  • I’m Out of Sweat

    Three He-Mans came out on this muggy morning to take a grass bath on some wet turf. Blood was drawn, heart rates were redlining, and sweat flowed like wine.

    Warmup 

    Moseyed to the back of The Lumberyard by the coupons. Something was smelling like hot death and I couldn’t remember if I took a shower last night. Turns out they had one of those pretty fences around the dumpster that I chose to warmup next to. That’s on me boys, sorry about that.

    IC:

    -Cherry Pickers

    -Hamstring Stretch

    -Quad Stretch

    -Lat Stretch

    -Arm Circles (both ways)

    The Thang 

    Near the back of one of the baseball fields at The Lumberyard is a hill that’s been catching my eye for a while. Reminds me of my college days when the baseball boys trained with the lacrosse team and got humbled during hill sprints. Pretty sure it was the AT’s way of reminding us how bad of shape baseball was in.

    At the bottom of the hill:

    5 rounds of:

    -10 Push-up Skull Crushers

    -10 Squat-to-Overhead Presses w/ coupon

    -10 Decline Merkins w/ coupon

    Between each round: 

    sprint/run up the ≈25-yard hill and mosey back down.

    Mosey to the playground

    5 sets of 5 

    -Swing Ab Crunches

    -Pull-ups

    Mosey to the Octagon 

    Running short on time, we modified 11’s to 6’s:

    WWII’s on one end

    Merkins on the other

    Wrapped it up with CoT. Yukon took us out in prayer.

  • No Dogs, No Logs

    Pine Fork Rd kinda reminds you of Adriana going on a “little ride” with Uncle Paulie Walnuts, but opens to a beautiful wide-open park, where the Lumberyard locals greet you with a smile, a fist bump, and some logs rather than a bullet to the back of the head.

    Here’s what transpired after today’s little ride:

    Mosey around parking lot 1

    • SSHs x 70 or so
    • Dead Man Hang

    • Leroy Jenkins – at various points throughout the entire workout the PAX one by one fervently called out “Leroy Jenkins” and everyone sprinted to the rock pile and back

    Beaver Q

    Mosey to Heli-pad 1

    • 11s – Monkey Humpers/ Oblique LBCs (R/L)
    • Run to Heli-pad 2 between sets

    Mosey back to SF

    Numberama, Nameorama, COT

    MOLESKIN

    Three Amigos summoned the Invisible Swordsman and obtained directions to the eastern most AO in F3RVA.  The AO and the fine men of New Kent did not disappoint.  Six men and a 2.0 grinded, laughed, fondled some wood, and all left considerably more moist than at arrival.  Things YHC learned today, UpChuck is Katy Perry’s #1 fan, Beaver has a tattoo of a shark with a beard and a cowboy hat, and Chico State is part of the California Penal League.  Go Wildcats!  Belly Flop! Belly Flop!  Belly Flop!…

Even had YHC’s own 2.0s in the mix today and got to name his son Speed today! This F3 thing continues to be something truly impactful. Without it, we wouldn’t be crossing paths with so many awesome people in our community. It’s not just the men it’s our 2.0s that are building friendships and learning what it means to have leadership and have goals. It pulls and pushes so much positivity into all corners of our lives. Feeling grateful today for the motivation, for the fellowship, and for this community that keeps showing up. Impressed and inspired

  • Lumberyard Ultimate Frisbee!

    It was a beautiful Saturday morning at the Lumberyard as 6 HIM’s started the weekend off strong! Choo Choo surprised us with a Q toss up for me and Yukon! This is what went down.

    We mosey over to the octagon for a warm up stretch led by Choo Choo – it was a pleasure to have Rosie come join us today as he was traveling to William and Mary to pick up his son.

    Warm up – side straddle hops, merkins, knee knockers, arm circles, chinooks and some other stuff!

    We made our way over to the secret hiding spot to collect the lumberyard coupons.

    The thang:

    5 rounds and run to the cone and back after each round is completed.

    Thrusters with a coupon 8 reps

    WW3’s with a coupon 8 reps

    Curls with a coupon 8 reps

    Yukon with more beat downs

    10 Stationary Lunges with the coupon then fire arm carry to the cones and back – 5 rounds!

    Our shoulders were on fire – now it’s time for some ultimate frisbee on the field for 30 minutes of pure cardio.

    We had a great game – WildWood, Choo Choo, Wonka vs Rosie, Yukon, Chowder.

    The game was back and forth – lots of running, sprinting and changing directions. Some great plays and some not so great plays but it was a blast! Congrats to Rosie, Yukon and Chowder for their stellar performance and winning the 30 minute game 5-3!

    We finished with an awesome annoucement from Chowder as him and his wife are expecting their first child! Congrats Chowder! The PAX was the first to know about this news, even before their families! Very Special – Yukon took us out with a great prayer.

    It’s a pleasure to put in the hard work besides these men and lift each other up – as Choo Choo says Don’t waste the day! Have a great weekend! We miss Beaver!

    Peace.
