Midlothian Middle

  • The Bearimeter is a Keeper

    4 SOJ regulars arrived to SOT with no Q signed up. Solution: Hot Potato that went something like this:

    THANG

    Döner Kebab on Q

    COP – SSH, Russian Soldiers, Imperial Walkers, DQs, Copperhead Squats

    Mosey to bus loop for Side Curb Crawls / Conveyor Belt, left then right

    Mosey to front of school and partner up for 1/2 Dora: as a team complete 50 merkins, 100 WWIIs, 150 Squats while 1 runs front school loop

    McRib on Q

    Mosey to side of school and partner up for SOT Love Hill: Polar Bears, Forward Lunges, Burpee Broad Jumps

    Mosey to basketball courts for 4 Corners with a Twist: 10 merkins, 20 LBCs, 30 Mtn Climbers, 40 Freddy Mercuries + 1 burpee at each baskeball net. Rinse and Repeat, increasing each to be a factor of 15.

    Mosey to main bus loop and partner up for Partner Bearimeter: Bear Crawl entire bus loop, while 1 partner runs the loop

    Johnsonville on Q

    Mary: partner for 25 PLTs each, 1 legged APDs each side, regular APDs, American Hammers

    COT – Johnsonville took us out

    Nake Moleskin:

    It was great having Johnsonville out to SOT. Welcome back…and don’t stay away.

    Where was the New Market crew?

    McRib was inspired by NoToll’s Bearimeter…and doubled down. Holy cow.

    After a November of Gumbo, sadly, Gumbo never got called to Q the Hot Potato in December.

  • Leftover Gumbo Warmed the Soul on the Frozen SOT Tundra

    8 SOJ regulars posted to SOT this morning maybe expecting slightly warmer temperatures, but once you cross through the gate toward the football field of broken dreams, you are always entering a dark polar vortex, and today was no different.  Today’s beatdown went like this:

    Mosey around the bus loop and back to the small parking lot to pick up McRib (new wheels but still LIFO) for COP, all IC, including:

    • SSHs x30
    • DQs x10
    • Helicopters x10
    • Imperial Walkers x15
    • Arm Circles x15 (10 small, 5 large) – forward and backward
    • Merkins x10
    • LBCs x20 (or so I think – the revving of bus engines made it hard to hear)

    THANG:

    Merkin/Jump Squat Lindsay’s on the track – mosey through the polar vortex to the track and form up at the near end to start the Lindsay’s with 30 Merkins and 10 Jump Squats – run around the track to the other end for 25 Merkins and 15 Jump Squats — continue around until finishing with 10 Merkins and 30 Jump Squats.

    Let’s Try These Proper Dora’s Again – mosey to basketball courts and partner up for proper dora’s (sort of).  The exercises were 1 Burpee, 2 WWII situps, 3 Merkins.  Complete 50 while taking turns running the length of the courts and back.

    1-minute Wall Plank – mosey to the side of the school and wall plank – starting in regular plank and moving to wall plank and back to regular plank continuously for 1 minute.

    Curb Lunge – Derivation of curb crawls but YHC’s shoulders were smoked by the merkins and planks so far, so forward lunge across to the other curb, perform 1 2-count ball dipper, backward lunge back, 2 2-ct ball dippers….up to 5 and back down to 1.

    ROF Rosie Style – mosey back to the flag and do the Rosie ROF – starting in Al Gore, drop for 10 merkins, hold plank, when it comes back around to you 10 more merkins and back to Al Gore.

    3 MOM, including:

    • Hello Dollies x15
    • Freddie Mercuries x15
    • American Hammers x10

    COT, Number-Rama, Name-a-Rama and YHC took us out

    Announcement — HDHH at Soon to be Marv’s tonight at 5:00.  https://backblasts.f3rva.org/2017/11/20/hdhh-weds-after-tgiving/

    NMS:

    Suffice it to say that the SOJers are tired of the November menu of Gumbo, but the PAX pushed through strong today.  YHC wasn’t satisfied with the last attempt at Proper Doras, so he brought it back….STILL SUCKED!  Burpees add to the misery nicely.

    Unofficial count of Merkins was 215 (assuming you did 1/2 of the merkins in the Proper Doras), individual counts may vary.

    Strong work men!  Thanks for letting me lead so much this month, it has been a pleasure.  I’m taking the show across the river to 45MOM tomorrow to close out November strong!

    No more Gumbo for you!

  • We are Half PROPER at SOT

    7 hearty souls looking for an excuse to consume a little extra tomorrow posted to SOT for a Thanksgiving appetizer of Gumbo, it tasted a little like this:

    Mosey around the bus circle and form up for COP in the adjacent parking lot, including the following exercises all IC:

    • SSHs x20
    • DQ x10
    • Helicopters x10
    • Imperial Walkers x20
    • Arm Circles (sorry Flashdance) – 10 small, 5 large – forward then backward
    • Merkins x20
    • LBCs (nice and wet and cold) x20

    THE THANG-

    The Suck – six exercise locations – each on a parking spot line with two parking spots in between for the transition.  7th PAX member was the rabbit timer who ran around the bus loop.  While rabbit was running, the exercises were AMRAP as noted below.  When rabbit returned and called switch, each PAX member bearcrawled to the next location and the person at Spot 6 became the new rabbit.

    • Spot 1 – merkins
    • Spot 2 – jump squats
    • Spot 3 – SSHs
    • Spot 4 – Flutter Kicks
    • Spot 5 – Mountain Climbers
    • Spot 6 – Monkey Humpers

    Proper (for SOT) Dora – After reading about the proper Dora routine a few times lately, YHC wanted to give it a try.  The PAX mosey around the school to the main entrance and formed up on the steps in pairs.  Each pair completed 100 proper Doras (1 WWII, 2 Merkins and 3 Jump Squats in sequence = 1 Proper Dora).  One partner exercised while the other ran the loop around the faculty parking lot and returned to pick up count where  the other left off.

    AUDIBLE DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS – Half Proper Dora and Half Lazy Proper Dora.  After reaching 50 as described above, each PAX member completed 25 additional Proper Doras and the run was eliminated (NOTE to PAX – I think this actually made it harder).

    Quick Curb Crawl – Mosey back to our favorite curb spot at SOT with the most jagged and sharp asphalt in Richmond for a quick curb crawl up to 3 and back down to 1.

    4x4s – Mosey back to the flag for 1 minute of 4x4s – starting with arms up above your head, drop down to a plank (burpee style), complete 4 merkins, then 4 two-count mountain climbers, then thrust back up to starting position (again, burpee style) — all that equal 1 4×4.  AMRAP for 1 minute.

    American Hammers – Finish with 1 minute of American Hammers

    COT, Number-rama, Nama-a-Rama and McRib took us out with great words of thanks!

    Announcements:

    • 60MOM convergence at Mary Munford tomorrow 0600-0700 with coffee afterwards.
    • 0700 Late Show at Circus Maximus
    • HDHH at Soon to be Marv’s Casa – hosted by TYA (Lally Construction) next Wednesday – see pre-blast about it
    • Breaking Bread this Sunday – Hardywood has the Q – reach out if you can lend a hand

    NMS –

    Great morning over at SOT this morning, though at 0525 YHC was sitting alone in the parking lot thinking of the glorious backblast he was going to write about a Single Serving of Gumbo while he remained in the warmth of his vehicle if nobody posted — of course he would wait the requisite time to post the BB to make it plausible that the grueling beatdown actually happened…then, just like the rude interruption of a perfectly good dream, Cerrano and Honeymoon rolled in and their car lights shook YHC from his fantasyland.  YHC wiped the drool from his chin and proceeded with the actual planned beatdown.

    It was great to see Cliffhanger back out in the gloom with his dad — Rosie, Cliffhanger should be taller than you by the time the light returns to the gloom this Spring.  Way to push through a tough upper-body heavy workout Cliffhanger — enjoy and extra piece of pie!

    Apologies go out to the PAX for delaying the inevitable “on your six” for us to get wet and embrace the wonderful gloom this morning.  I know the suspense was worse than the event.  And always, getting wet is worse than being wet.  That wet asphalt was cold!

    Quick aside – Bobber’s stache is looking SWEET!

    Strong work by all this morning.  Thanks for posting (sort of) and thanks for letting me lead again!

    See you all tomorrow or, if not, have safe travels and a Happy Thanksgiving

    No more Gumbo for you…this week!

  • A whole lot of GROSS at SOT

    9 SOJers who are probably tired of Gumbo being on the Q menu showed up this morning at SOT in the frosty temperatures anyway, and YHC appreciated it.  To show that appreciation, we enjoyed the following:

    The dictionary definition of “gross” includes, among other expected definitions, the following:

    • noun: an amount equal to twelve dozen; 144 (i.e., “fifty-five gross of tins of processed milk”)

    Who says F3 isn’t educational….back to the beatdown…

    Mosey over to the frozen tundra of the track and football field and continue one lap around the track (it just gets colder and darker once you cross through that gate).

    Congregate in the asphalt area at the end of the track for instruction.

    The order of the day was THE GROSS – 12 exercises, 12 repetitions of each, then 1 lap around the track and plank or Al Gore for the six = 1 Gross Round.  The PAX dominated and 4 full rounds were completed.

    Round 1 Exercises:

    • Merkin
    • SSHs
    • Imperial Walkers
    • Werkins
    • Copperhead Squats
    • DQs
    • Merkins
    • LBCs
    • Flutter Kicks
    • Werkins
    • Box Cutters
    • Freddy Mercuries

    Round 2 Exercises = same as Round 1 except DQs became 12 Burpees OYO and Flutter Kicks became Arm Circles (6 forward, 6 backward)

    Rounds 3 and 4 YHC was feeling generous and dished out dealers’ choice for the PAX with the exception that YHC maintained the choice of Merkins, Werkins, Merkins and Werkins for exercises 1, 4, 7 and 9 in each round.  Had to get to 200 merkins somehow. Dealers’ choice exercises included, monkey humpers, overhead claps, high knees and other repeats from rounds 1 and 2.

    After the fifth and final lap around the track, we had 5 minutes of Mary – started with the remaining 8 merkins to get to 200 and Hello Dolly called by YHC x 20 IC.  Dealers’ choice after that, including Crunchy Frogs from Rosie, Cross Leg Lifts from A5 in honor of Wilson, WWIIs by Marmaduke and other exercises around the horn.

    Sprint back to the flag for COT, Number-Rama, Name-A-Rama and YHC took us out.

    Announcements:

    • HDHH tonight 7:30 (or 1930) at Sedona Taphouse at Westchester
    • Turkey Day — several trots or waddle runs available for those who want them.  There will be no Timberwolf workout as SOJers will converge on 45MOM for a TYA (New England) Thanksgiving beatdown followed by coffee from our resident Barista – Hardywood.  Be there if you can be!

    NMS:

    Another semi-ground and pound from YHC this morning.  I can’t remember what I was listening too last night on my drive home but the term “gross” came up and was used in the context I gave above and it reminded YHC of this exercise routine that he broke out last October for COP at SOT.  Don’t ask me how I got from there to “hey, how about a whole workout of Grosses…” but that is what happened.  I hope everyone got a sweat rolling even in the frigid temps.

    It was great to see Carmen back out and riding shotgun in the Hallsley clown car.

    Roscoe asked about a chiropractor so the PAX mentioned Dr. Flipper of course, and we let Roscoe know he could shed 20 pounds with Dr. F as well – or, if he is Bleeder, he might shed a small child.  The referral fee can be donated to F3 Corporate Flip-dog!

    Have a great day men!

    No more Gumbo for you!

  • A Tribute to DOC Halladay…

    An apropos 9 posted to SOT this morning for a tribute to Roy “Doc” Halladay – a great MLB pitcher (and by all accounts a great guy and one of the hardest working guys in baseball) who died yesterday in small plane crash at 40.  Our small tribute went something like this:

    Mosey to the windy front of the school for COP, including:

    • 2 Burpees OYO for each of Doc’s Cy Young Awards
    • 27 SSHs IC and 49 LBCs for Doc’s 2,749 Innings pitched in the major leagues
    • 16 Merkins for Doc’s 16-year career
    • 21 Imperial Walkers IC and 17 Copperhead Squats IC for Docs 2,117 Strikeouts

    THANG

    9 Innings — Doc was known for his durability and for throwing 67 career complete games

    Each PAX found a bench in front of the school and completed 9 rounds of the following

    • 3 Derkins
    • 3 Merkins
    • Run a Lap around the parking lot

    Mosey to the side of the school for some “Lazy” Triple Checks

    Round 1 – the counter was the Merkins and as a group of 3 we completed 203 merkins – 1 for each of Doc’s wins in the majors.  Other two PAX in the group were planking and doing people’s chair to round out the rotation.  YHC’s group rotated after 20 merkins and then all did the last 23 together.  Counting varied by group.

    Round 2 – the counter was Squats and as a group of 3 we completed 390 squats – 1 for each of Doc’s starts as a MLB pitcher.  Other two planked and people’s chair again.

    Round 3 – as a group of 3 complete 67 Burpees – 1 for each of Doc’s complete games.

    Mosey back to the flag for COT, including 20 Freddie Mercuries (for each of Doc’s shutouts) and 20 Hello Dollies.  Finish with 16 more Merkins OYO and 1 minute of Superman for good measure.

    Number-rama; Nama-a-rama and YHC took us out.

    Announcements:

    • HR 1-year convergence Saturday
    • C-ville 4-miler Sunday
    • SOJ area HDHH in the works for November – look for pre-Blast from the Emerging Nano Region of New Market soon.  Chatter was about somewhere out in Westchester.

    NMS:

    YHC has a general dis-like for pitchers (no offense Marv or McRib – or other pitchers among us), but they tend to be attitudinal, moody and sometimes soft (kinda like a teenage girl).  It appeared, however, that Doc was none of those things.  I loved watching him pitch, and I feared for any manager to went to take him out of the game.  LOVE THAT!

    My favorite memory that I saw yesterday was from Chase Utley who said the first time he met Doc was the first day of Spring Training one year and he met in at breakfast at 0545 and doc’s shirt was soaking wet.  He asked him if it was raining when he came in and Doc laughed at him and said No – I just finished my workout….that is our kind of guy!  RIP Doc.

    Great effort today from the SOT guys.  Also, great to see Aisle 5, Goose and Cerrano back out.  Always great to have Roscoe and his “that’s 5” counting.  Solid effort per usual from McRib, Wilson, Honeymoon and Marmaduke.  A pleasure to lead such a fine group!

    No more Gumbo for you!

  • S-T-A-C-H-E

    7 fearless men, including 1 FNG, broke free from the fartsack, shook off the post-Halloween cobwebs and posted to SOT to start off No Shave November (or MOvember) right with a little themed beatdown.  YHC’s back was not cooperating but we pushed through….literally.  This is how it went down:

    Mosey to the front of the school for COP (all IC), including:

    • Merkins x15
    • SSHs x20
    • SLOW DQs x10
    • Imperial Walkers x15
    • LBCs x20
    • Merkins x10

    Mosey to the basketball courts to begin our theme – S-T-A-C-H-E

    S = Suicides

    3 rounds of suicides – regular, backward and side shuffle

    T = Tammy Wynette

    Partner up and together complete 200 merkins and 200 squats as follows – 1 partner is doing merkins while the other is doing squats.  Partner doing the squats calls the tempo cadence for both (3 counts going down and up on the 4th count).  After 10 reps switch.  After each partner has completed 10 merkins and 10 squats – that is 1 round.  Complete 10 rounds so each person completed individually 100 merkins and 100 squats.

    A = Alabama Prom Dates

    Just as the name suggests – complete 20 in cadence

    C – Curb Crawls

    Mosey over to the side of the school and use the curb of the bus loop for curb crawls – bear crawl forward to the opposite curb and perform 1 incline merkin; crawl bear back and do 2 decline merkins.  Up to 5 and back down to 1 (25 total merkins – 175 for the day for those keeping count).

    H = Howling Monkeys

    Circle up on the sidewalk and grab your ankles and pass around the monkey humpers Ring of Fire style – 10 and pass (howl after #10 optional but all PAX members indulged).  2 rounds around the circle and the dogs were BARKING!

    E = Elevens (Merkins (of course) and 2-count Freddy Mercuries)

    Customary round of elevens, performing the merkins at one end of the sidewalk and the FMs at the other end by the big tree.  Run in between. (55 Merkins – up to 230 total)

    Mosey back to the Flag for 20 merkins OYO for good measure and a cool 250 for the day.

    COT, number-rama, name-a-rama and YHC took us out.

    Announcements:

    NMS:

    It was a great start to the monthly merkin challenge and a kickoff for the various folks taking a month long shave vacation.  Great to have Cerrano (FNG – Colin) out today and way to push through the merkin-heavy workout.  Cerrano is another New Market guy so the Emerging Nano Region of New Market keeps growing.  He has some Cleveland ties – thus the name.  Jobu was a solid second choice.

    Get those merkins in fells (and don’t forget to breathe)

    No more Gumbo for you

    Hampton Roads Convergence – Nov. 11th

    MS

    YHC had a long biz trip yesterday and had plenty of travel time to think of what we could accomplish this morning.  Knowing we still had some cinder block in the New Market hood from construction, YHC decided to use them while we could.  Once the first Dora began, it was clear that on the triceps, there needed to be a modification, appreciate the PAX for pointing that out.  Mumblechatter was at a minimum during the Dora’s. ill take that as a compliment.  Great to have Ram Man back out as well, who is definitely on the Wilson train of running sucks, but after reading Tuesday’s No Toll BB, Does Wilson really hate running? Great to have Rosco back as well as Tatu back from his business travels! Rosco is in RVA permanently now and is looking to not only hit more AOs, but possibly create a few new ones close to where he is living (Rosco I will let you disclose the area), the EH-ing has begun, lets help him out and continue to grow!  Strong work by all, way to push through with the Cinder blocks today, Honor and a privilege to lead this group today!

    Quick Mary: Boxcutters, Capital Letters

    COT – Gumbo took us out.

    NM

    Welcome to RVA, Goose! Thanks to guys like you, the SOJ is rising! Hope to see you out again soon.

    YHC had texted Jville the night before to see about a carpool, but Jville said he was already going with Mr Roper…YHC felt slighted, as in, thanks for the ride guys…until he realized at 5:30 that Jville never intended to post to SOT, rather they were posting somewhere else. #contextiskey

    The Crab Curb Crawl was a crowd pleaser. Wow.

    YHC had not read the back blast from Gumbo’s Saturday beatdown at Dogpile, so he didn’t realize he was repeating the Aiken Legs workout…I took it to the next step and honored American Idol’s Season 2 runner-up Clay Aiken. He’s too good not to honor. Lots of opportunity for mumblechatter with this one…yet there was very little.

    Space Invaders was a hit yet again. Why does Wilson always need to receive instruction more than once?

    There was discussion around Honeymoon’s happy hour last night…and why he decided not to post.

    Announcements:

    2 Dog Pile workouts on Saturday @ 6am & 7am – thanks Upchuck
    2.0 Friendly workout at Dog Pile on Saturday at 7am – thanks Marv

    MS-

    It was a morning filled with thoughts of the rain could hit at any minute with the numerous thunder and lightning combos the PAX experienced this morning.  The track 11s were new and of course Rosie, Honeymoon, and McRib shot out of their cannon and crushed them.  Wilson, Beaker and YHC crushed them as well, all the while Wilson convincing YHC why running sucks, especially when its lightning.  With 10 mins to go, the rain finally arrived just in time to make sure any body part that was not wet, certainly did not stay that way.  Great work by all today, honor to lead this group as always.  Also great to see Beaker back out representing New Market for the 3rd time in just 7 days, great work!

     

  • Rosie is Streaking…14 and counting

    A lucky (and completely useless for YHC’s plan) number 7 PAX broke the warm embrace and Posted in the deepest and darkest of gloom’s at SOT this morning and this is what greeted them:

    COP in the parking lot with DQs, IWs, Arm Circles, SSHs, Tempo Merkins and LBCs

    Line up for a 1-mile Native American Run to the track, 1 lap around, back around the bus loop and out onto Old Hundred Road (with headlamps illuminated for safety – SOP per LabRat) down to Brandermill Pkwy and around into the front parking lot of the school.  NOTE – Native American Run portion ceased once we hit the open road.

    Plank-o-rama on the curb for the six, then 10 incline merkins on the curb to catch our breath.

    Find some wall for 3 round of 20 Donkey Kicks and 10-second wall sits.

    Mosey to SOT’s love hill for Jacob’s Ladder – run up the hill to the end of the school and do 1 box cutter, back down for 2, back up for 3….up to 7. Plank for the six and then do 7 more box cutters as a group.

    Mosey to the basketball courts for 4- corners (not the Jville way) – corner 1 10 merkins, corner 2 20 werkins, corner 3 30 2-count mountain climbers and corner 4 40 monkey humpers (YEE-HAWW)- run between corners.

    COT, number-rama (sort of) and name-a-rama and YHC took us out

    Only announcement was a reminder of Hammer & Ales event this Saturday – see Viral or his pre-Blast for details

    NMS:

    Big shout out to Rosie who is streaking with 14 straight days posting to a workout.  Way to go Rosie.  Honeymoon was giddy with joy today that 14-days in a row and a night out last night with Gumbo and other HS buddies slowed Rosie down enough to let Honeymoon take the lead in Jacob’s Ladder today.  Rosie may have caught him on the 4-corners though.

    Also, the PAX got to hear Rosie complain just a bit — he is human!

    Have a great Hump Day men.  No more Gumbo for you!
