Roper’s impromptu VQ?
Shakedown’s FNG brother?
Hot poultry taeks from Döner Kebab?
EF HUTTON batting for the old school corporate cycle?

What else could you want out of a 530AM workout?!? I LOVE THIS GAME.

NAKED MOLESKINE

Eight mighty oaks posted in the chilly spring air for a very special and extra gloomy Spring Break version of NoToll.

Your Humble Correspondent has been keeping a low profile around NoToll ever since he rolled up in his Subaru muscle car and pulled a switchblade on a Tuckahoe Soc a few months back. That’s how we Greasers roll! Sodapop Rosie and the rest of the Greasers say the coast is clear for YHC, so it was time to get back into the flow at NoToll.

Upon getting out of YHC’s car, the parking lot was emptier than normal. Noticeably absent were New Market Git-R-Duns who chose not to participate in this morning’s rumble. Sigh. Nothing Gold Can Stay.

When it was clear that no one had signed up to Q today -after some prodding – Mr. Roper jumped in and picked up his VQ! Way to go, Roper!

Even though there was but eight NoTollers today, the mumblechatter was strong, specifically during the COP when Roper had the oh-so-typical counting woes that plague so many of the PAX in their first forays into Q-land, YHC included. That said, for a VQ, Roper did a solid job of keeping the PAX moving and sucking wind.

Welcome FNG Ponyboy! Ponyboy is the brother of Shakedown and as he said in the parking lot prior to the workout. “I decided to come check out this thing to get my brother to shut up about F3!” Solid EHing, Shakedown, solid EHing.

Please use the comments to remind YHC how Ponyboy got the name. Because he’s Shakedown’s brother? YHC has never seen The Outsiders, although he’s seen all the Brat Pack films which spawned from this classic. YHC was pulling for “DaVinci” because it sounds like he’s had 20 careers in as many years.

After the workout five of the PAX retired for a Coffeeteria at Starbucks. Stay tuned because Shakedown will probably post 200 selfies today on Facebook of him building his chicken coop since he took off work. Of interest to YHC was some hot New York Jets NFL Draft talk. Also, YHC learning that he talked with Ponyboy two years ago via phone and email when he inquired about the UofR Brewer’s Certificate Program in the school of continuing ed.  Someday YHC will become a master brewer!

Stay gold, PAX, stay gold.

YCH was first on scene this morning, 0519, which means “Big Blue” is at Spider Run….I think. 11 PAX members posted for, what always has the potential to be comical,  a Flatline Q. 9 members at 0530 with 2 arriving late. Mosey to the parking lot at soccer fields!

COP- YHC had in his head to start with helicopters but called out windmills. Than started performing helicopters….DAM, YHC could not get through 1 exercise without f–cking up the COP. Comical from the very get go!! OK reset…..first exercise is helicopters x 13. Imperial Walkers x 15. SSH x 17, LBC x 19. Merkins x 15. Mosey to end line of first soccer field.

Modified Partner Barrow. Partner up for wheelbarrows, length of soccer field. Partner 1 walks as far as possible and when he stops, both partners perform 25 PLT (partner leg toss). Switch and repeat to the other end line. Rosie and Tobit motored across the field and Roscoe and Marmaduke performed several more rounds of PLT than Rosie and Tobit. BUT, Marmaduke WAY TO FINISH walking on your knuckles!!! Respect my friend.  YHC was odd man out so YHC bear crawled and knee bent his way across the field with every 10 steps performing 10 merkins. When finished switch partners and repeat exercise but when a PAX member stopped, this time 25 mountain climbers together. There was some racing in the last 50 yards and if you ain’t bumping you ain’t racing!  Mosey to grass in front of the bleachers. Rosie, Hardywood, and Marmaduke=RESPECT!

SUPER 21……several months ago, YHC tried this OYO with epic fail….lost count, exercises were wrong, slightly poor leadership and audible called for another exercise. This am, super 21 was IC with YHC leading. PAX members asked to spreadout and here you go….1 merkin (IC), 1 situp (OYO); 2 merkin (IC), 2 situps(OYO); 3(IC) merkin, 3 situps(OYO) till we had reached 21 merkins(IC), 21 situps(OYO). Rosie asked for a break at round 15 with a lap around the parking lot. Glad to oblige!! This took up the majority of No Toll’s morning!! And yes, this exercise is in the exicon on F3 site!! BOOM DONE!!

With 3 minutes to spare, mosey to end line of soccer field for AYG field sprint to the other side!!!

Mosey back to parking lot. Number-ama, Name-r-ama, Announcements….Labrat’s family could use all the prayers we can send! Marmaduke may be expanding his family next week so PAX members wished him well. SOJ CSAUP sign up list for grub, fluid, snacks, bag balm, etc is getting ready for distribution. Heads up SOJ!!

YHC took us out!

NMS-lots of mumble chatter at No Toll this am. Mr. Roper was slightly late with Flashdance showing up at his regular time looking like……….you guessed it, Cat burglar!!! YHC still has not mastered the COP! Mr. Roper does not wear a watch to post. He politely asked to be notified when 0600 was upon us….and off he went. YHC was going to hot potato the Q this am, maybe next time.

Mr. Roper informed the PAX that he was a lesbian in a man’s body. And yes, he drives a 4runner!! Coincidence…….maybe. And, Shakedown has visited Babe’s several times-maybe more than he wants to admit. And yes, Shakedown drives a 4runner too!! Roscoe seemed confused when Shakedown spoke of Babe’s. YHC politely asked, “Lip Stick or Chap Stick lesbian.” No Response! Mr. Roper had a shirt once that said, “Drink till she’s cute.” YHC did too…..rat year at ring figure!! PAX members…..bad night for YHC!!!

SUPER 21….way to finish, get it all out, and be super!! Arm explosive workout men. Flashdance, when your well goes dry, DIG DEEPER!!! Perfectly said Hardywood!! YHC believes 287 merkins, and 287 situps. YHC is not good with exponentials; Big Data can you confirm the number? Gentlemen, thank you for following this am and finishing Super 21!!

YHC’s day off to a BOOM start and God Bless! Only those who post understand!!

Loud and Proud!!

YHC was very glad to see 2 other PAX members upon arrival. Thanks for making the effort, guys.

Total audible for entirety of workout thanks to frozen hard surfaces.

Tracks in the snow are clear evidence that you’re not running in a straight line.

YHC is sure he’s missed something here, but it was worth the slow trip to the AO.

Announcements:
Something about a CSAUP running between RVA AOs during Chickahominy Nation Y Princess campout

YHC was thinking about this workout on Monday with the intentions of getting Oyster and Mr. Roper involved with the Q. YHC arrived this morning with a twinkle of light coming from the soccer fields, quickly realizing that Swirly, Gumbo, and Rosie were earning extra credit with a run. With a few minutes before 0530 and no Oyster or Mr. Roper, there were still a few PAX members who could assist with the Q. 0530..time to Mosey.

COP- Don Quixote, Invisible Jump Rope(fail), Copperhead Squats, Imperial Walkers, Flutter kicks, Freddie Mercuries, and Booya Merkins….all with varying reps.

Mosey to soccer field for Modified 11’s….Merkins on one side, V-ups on the other side. Start with 1 merkin and run to other side of the field for 10 v-ups. Run back across the soccer field, 2 merkins than back across soccer field for 9 v-ups. Repeato until 10 merkins and 1 v-ups completed. Q handed over to Honeymoon.

Off PAX went from soccer field all the way to entrance of Huguenot Park (never been this close to Robious) and back to edge of soccer field and turn around again, running to basketball court. Honeymoon believes PAX needed miles for CSAUP.  At basketball court, sprints were called out but Honeymoon meant suicides. After one suicide, Q handed over to Hardywood.

Progressive 4 Corners was called by Hardywood. Corner 1, x5 burpees and run to corner 2. Corner 2, x10 hand release merkins but Corner 1 first than Corner 2. Mosey to Corner 3 for x20 Mark Spitz (on your six, head up, arms up, and flutter kicks, 2 count) but start with Corner 1 exercises than Corner 2 exercises than Corner 3 exercises. Mosey Corner 4, x 30 SSH but with a twist (x 15 on L leg, x 15 on R leg) but first Corner 1->Corner 2->Corner 3->finish with Corner 4. Plank while waiting for PAX to finish. Mosey to white line for Crawl Bears down the court and plank. Q hand over to Rosie. Rosie had approx. 5 mins to entertain the PAX.

YHC heard Rosie’s exercises referred to Honeymoon Suite……ie circle up for following exercises. Rosalita’s, Dora’s, Heals to Heaven, Alabama Prom Date’s, Peter Parker’s,  and several more that YHC cannot remember at this point in the morning.

Times up…Number-ama, Name-r-ama, and Announcements. Congratulations to TYA for ONE HELL OF A JOB. RESPECT!!!  Few people can say they have run 100 mile race!!

YHC took us out! As Gumbo said, “Get it all out.” YHC said, “I thought it was.”

NMS–Winklevoss, way to push this morning! Keep working at it and the workouts will feel better!!! Honeymoon, were you confused that No Toll might be Spider Run but definitely more straight!!! PAX members, please check out Peedmont.com…..definitely worth the read. Hardywood…Progressive 4 Corner-good call! Rosie…..outstanding work!

Way to work this morning!!! The support from you guys over the past 2 weeks is awesome. I am blessed to call you my friends! These workouts are the perfect way to start the morning. Only those who post understand!!

Loud and Proud,

NMS-

Ill make it short and sweet do to a busy schedule today.  YHC was eager to get back out today after a long hiatus, and appreciates the PAX putting up with the lingering cough throughout the morning.  Great to meet and see WinkleVoss out this morning.  The PAX thought we lost him after the second round of 4 corners but it was just a morning routine that caught up with him.  He made it back and crushed the rest of the workout, way to push!  This lead to Flashdance describing what all is required for his morning routine to take place.  Its quite the process, and I will leave it at that.  Great work by all, thanks to Swirly and Sugar for  pushing me on the triple check.  Hope to see you SOJers at Gumbo’s SOT beatdown tomorrow.  Always a pleasure to lead this group, have a great day and hug your loved ones gents!

Marmaduke!

 

 

18 strong attacked No Toll this morning and here is how it went down.

Mossy to the field for COP : SSH’s, Helicopters, Windmills, IW’s, Merkins, Flutter Kicks, LBC’s

Partner Up : partner 1 run the filed and back – partner 2 begin exercises. 3 exercises complete as a team. 300 dips, 200 incline merkins, 100 decline merkins.

Mossy – Partner Up: 3 sets of 10 BoYah Merkins and 3 sets of  10 pole smokers.

Indian Run – across all of the fields over to the tennis court.

Tennis Court : Partner up – Wheelbarrow baseline to baseline switch it up – 2 times each.

Burppee Shuffle :  1 burpee each pax member around the circle while shuffling feet.

Ring of Fire : 10 hand release merkins – pax holds plank position

Mary : Cross leg Lifts , APD’s – 6 inches

The scoop : YHC realized this morning on the way to the AO that it had been almost 2 years since Qing No Toll. Hard to believe it’s been that long… It has been great to be back @ No Toll over the last month. Thanks to the pax for allowing YHC to lead this morning it was a pleasure.. YHC is not fancy with his Q’s – YHC simply just goes right at it – not alot of flair or special  themes to go along with the workout – so it may not be as entertaining as some other Q’s but hopefully the pax was glad they came out this morning because they got themselves a workout !!

Great to see 18 out at No Toll…. Let’s follow DK’s lead and reach out to some of the guys we have not seen in a while and encourage them to get back out there.. Let’s continue to keep our brother Flatline in our thoughts and prayers at this time. Remember to sign up for the CSAUP… If your interested in helping with Breaking bread – get with Kubota – he’s got the lead on the next one. If you are interested in helping with The healing place run after Dogpile  – check with Honeydo, or Upchuck..

Thanks to Flashdance for taking us out today. Great work guys way to push – feeling it in my shoulders!!!

Lots of laughs and mumblchatter this morning directed at my inability to count cadence, remember what I’m doing, and all that – add in a text from home about a sick kid (only had my phone as a timer – good timing ) and you had a distracted Q this morning.  Contrary to several questions, this was not my first time… lol

Good times with good men – thanks guys

 

 

YHC pulled into the AO and spotted Big Blue and Rosie’s Pathfinder…finally, after two solo workouts (at least at the start), today there would be fellowship in the gloom.  Who am I kidding, its NoToll – other cars rolled in as 0530 approached, including a visitor from Hickory, NC (welcome back Tater Hole) and a clown-less clowncar from New Market (huh?).  The watch struck 0530 and, as Flatline would say, BOOM –

Mosey to the back parking lot for COP, all IC including:

• SSHs
• DQs
• Copperhead Squats
• Imperial Walkers
• Merkins
• LBCs
• Flutter Kicks

THE THANG:

Part II – those who were at 45MOM last week, knew this was coming – repeato with each exercise x20 – GO!

Bench-work Dora

Mosey to the pavilion and partner up.  One partner runs across the field and back while the other performs exercises.  Together, add up to the following:  50 box jumps or step-ups; 100 Derkins; 200 Dips

Field Work

Find a new partner and start with 25 PLTs each in front of the pavilion, then wheelbarrow across the field to the other side (either one guy goes all the way or switch as needed — Swirly KILLED it all the way across).  At the other side, 25 more PLTs each and then wheelbarrow back across (YHC almost spilled merlot — is that a bonus or a penalty if you do it to yourself??)

APDs as a PAX to catch our breathe

Court Work and MARY

Mosey back to the basketball court and line up on the fence.  20 Donkey-Kicks OYO, then Bearcrawl across the first court to the middle area and perform 20 box cutters, then bearcrawl back to the fence.

Hello Dollies IC

COT, Number-rama, Name-a-rama and YHC took us out.

Announcements:

• 10K Training for the men at the Healing Place.  We heard that the first week went well.  Let’s get 2-4 guys out every Saturday to help these men train to destroy the 10K.  See Honeydo or Upchuck for details but basically it is right after Dogpile.

NMS:

It was brisk this morning but we got warmed up with the Evolution of the Burpee.  Not too much mumblechatter and NONE immediately after the wheelbarrows – damn that hurt.  YHC was gasping for air and nearly plowed the field with is face a couple times.  Way to push through fellas.  Thanks for letting me lead today.  I am always honored to lead such a fine group of men.

Tater Hole – thanks for joining us.  Much respect for killing it today.  You are welcome in F3RVA any time and we hope to see you back soon.

Own the day men!

No more Gumbo for you!

YHC arrived to No Toll this morning with no set plan and more a personal challenge to Q on the fly–sorta! Big Blue was there and YHC immediate thought…don’t f–k up and draw a blank. Rosie’s SUV had lights planted right on an owl, in the grips of breakfast or dinner-owls are nocturnal correct? 8 regular SOJ men and one geographical SOJ man were ready for a tactical, on the fly Flatline Q.

0530-BOOM…10 Burpees to start. Mosey to the parking lot at soccer fields for COP: Arm Circles x 15, 10 small, 5 big. Forward than reverse. Well actually 16 forward….oops! Don Quixote x 15, Copperhead Squats x 15, Imperial Walkers x 15, LBC x 15, Flutter kicks x 15, and Merkins x 10. Recover and mosey around first soccer field for one lap to assess the fields. No Fields Closed Sign, Marv. Good to go! Back to the corner of parking lot.

Triple Check- One partner runs to the gate, one partner performs mountain climbers, one partner performs SSH.

Mosey to the soccer field for YHC original, The Lawn Service! Run the length of the field, perform SSH for 60 seconds. Than run length of the field again, perform SSH for 50 seconds, and repeato with interval time decreasing by 10 seconds each time to 0. YHC likes interval running and a great way to warm the body while the snow was falling! Mosey to the basketball courts.

Doracides-partner up! First exercise- one partner runs suicides, other partner performs arm circles and switch till 200 arm circles completed. Repeat for second exercise-flutter kicks for a total of 300 and repeat for third exercise-400 SSH. Perfect timing cuz when PAX was finished, time had expired! Mosey back to parking lot.

Number-ama, Name-r-ama.

Announcements: Honeydo and Upchuck are assisting The Healing Place with 10K training team. Please see them to help out! CSAUP, so get on a team!

YHC took us out!

NMS: Swirly, Dogpile would have been nearly impossible! Rosie has shaved his face clean…bald eagle style. Evidently, Rosie and M.Rosie are getting ready for a trip! Oyster, way to push it during Lawn Service. Working out during a snow storm always seem to be a perfect way to start the am! Outstanding work this am gentlemen.

Your dedication and willing to follow YHC Q is much appreciated! The hope, perseverance, an ability to make impossible possible shown by this group of men is a blessing in my life. YHC thanks God everyday for F3! Only those who show up understand!

Loud and Proud!
