Tag: NoToll

14 HIM’s whose name may or may not be identified in the PAX section joined YHC for a No Toll beat down. No doubt attendance was high after No Toll received the award for the most well attended AO in the RIC. We’re going Back to Back!

YHC was scouring the Internet last night reading backblasts from other AO’s hoping for some inspiration. The following went down…

Warm-a-rama: Mozey to the back parking lot stopping to pay the toll with 10 dips and 10 decline merkins. Once at the back parking lot, jog one lap then on the second lap do some dynamic stretching. Off we go to the Pavilion.

Thang 1: Triple Dora – This is a Dora with a Triple Check (Courtesy of F3 Omaha). Round 1: Merkins, Squats, LBC’s. One person runs, one person planks, the 3rd does the exercises. Round 2 – different partners and exercises but same theme: Carolina Dry Docks, Bobby Hurley’s, 2 count American Hammers.

Thang 2: Mozey to the Parking Lot: Divide the parking lot into quarters. On the way out, 16 Gorilla humpers, 4 Big Boy Sit Ups (Lots of debate on what this exercise is. Who knew Last Call was our Go To Man for F3 exercises??). On the way back, 32 Gorilla Humpers with 8 Big Boys. This one courtesy of F3 Jacksonville, FL. There was more to it, but we were running short on time.

Thang 3: Sprints – 3 rounds of 75% down and back. 1 round of 100% with down. Kuddos to those that didn’t hear YHC and finished 100% with a down and back.

Mozey back to the flag with a quick stop and payment at the Toll with 20 incline merkins.

Great morning! Great to see some new faces and familiar faces who traveled a bit farther than others (Big Rig!) to enjoy the great AO that is No Toll.

YHC is missing two names from this morning. Please identify yourself so I can get the backblast updated and you can get your credit on Big Data.

NoToll wouldn’t have it any other way. The rain didn’t scare off a might 18 from posting to NoToll hoping YHC has something better than an Old Glory in store. Well, not much better.

First, we all pay a 1-burpee toll for Heist’s terrible parking job. Done.

Mosey to the back lot for very quick COP (not doing 1,000 SSHs) – all IC – SSHs, DQs, Helicopters and we were off and running…to the pavilion.

THE THOUSAND – 5 exercises, 20 reps each, a run between rounds – 10 rounds. Exercises were: Merkins, Mountain Climbers (2-ct), Squats, Imperial Walkers (2-ct) and LBCs. Run was up to you – most opted for across a field and back. Some (Warby) opted for a lap around the field. Well done.

Mosey back to the basketball courts for quick work:

• 10 Donkey kicks on the fence, bear crawl to middle of the court, mosey to end and back.
• 10 Bobby Hurley’s, skip/bounders to the end, jog back
• Finally….on your six for Freddies until the bell rings

Love the magic number #18 today. That was YHC’s baseball number. Appreciate you fellas coming out in the rain and celebrating my 1,000th official, documented post with F3 today. It has been a great pleasure and I look forward to 1,000 more. Thank you for the fellowship, the strength and the motivation that you all provide.

YHC took us out.

Machismo figured out YHC’s plan today. YHC can’t screw up the counting if the PAX has to do it.

Great workout and great company this morning. Awesome way to start the day!

A pair of single ones enjoyed the lush bermuda turf of Huguenot Park in the latest rendition of No Toll. YHC instructed the Pax that gloves were optional but not recommended. Effort, however, was all out and on display. YHC cut off salutations and greetings to get the party started at 5.30.

Short Mosey to the parking lot where introductions and disclaimers were announced along with some light stretching of YHC’s favorite hits. All seemed limber so let us begin.

Mosey across the bridge to midfield of the recently sprinkled pitch in pristine condition for the imposing beatdown. YHC decided to copy a previous Doozy Q idea by laying out 12 glowsticks around the perimeter. Instructions were simple. Each glow stick had a card with an exercise. Pax completes 20 reps of said exercise and returns to the center where they will find a willing partner to perform 10 booyah merkins, then venture out to another glow stick. Exercises included Jump Squats, Plank Jacks, Ball Dippers, Lt. Dans, Side Stradle Hops, Mountain Climbers, Pole Smokers, American Hammers (2 count), WWII’s, Freddie Mecuries (2 Count), Dips and Carolina Dry Docks. Some of the PAX enjoyed the monogomous booyah relationships, while others ventured out with numerous partners with a few throuples tossed into the mix. Pax seemed to enjoy the ravelike glow around the field that led to premature finishes, leaving YHC to formulate additional COP. No worries.

Collect all the glow sticks and partner up for a triple check along the fence. Ab centric check included pole smokers and LBC’s. Timer runs 2/3 of the field and returns.

Mosey back to the virtual flag for 2 quick rounds of suicides at the courts followed by 3 minutes of Broga.

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

Announcements: SOJ leadership retreat tonight at Casa de Heisto near Satans Hill. Addresses and directions on Slack. Be there if you want to influence future ideas for NOS or SOS. Homegown Half Marathon launches this saturday 8/16 at 6 am from Robious Landing. Get your hills in with a 1/2 marathon, 10k run or 5k ruck (7 am launch for the ruck). Family and M’s are invited to participate. See slack for routes and deets. Travel to the Bridge with Upchuck and Bootleg on Saturday for an epic beatdown. Good travel and best breakfast in Central VA to those that attend.

Prayers: Thoughts and prayers to all those suffering from whatever ails you, specifically cancer which is affecting a few F3RVA families. Get yourself checked out if you are not feeling well. Prayers to those families going thru transitions with kids starting school or leaving the nest. Tough transitions are ahead but F3 can provide a strong support group, just ask someone if you are going thru tough times.

NMS: Great group today with sensational mumble chatter. Rosie may or may not have gone shoeless for todays events. Always encouraged at the plush turf. Thank you fellas for the opportunity to lead this morning. Always a privledge to start the day off with a beatdown and a smile.

11 sluggers posted to Huguenot Little League for another chance to drop bombs or hit dingers. It was dark so all had to endure 30 minutes of traditional bootcamp before stepping into the box for swings, but we made it work.

Mosey foul pole to foul pole and back again and circle up for COP in the plush, memory-foam outfield grass. Do some traditional warm-ups and stretching, then a Triple Check with the runner running pole to pole, 1 PAX doing a wall sit or pole smokers on the fence and the other doing a combo exercise of 4 merkins and 10 2-ct mountain climbers on repeat until the runner returns. 3 times through.

Traveling COPs through the outfield and then the main event.

We were able to go through the lineup twice. Many bombs were dropped. Some burpees were done. In the end, OC and Gumbo led the way with 3 HRs overall – 2 each in the first round and 1 in the second. I think almost everyone hit at least 1 bomb as well. More impressively, we had more than 1 hit the top of the fence and then go over, including one that bounced on the top of the fence twice.

Great time had by all. See you next year!

No More Gumbo For You!

No bear crawling was had but an FNG Packers fan got a new name here at No Toll. Welcome to the newest member of the Bill Swerski club “Ditka”. Machismo with cameos form Last Call had the Q this morning and YHC was glad for some of the audibles. Here’s what went on:

Warmarama: F3 mission statement: To plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership. Pop Quiz in front of our FNG what are the five core pinciples of F3 “Leave no man behind” = 10 Burpees Faith= 10 burpees. Finally Pax got out Free of charge, Open to all men, Outside rain or shine, Guys rotate the Q, and Ends in the COT. FORGE acronym credit to DTH. SSH, Merkins, Freddi Mercury, Peter Parkers, American hammers, UKs, ISWs and DQs were had.

Human conveyor belt started with 5 Australian mountain climbers then digressed to just holding balls to the wall as the last in line ran to the front circling the Tennis court by the water tower.

Next was 4 corners prostitute style with 10 merkins, 20 freddie Mercuries, 30 squats, 40 SSH.

Next was eye of the mericane at the pavillion with 25 of each Big Boy Situps, American Hammers, SSH, and monkey humpers (thanks Last Call for the popcorn mod).

Pleasure leading this morning good energy and movement even though YHC didn’t quite know what he was getting into with the human conveyors, and the peter parkers. Not hard to sweat in these temps. L woods and NTB looking for EHs for GTE Cary – if you haven’t done it YHC would recommend it. A brief search of slack returned no results for homegrown half for this year so YHC will have to trust pax announcements that is coming on the 16th out of Twin Team Robious Landing park.

YHC is looking forward the Snuff underground Q at the Forge Thursday.

Reflections were made on the sacrifices that the ancient Israelites made of their most precious gifts the lambs. I was reflecting on how much we are sacrificing to buy more time and giving more to Snuffs AI 2027 plan. We are relinquishing bits of humanity to the machine in order to gain a few minutes. I challenge you that as we gain moments of productivity let us look to continue to engage with our F3 brothers, coworkers, and family, and as the author of Romans 12:1 states, “offer your bodies as a living sacrifice.” SYITG. Machismo out.
