Tag: NoToll

14 Regulars posted for a glorious NoToll workout on a perfect Midlothian morning. The workout was rumored to go something like this:

THANG

Slaughter Start: 10 burpees while Mr. Roper arrived

Mosey to larger parking lot for COP: SSHs, DQs, Ukranian Soldiers, Imperial Squat Walkers, Bob and Weaves, Dead Cockroaches, Hello Dollies, Capital Letters to spell out “Eagles vs Chiefs sucks”, Shoulder Taps

Mosey to soccer field for The Beast: Merkins, Monkey Humpers, Squats, LBCs, Flutter Kicks, 2 Burpees + 4 SSHs….with some Bear Crawls and Lunges mixed in, as well

Circle up for Around The World: Lunge in a stationary circle while listening to “Around the World” by Daft Punk….alternate by running around the circle, which quickly devolved into Duck, Duck, Goose….and OC took it a step further by playing his own version that was more like Goose, Goose, Goose

Mosey to bleachers and partner up for Triple Check: step-ups, shoulder taps, run width of field

Time called early to mosey back to Ellwoods shovel flag.

Number-Rama & Name-o-rama

COT – Rosie took us out.

Thanks for showing up after calling out for a “new” Q, NTB.

Frozen Triangle this Saturday

Reach out to friends in the St. Christophers, St. Catherines, and CCV communities following a freakish accident that resulted in the death of a woman YHC’s age. YHC actually knew Crandall as a middle and high schooler. She was walking back to her car Friday morning after being at the CCV gym and was struck by a car reversing out of the parking lot at very low speed. She fell and hit her head and did not survive. Very sadly, the driver knows her and her family very well. She was a mother of 3 older kids (2 high schoolers and 1 in college). Stay aware, folks…and look out for one another. This tragedy is just awful.

17 absolute freaking studs joined YHC for a romp around No Toll. YHC hasn’t had the best F3 attendance to start the new year. What better way to get back on the F3 horse, but to grab the Q? YHC can’t think of one.

Warm-a-rama: Jog a lap around the parking

• Side Straddle Hops
• Helicopters
• Merkins
• Updog…stretch out those caves
• Downdog…which YHC proposed renaming to Suck It, Dan Synder’s. Maybe it will stick. Maybe it won’t. The intent is there though.
• WWII’s

Thang 1: 15 minute AMRAP, Exercises were 30 Air Squats, 20 WWII’s, 10 burpees then run around the parking lot. Repeat this set until time called. YHC thinks most everyone got about 4 rounds in. This was not easy.

Thang 2: Triple Check: Dips, Merkins and a Run back and forth across the field.

Mozey to the basketball court for…

Thang 3: A burpee EMOM. After completing 3 burpees, run back and forth across the court. At the start of the next minute, 4 burpees and run back and forth across the court. We increased burpees until 10. This was a burner.

Circle up for some ab and glute work – WWII’s, APD’s, American Hammers and Crunchy Frogs.

Time Called.

YHC was thrilled to be back with this crew! What a great morning. Loved it! This workout was definitely different than the Twin Team vibe but every once in a while, you just need to kick your ass with a workout.

Prayers: Rosie’s cousin who is battling a heart condition after recovering from cancer.

YHC took us out.

Seven content creators took a freezing journey to the outer recesses of the TikTok algorithm with a music-fueled ban-worthy beatdown:

Started a minute early because who has time to sit around when it is 13 degrees.

Mosey to the back lot, stop and pay the toll with incline mirkins and dips.

33 SSHs, then grab a block and mosey around the lot. Ascending block curls at each parking space, then ascending block squats. Mosey around the lot. Chest presses then WW2s with the block. Mosey around the lot. Bear crawls dragging the block until DK figured out you could just slide with it. Rifle carry the block back to the pile.

Mosey to the field for some triple check action: dips and LBCs.

Mosey back to the basketball courts, pay the toll.

Circle up for the best TikTok dance of all time, Mankillers. Shoutout to the og influencer Last Call who reminded me how to do them.

9 gloom warriors posted to NoToll to close out 2024 in style – with an Old Glory. Most knew what was coming and came anyway. A few, including on DR visitor, didn’t know exactly what they were in for. Either way, 0530 cam and off we went to dodge the Recycling truck and get our work done.

Mosey to the back fields and around for 2 laps with OG in tow.

Plant OG in the front corner and set the 20-minute timer for large 4 corners – 1) 20 merkins, 2) 20 jump squats, 3) 10 burpees and 3) 20 WWIIs. Complete as many laps as you can in 20 minutes. GO.

COT, numbers, names and YHC took us out with reflections on 2024 and hope for 2025.

Announcement – New Year’s Day Convergence tomorrow 0700 at Dogpile.

No More Gumbo for 2024. Happy New Year men!

11 southern studs embraced the frozen tundra of NoToll, all pumped up for the Christmas musical beatdown promised by the good doctor. Here’s how these fine brothers wrapped the best kind of Christmas gift: 

The THANG:  Mosey over to the big parking lot, provide a brief welcome and disclaimer while Q’ing up the first song. After each song, run to the next stop (the PAX unwittingly outlining a Garmin map picture).

1. Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree (2:07) – SSH’s to the beat, and a Burpee for every “Christmas”
2. Jingle Bell Rock (2:11) – Mtn Climbers to the beat, Merkins for every “Jingle”
3. It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year (2:32) – Flutters to the beat, WWII for every “Wonderful”
4. This Christmas (3:52) – Squats to the beat, Burpees for every “This Christmas”
5. Here Comes Santa Claus (2:30) – Shoulder Taps to the beat, and a Groiner for every “Santa Clause”
6. You’re a mean one, Mr Grinch (2:57) – V-ups alternated with Supermans to the beat, switching (rolling) with each “Mr Grinch”
7. A Holly Jolly Christmas (2:16) – Monkey Humpers to the beat, with a Monkey Roll for every “Holly Jolly Christmas”
8. Run Rudolf Run (2:45) – SSH’s to the beat, with a Lt Dan for every “Run Run Rudolf”
9. Last Christmas (4:23) – variable movements for each of the 4 loops of the gift box ribbon bow – Bear Crawl, Lunge, Crab, Broadjump

Mosey BTTF and do a minute of Nancy Kerrigans to close out the 45min funtastic frozen sweatfest

COT:

• Counterama # 11
• Namerama
• Announcerama (see Below)
• BOM Prayer

Prayer Requests:

• Machismo shared about a neighbor who recently had a heart attack playing pickup football, and also mentioned SwipeRight (only ever posted once) who’s a couple years out from a heart attack. The reminder is that none of us can guarantee tomorrow – that every day we may be writing the last lines of our legacy. Let’s make each day count! 

NMS:  Awesome to have solid numbers out for a fun holiday music beatdown. The workout pattern outlined a Christmas Gift complete with ribbon and bow on top, though we clearly didn’t make our bow loops big enough. But extending those loops any bigger may have killed one of us.  Tough to have much mumble chatter getting through all 9 Christmas hits, but awesome coffeerama at Starbucks after! Heart is full, thank you brothers, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Yours AYE! ~DTH

Announcements (SEE SLACK!)

• DETAILS TBD FOR JAN 1 CONVERGENCE – stay tuned on Slack 

43 high impact men joined YHC in celebrating the season with another phenomenal time at NoToll this morning for the F3RVA award winning tradition of 12 days of Christmas. The morning started like any other with a mosey to the parking lot, introduction, welcome to the FNG, disclaimer, F3 Mission, and a few warmup exercises. No need for any additional work so we moseyed, some slower than others, over to the pavilion for the real fun. (Requests have been made for additional pavilion space and further drying of the southeastern field for next year, noted)

Over the years the exercises have changed slightly but they stayed the same between last year and this year. Oyster and EF Hutton remembered the days of dips and derkins, no longer possible due to lack of bench space. Crunchy frogs were added in as a staple at some point along the way but why change something that works, especially the burpees.

For those curious the exercises today were: 1 – Dozen (12) LBCs; 2-Sprints(mosey) across the field; 3-Diamond Merkins; 4-Imperial Squat Walkers; 5-Burpees; 6-Carolina Dry Docks; 7-Ball Dippers; 8-Hand-release merkins; 9-American Hammers; 10-Freddie Mercuries; 11-Crunchy Frogs; 12-Broad Jump Burpees. We had a pause after round 6 for some instructions on how to do an Imperial Squat Walker but otherwise the PAX was in tune and enthusiastic from the get go.

Close things out with a little Mary to finish at 0615 on the dot.

Thank you to the veterans of the 12 days – some quick/unofficial Big Data research has Doner Kebab as the only 10 time finisher with Hardywood and EF Hutton close behind with 9. Welcome to those first timers and our FNG Dookie – it was too easy and quick once he answered Gomer’s first concert question. Hope he makes it back out.

Announcements:

• Rudy and Futon are running a CFB Playoff pool – see Slack for details, you have until Friday
• Gomer Pyle and Pigskin are raising funds for mission trips to Honduras
• Tin Man VQ Thursday at the Forge for his 50th Bday!!
• Flatline is doing his own research to help out a supply chain experienced veteran but would welcome some help

Another year, another energizing morning during the holiday season with the men of F3RVA. I cannot tell you all how much it means to have everyone show up and join me for the 12 days. Hard to believe this is the 10th episode of this and it’s still going strong.

Thanks to EF Hutton for organizing the Secret Santa Gift Exchange again, that was another hit. DK’s bucket of dongs and calendar from Belay wins for best gift. Remember for next year, dongs are always funny. Have a great day, happy holidays to all. See you in the gloom.

Everything is coming up Rosie.
