supposed to be Clocks and the 12 frisbees where supposed to be the numbers but the fields at No Toll really retain water and it was only 36 degrees this morning (or as we like to call it 70 and sunny) so clocks was moved to the parking lot and renamed stars. Snuff and Last Call where thinking about all the burpees we did and tried to add them all up afterwards, if my math is correct we should have done right around 75 burpees this morning.
