  • Plug in Oyster?????

    8 Popsicles found themselves in the almost freezing parking lot of Timberwolf wondering why they didn’t fart sack this morning or at least wondering “should I stay in the car?”.

    Mosey to the teachers lot for COP

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers, LBC’s, Booty Scooters (We almost lost Hermie here, man down with an ab cramp)

    Mosey to the picnic tables and partner up

    Partner 1 does exercises while partner 2 runs to the last light and back (Dips, Step Ups, Wall Sits)

    Mosey to Light pole alley (find the ball & Chain with 12 frisbees)

    PAX does the exercise that is written on the frisbee while 1 HIM grabs the ball or chain (unless your Nancy Lopez you grab both) and runs to the last light pole (modified to the tennis court after DK was the test rabbit). Once 8 where complete switch to partners carrying the ball or chain while PAX does the remaining exercises.

    BTTF Numbers / Names YHC took us out

    NMS:

    Somehow the discussion of camping and having electricity was started but the wheels quickly fell off that bus when Hermie mentioned that they made coffee by plugging the Oyster in, that (in turn) turned Oyster on and it went down hill from there.

  • It was a good day to Q

    Despite the gloom, rain, drive time, and injuries 12 men showed up today for my official VQ.

    Warm-up:

    1. Mosey to the bus loop for some tracers (jog down one line, shuffle to next line and Bernie back. Repeato from one end to other.
    2. Circle up – Welcome. Disclaimer.
    3. YHC led stretches followed by ’muricans.

    The Thang:

    1. 11s on the hill: Exercises ”rocky squat” and 2 count ’murican hammers. Sprint to top, rocky squat (squat + jab/jab = 1), back to bottom. Started 10:1 squat to hammer, finished 1:10 squat to hammer. 20 count
    2. To the poles!: 10 light poles. 1:2:3 ratio of Burpees/Dry docks/LBCs. Jog between poles. Begin at Pole 1 and build up reps to Pole 5, back down reps to pole 10. Example: Pole 1 (1/2/3)…Pole 4 (4/8/12)…Pole 5 (5/10/15)…Pole 6 (4/8/12)…Pole 10 (1/2/3). Al Gore for six. 20 count.
    3. Bear crawl booyahs: Mosey to tennis courts. Grab partner. Face partner along width of tennis court. Bear crawl accross the court and complete 1 rep booyah (1 rep is 2 pushups with a hand slap with partner). Recover and jog back to line perform 1 squat. Repeato until Pax built up to 5x reps.
    4. Comanche Run: Mosey to track. In honor of the Comanches the Pax rocked two laps around the track (jog as Pax with sprints to front). Stopped at bleachers after lap 1 for two rounds of incline pushups and dips (10 x each).
    5. Quick Triple check: Mosey back towards the flag. YHC needed some filler. Groups of 3, A-man: wall sit, B-man: LBC, C-man: sprint to cargo container (about 20 yards).
    6. Final countdown – 2x COP. Circle up. Pax holds plank. Go around the circle 2x, with each dude performing 5 ‘muricans. Extra points for style points.

    Time! I am spent at this point.

    Wrap up:

    1. Numbers/Names.
    2. Announcements:
      1. Beer mile 10/29/22 (11th Annual – Shawn G Hogan)
      2. Happy Hour at Veil (Forrest Hill location) – 10/20/22
    3. YHC prayed us out. Gave thanks for our ability to get together as Pax. Prayers for health of our family and friends

    Final thoughts:

    F3 brought me in with the fitness. Getting to know you guys and crushing reps side by side every day reinforces what the Pax is all about. Each of you had a role in encouraging me to step up and lead a Q. I appreciate it.

    P.S. If you want to learn more about the Comanches check out ”Empire of the Summer Moon.”

    NMS: YHC was not real sure how to work this Q without using shoulder muscles but between legs and abs there are actually lots of options, you just need to think on the fly. Thanks to the guys who posted this morning for having patience as I put it all together.

    Its been several years since YHC last posted to Timberwolf. (The last time was the Labor Day convergence several years ago.) It was a great time as always for YHC and with only one threat of a coup and much mumblechatter, it seemed that this trip was a success. YHC has really enjoyed the once a month takeover that DaVille is currently doing knowing that he does not need to travel the next day. My apologies for not leaving enough time for Plank-O-Rama. Maybe next time.

    Announcements

    • September 24 at 7:30 AM – F3RVA 8th anniversary convergence at Grid Iron

    Outstanding job today SOJ PAX! Parts of the bootcamp were challenging and all PAX members performed beyond expectations. Well done!

  • Let’s get back Q it!!!

    NINE SOJ Beasts took on a zero humidity, 62 degree day morning that was picture perfect for a beatdown. After some encouragement by the PAX the prior week about getting up and leading, YHC decided to get back on the Q sheet. According to the substitute teacher walking in the side door, here is how it went down.

    COP:

    Mosey to the large parking lot out front. SSH, Imp Walkers, Ukrainian soldiers, Arm Circles, Dead man hang (C,R,L), some more stretching on the six (very much needed after DTH running Q the day prior), LBC, Freddie Mercury, H2H.

    The Thang:

    On the far parking lot line. Bear Crawl progressions with Merkins at each line. Start with 1 bear crawl to next parking line, 2, BC to 3 and so on until the end of the parking lot. Do the same back down the parking lot with crab walk and WW2s.

    Mosey to the benches for a triple check. Runner to the last light pole in parking lot. Partners 2 & 3 do incline merkins and dips x 3. 3 HIMS had a false start so we celebrated their eagerness with 3 burpees.

    Mosey to school entrance to attack the hill for slow 11’s. Start at the bottom of the hill with jump squats, and hand release merkins at the top. Wait for the six back at the bottom and we head up the hill in different fashion each time starting with a Bernie, karoake L then R, lunge, and bear crawl. Repeato, instead substitute a broad jump for a bear crawl on the last rep. Mosey to the flag, quick stretch, and time.

    COT: YHC took us out.

    Announcements – Reminder of convergence at Dogpile on Monday. Reminder to encourage your brothers to lead if that is their thing, to show up at a minimum and encourage each other. Thanks for the encouragement by the PAX to get back on the Q sheet. Prayers to Rosie’s friend Jeff’s family who unexpectedly passed away last week. Prayers to all of our brothers on IR for healing hands. Prayers to all of our brothers to get back up, get back out, and have a positive impact for each other and our communities.

    Thanks for all that you do gents. Appreciate you all as always.

  • McRib is Back

    8 young men from South of the river met up this morning and according to the wildlife around the AO this is what went down in the gloom of Timberwolf. A little car advice from Kelly to start the morning before the seconds ticked down to 0530. Mosey into the parking lot but circle back for the LIFO – McRib. I heard that he made it out to SOT and extended an invite to a Rosie Q at Timberwolf that he didn’t want to miss. A standard warmup fare today, no Chumbawumba or slaughter starter.

    Mosey to the bus loop for DORA – 100 merkins, 200 squats, 300 2-ct Freddie Mercuries. The owl in the woods called us out as we started a new version of lightpole alley. Doozy tried to answer but was ignored. Each PAX calls an exercise at a lightpole. Various ways of travel between poles, mostly lunges. At this point we headed to the tennis courts for what seemed to be a 4 corners but Wilson complimented the Q on the non-running lightpole alley. The Q does not respond well to compliments so we went to the track instead.

    No time for the full Lucky Horseshoe today but an intro to the exercises with a warning that it could come back. 20 Merkins, 20 Squat Walkers, 20 Scorpion Dry Docks, 20 WWII, 20 Lunges (each leg) – run a lap. Bats dive bombing Nancy Lopez or maybe he was just seeing things. Another lap with a Lucky Horseshoe exercise at each corner and lunges to finish the lap. Mary to fill the last few minutes.

    Great to see McRib back in action and a strong group at Timberwolf. Lots of lunges today, I know I will feel that tomorrow. Lots of counting in the Lucky Horseshoe so minimal mumble chatter, or just wait for other people to finish and move on to the next one.

    • Labor Day Convergence at Dogpile – 7am
    • Some confusion about the 8 year F3RVA anniversary in September. Someone feel free to chime in and clear it up.
    • Murph tomorrow at Twin Team
    • F3 RVA leadership is starting to take form, lots of opportunities to help.

  • That’s okay, we can run

    5 Regulars and 1 FNG, hit the parking lot of Timberwolf at 5:30 this morning.

    Move away from the parking area just in case someone comes in hot or the trash man comes in early COP right there

    DQ’s – 5 burpees, Helicopters – 4 burpees, Imperial Squat Walkers – 3 burpees, Ukrainian Soldiers – 2 burpees, HillBillies – 10 burpees

    Warning to the PAX, YHC asked Posey last night what we should do, Posey said anything but run

    Numbers / Names YHC took us out

    NMS:

    Not only did Posey challenge YHC to have a Q without running but YHC jokingly said “after my Q you won’t be able to swing a bat”. To which Posey replied, “you can’t do that!”. YHC – “I CAN’T????”. Welcome aboard Gator, it was great to have you with us this morning and we hope to see you stick with it.
