NMS:

The final week of hate has arrived. YHC turns 40 on Friday…and what better way to begin celebrating than by grabbing a few Qs this week. With Phase II in full force, it was great to see the No Toll numbers almost back to pre-quarantine levels. So awesome to see the return of the New Market clown car to No Toll…you fellas have been missed! YHC particularly missed Wilson’s mumblechatter.

If today’s Q wasn’t enough, YHC will be back for SOT, the Forge, and Twin Team this week.

Peace!

Let’s keep headlocking our Covid-Hybernating brothers into coming back out with us!!! SYITG, DTH

BTTF

Numbers / Names DTH took us out

NMS:

The extroverts of the PAX could not contain their socially distant selves when they saw DTH for the first time in what seems like forever, a hug or two was had and only the names have been changed to protect the guilty. Cooper apparently has no boundaries and will get in your social box whenever he feels like it. YHC knew it would be a fair amount of run today but wanted to explore some new areas of the AO. YHC would also like to cross the street to the old Toys-R-Us parking lot but that adds a good bit of run and less workout to the mix.

Nine fielders and a DH posted for Vinny Ball as things begin to open up and the return of major league baseball is imminent. Grab your can of lip and slap your finger, it’s time to Play Ball!

Warm-up lap around the first field then assemble for COP:

Willie Mays Hayes x 9 / Arm Circles Forward & Backward; Big and Little: all x 9 / Imperial Walkers x 9 / Helicopters x 15

Vinny Baseball: Home plate x 1 Heels to Heaven. Run to first base x 10 Burpees. Back to HP x 1 then back to 1B x 10. Then to 2B x 20 Chuck Norris Merkins. Back to 1B x 10 then back to HP x 1. Repeat all bases back to 3B for American Hammers (2-count) x 30. Back through the bases and repeat all the way around to HP for 40 (2-sets for a total of 80) Flutter Kicks (2-count).

Next: Bear Crawl from HP to 1B. Hold Elbow Plank for 2:00. Crab Walk from 1B to 2B. Hold 6 inches for 2:00. Lunges from 2B to 3B. Arm Claps for 2:00.

Mosey to back field for BP.

BP: Each player takes six cuts (3 from each side of the plate). Batter then calls out an exercise x 6.

We saw Burpees, Copperhead Squats, Spider Merkins, 6 dozen – thanks Tobit – LBCs, Walk-Off Merkins, HR Merkins, among others.

BTTF

Announcements: Everyone has chickens

Prayers: Handshake’s family lost their 12 year old pooch yesterday, unexpectedly. Remember all the good times brother, it’ll get easier.

NMS: As I wind down my time before our move to Charlottesville, it’s important that I continue to realize all that F3RVA means to me. Seeing my brothers out every morning is such a great way to be reminded. I know I haven’t been out much lately, my stupid feet, but the boost I get when I do get out, is just awesome! I was glad to see my No Toll brothers this morning. Even though, they might be the reason everyone has chickens.

Can’t wait to SYITG!

Five studs posted to No Toll to tour the fields, here’s how it went:

COP – Nope.

The THANG: Mosey with the Stars n Stripes to the lower parking lot, and do two laps (1 mile) around outer perimeter of fields. Plant the flag, then 20 minutes of 4 corners using the outer perimeter AMRAP:

1st corner: merkins x 20

2nd corner: jump squats x 20

3rd corner: burpees x 10 (x 20 if you’re a DaVillian)

4th corner: WWIIs x 20

Grab the flag, do two more laps (1 mile) and BTTCars.

Numberama, name-o-rama, YHC took us out.

Announcements: Prayers for Doozy’s mother in law and Sec Def Dexter Manley — both on the way back from COVID. Memorial Day Murph: Duece organizing main event at Dogpile (Rusty Cage) – 06:00 start; see him for deets. Other nano regions may convene remotely – see Hitchhiker/Bodos for Mary Munford; Phonics for DaVille.

SYTIG!

6 Young Studs arrived dressed in their Tuesday best for a Prom Date beatdown with the lush green fields at No Toll. Like many proms, most events were a bit hazy but this is what was recalled.

Mosey to the parking lot for quick warm up. SSH’s, Arm Circles, Reverso, Cherry Pickers, DQ’s, LBC’s, Inverted Scorpion Kicks. Everyone warm, lets hit the dance floor.

Mosey to the perfectly manicured green fields. Ideal condition for some slow dancing and soft whispers of anticipation. First Dance – 2 songs of 5 Points. Song 1 included the 80’s rock ballad of the following exercises 30 times in each corner of the field – Dips, WWII’s, Mountain Climbers, Jump Squats, Pickle Pounders. After each exercise rejoin your friends in the center of the floor for 3 burpees. Song 2 was a slow 90’s R&B number again of 30 count broken up by 3 burpees each time – Merkins, Dips, American Hammers, Monkey Humpers, Carolina Dry Docks. Shoes were left behind mangled in a pile, showing it was time to make the move.

Last Dance- lets pick up the pace a bit with some heavy metal 100’s. First person to 100 of each exercise calls out and PAX runs to the opposite field to find another dance partner. Rounds included Mountain Climbers, Monkey Humpers, SSH’s and the always popular calf raises (both in and out). We don’t discriminate at this party.

Time to treat her right, so we moseyed over to the parking lot for some 1 on 1 action. Partner up for Broad Jump Burpees between the curbs while partner runs. Round 2 was Polar Bear Merkins to get back to the room.

YHC was spent and just like in high school finished too early. Looking around at the disappointed faces, YHC had to think quick. No problem, back to the lush dance floor for a Merkin Ring of Fire. Doozy showed he still had the energy with Rocky Balboa’s.

Still time on clock and YHC went blank. Luckily Bone Thugs felt it was time for Hardywood to become a man, killer that is. Doozy led us and our already burning calves in the No Toll Mankiller tradition. Made it through 7 count and now BTTF for a long nap and happy thoughts.

Numbers / Names YHC took us out

NMS:

Its getting to be the usual suspects that show up at certain AO’s and we had what I would call a large group at No Toll today of 5. The PAX really seemed to like the parking lot merkins this morning at least thats what YHC was hearing. THC has been modifying the man killers to include burpees in between each set and today showed some real promise but YHC limited it to 5 because he wasn’t sure how bad it would get with increasing the burpee count after each set. YHC sees no reason the PAX can’t get to 10 in one adventure “note to self”.

5 bleary-eyed detectives picked up the Easter Bunny’s trail somewhere south of Robious. Trying to summon the little hopper with some kind of ridiculous rain dance including Don Quixotes, helicopters, imperial walkers, Russian soldiers and some other flailing nonsense disguised as a warmup. After a short plank we recovered to find that our exertions had in fact summoned a force even greater than the white rabbit: Bone Thug, dropped out of the sky like a teleporting legend quietly stealing the candy from baskets all over the south side.

The hophazard search for the golden egg continued across all 4 corners of the field, escalating from 20-30-40-50 mirkins, WW2s, flutterkicks and LBCs. With no Benjamin Bunny in sight, they went another round and quite by accident completed a mile.

Back in Mr. McGregor’s garden, a double check curb crawl / dips were paired with bear crawls / lunges. There were still some weeds in the radish patch so the group went one more round.

Driven to madness by the still-missing mythical creature, the detectives chose a darker rabbit hole: suicide-straddle hops across the entire parking lot, which continued until 6:15, at which point the collective hallucination ended and the men were able to get back to their daily quarantine, still half-believing that they had been visited by the hollowed-out shell of last year’s chocolate mold. Until next year…

5 socially distant warriors took to the lush fields to embark on a classic No Toll beatdown. YHC saw the Q was open and decided to step up and lead for the 1st time of his F3 journey. The moon was bright, temperature a cool 70 degrees and the fields laid with a dewy hue. Here is what is rumored to have occurred:

Mosey to parking lot for COP SSH, DQ’s, Helicopters, Arm Circles, Reversos, Cherry Pickers were served up warm. All looked good so lets move.

THE THANG

Exercise 1 – Mile warm up cause why not In honor of mile a day month, warmed up with 2 laps around the fields of Robious park at your own pace. Doozy was on pace to lap YHC twice if it was extended. Al Gore for the 6. Bone Thug joins in the fun so onto the pavilion

Exercise 2 – X Games YHC had been giving this exercise some thought and decided to try it out. Start at the soccer pavilion PAX runs to different corner to enjoy 4 helpings of 25 American Hammers (2x), Mountain Climbers (2x), WWII’s, Jump Squats. Between each exercise PAX returns to the pavilion for 25 dips on the benches. Doozy led the Plank for the 6.

Exercise 3 – Triple Check PAX pounded the X so YHC had to start thinking of the next step. Back to the parking lot for a triple check. Timer – runs the parking lot, Curb Crawl and Pole Smokers were the exercises of choice.

Exercise 4 – Ring of Mankillers Back out to the dewy field for a ring of fire. YHC threw a quick audible and decided on some Mankillers. Doozy led a 5 count. Followed by Merkin Ring of Fire. BTTF to complete the work out with LBC’s and Freddie Mercuries.

Great job by the PAX. Went a lot faster than YHC thought. Excited to get back on the Q sheet shortly.

Thoughts and prayers to Doozy and his mother in law along with Bone Thugs and his family as they are battling health concerns.

Was a great effort by all today. Everyday you don’t challenge yourself is an experience missed. Keep grinding and good things will come.
