A platoon of seven HIM’s buried the hatchet into a 3 mile ruck where we explored Bon Iron, went off road, walked the railroad tracks a ways, jumped off tracks and onto a surprise trail, then off trail and over creeks, up hill and down dale, and once back on the roads of Bon Air, we concluded with a neighborhood loop. Our beloved 60 pound sandbag was shared around during the ruck, but the real highlight was coffeerama afterwards discussing the first chapter of Atomic Habits at Einstein Bagels. So let’s go ahead and throw out every idea of setting…
Hot Tater. El Heisto warmed em up. Threw Q to Murr. We grabbed coupons. Did a few rounds of exercises under cover of clubhouse area (curls, squats, etc). Futon suggested “bus drivers” an exercise with coupons, which was tough. Run to playground a few times. Q tossed to Kenny G, channeling his inner Flyboy with exercises based on 100 less your age. LBCs, run to playground for stepups, run back pavilion for Flutters. Kenny G then took the coupons to the parking lot for several rounds of coupon farmer carry while partner does exercises (burpees, squats, merkins). Switch. Futon finished…
Excellent cool weather for the latest edition of Morning Wood. House Party and I hit the streets with our ruck sacks at 6am and got in some miles. Big Rig was already running upon arrival and ventured down to the Genito Road Corridor. He joined us for the last 15 minutes or so. Post-workout survey suggested that a good time was had by all.
Eleven men showed up for a beautiful Saturday morning at Rockwood Park. Temps were cool and perfect for a beatdown to kickoff another fall football weekend. Promptly at 7, the Eleven PAX moseyed their way to the basketball court for the standard warmarama. 1st COP Suicides Walking Lunges forward 10 merkins Bernie back Repeat with Broad jumps 15 werkins Bernie back 2nd COP Indigenous People Lunge Walk, PAX in the back does 3 burpees and runs to the front until PAX gets to the big parking lot. 3rd COP Ab 4 Corners Prostitute Style 20 LBCs 40 Oblique LBCs 60…
zombies met up at Swift Creek Middle to go on the road for some easy miles. This week’s IPC was already a speed workout, so no speed work this week, and no need to double up on Thursday. Always great to catch up with Boberry!
Did you know that an Apache Helicopter’s chin mounted autocannon is slaved to the gunner’s helmet. So wherever the gunner looks, the gun points. The PAX came out to The Old Hundred for a beatdown and, unbeknownst to them, a lesson in helicopters. Speaking of which, did you know a helicopter can land safely even with a complete engine failure. It is called autorotation. After a quick mosey around the parking lot, we started with Side Straddle Hops, helicopters (of course), Dead Man Hang into cherry pickers, and then got to know a couple of wives before getting to it.…
13 men gathered at No Toll for an animal-themed workout, courtesy of L. Woods with inspiration from the F3 Nation Exicon. It began with a “crab vs. bear” soccer match, which resulted in the Q getting beamed in the head and side. From there, the PAX suffered through duck & weave, gorilla crawl stations, and a Tunnel of Love. Lesson learned: sometimes the Exicon should stay in the Exicon. Warmerama: Side straddle hops, ukranian soldiers, imperial walkers, cherry pickers, LBCs, freddie mercuries, alabama prom dates Pay the toll- 20 incline merkins, 20 dips COP 1: Warmup: side straddle hops, Ukrainian…
Warm-Up 530 on the dot. Looked around with pride at a group of 16 HIMs who fought the urge to fartsack and week 1 football temptations. Quick mosey. Circle up for the “social media algorithm” routine (worth a try): Hop in place Body waves Arm swings Trunk twists (golf swings) Dead-arm swings March in place Stretch what you need for 30 seconds. The Thang Mailbox Burpees – Line up along Graythorne. One burpee for each mailbox on the right. Plank-o for the six. (Plenty of mailboxes!) DORA at Alvecote Terrace (modern home cul-de-sac) – All ab work: 100 LBCs 200…
Enjoyed rucking a few miles around Rockwood with HP sharing all sorts of real life stories. Big Rig ran for the first half then joined the conversation. Finished up in time to COT and stretch before the musical beatdown. Always a pleasure gents! ~DTH
