  • Isolation

    Ah, YHC forgets OC’s slogan on the t-shirt, isolation in masturbation perhaps, but not as crude. Where to begin….balls and shaft? I recognize a kinship. Christmas party masturbation unemployment? Let’s start with the lounge, shall we –

    10 regulars joined up for a Lounge-type workout. some might say not full lounge, but YHC felt with the chill in the air, keeping moving would be best. Mosey to bottom Twin Team. Warm ups. Slight jog up the hill, dora back down. Mosey to neighborhood street – Love Hill with lunges. Mosey to bus loop – 1 curb crawl. Mosey to basketball courts – 15 minutes of OC’s flat-ball basketball.

    The lounge mentality was on full display today and it was glorious. Too many laughs to recount. Join us if you can boys, it’s a hoot. Thanks to Last Call for providing refreshments. I’m taking my ball and I’m going home.

  • You Had to Be There

    A pair of fluffy snow angels experienced the quaint softness of the uber exclusive Tundra Room of the Twin Team Lounge. Velvety ropes be damned as this is how we got things done today to the best of my recollection.

    No Q on the sheet, so a rare hot potato ensued that was beyond brutal. YHC started us off. To toughen us up PAX decided to go barefoot, shirtless and no gloves for the entire workout, proper Lounge attire.

    Let us begin with a short 100% sprint up and down Twin Team Hill. Lost count of the up and backs but copious is how it should be described. Still time on the clock, potato was tossed to Rosie.

    Crab Walk, Bear Crawl rotation down to Robious Boat Launch where Pax proceeded to do a variety of Burpees and Merkins in preparation of upcoming bikini season. Swimming across the river was tossed out but declined due to no attending life guards, safety first. After bemoans of disapproval partner carries BTTVF was called with single rotation 1/2 back. Easy stuff.

    Numbers Names, Prayers and Announcements. Manly congratulations were dispersed.

    Announcements: Magnum PI day at DogPile manana. Dust of those fuzzy caterpillars and pressed Hawaiian digs for the annual finest weekend beatdown north of the river.

    Secret Santa is being organized. No friends, No problems, Match Maker Hutton will find you a soul mate for life, or atleast for Rosie’s 12 days of Christmas coming up on 12/23.

    Breaking Bread and The Bridge need people. Sign up you filthy animals.

    NMS: The following is how YHC remember things from today, and that opinion is the only opinion that matters. Great beatdown with Rosie as the smaller numbers are always fun to catch up with good people. Creative gift ideas proposed for family are always welcome. Rosie’s M has an art show going on tonight so come by and get some culture and help fund Rosie’s future retirement dream home, location still TBD. Great job today. Thank you Rosie for joining me.

  • Gumbo flavored Coffee – it’s a new fad

    8 Lounge-seekers posted to Twin Team and after a poorly disguised fake, YHC attempted to abide by the Lounge rules – sort of. A few exercises are under review by the rule committee and YHC may be in probationary status, but I stand by my interpretation of the rules. To be determined.

    Mosey to the newly very well lit bus loop cul de sac for COP, including a little counting and a little broga.

    THANG:

    Proper Dora – no, that’s not a burpee. Pax 1 has option – run the bus loop or do stationary exercise as the timer; Pax 2 complete a set of 2 merkins, 3 jump squats and 4 SSHs = 1 rep. Add up to 50 reps.

    Wall work – 10 donkey kicks, lunge to hydrant, plank, WWII, lunge back. 20 DKs, high knees to hydrant, plank, WWII, high knees back. Mix in some wall sits.

    Jacobs Ladder – run to second hoop and do 1 WWII, back – 3, and count up to 8. Each time to pass the 1st hoop do 1 merkin and 1 jump squat — again, not a burpee.

    Mosey back to the flag for 5 minutes of Mary

    Numbers, Names, COT, YHC took us out and coffeeteria

    Announcements:

    • Chili Cookoff Sunday – 1 entry spot available. See Heist or Slack
    • Thanksgiving Convergence 45MOM – 0700.
    • Thanksgiving pre-game Ultimate Frisbee at Timberwolf – 0530

    Great morning gents. Enjoyed the conversation and we got a sweat going. I will be sure to research what constitutes a burpee and report back to the group.

    Thanks for the coffee Last Call.

    No More Gumbo For You!

  • Good Cop Bad Cop

    No one ever asked for a joint Q at the Twin Team Lounge………….but by golly, that is what they got. Here is a brief summary for viewing pleasure.

    Mosey to the basketball court for some Chaplain led no count warm-ups: Michael Phelps, Helicopters, Ukrainian Soldiers, Hillbillies, Knee Pulls, Mummy Kicks, Mario Jumps, Lunge Walk, Bear Crawl. Might have missed a few.

    House Party took over for Exercise One:

    Mosey the playground for Exercise Two (Chaplain) – Triple Check with Bar Hangs, Copperhead Squats, run across football field and back.

    House Party moseyed us over to JRHS for 4 Corners: Hand Release Merkins, WWII’s Sit-ups, Monkey Humpers, Side Straddle Hops.

    Back to the flag, and finished up with 5 minutes of assorted ab exercises (called by the PAX).

    Numbers/Names/Announcements and House Party took us out.

    Final Thoughts: Always great to collaborate with House Party. If you dont feel like planning a whole workout, just grab a partner. House Party’s burpees were met with resistance by the Lounge Committee. We enjoyed some coffee post-workout courtesy of Last Call. Great work fellas!

  • When you wish upon a star

    11 of the worlds finest HIM graced the parking lot of Twin Team to see how loungy Doozy could be. In order to not be added to the probation list with Rosie, YHC got our 1 burpee max out of the way right at 5:30.

    Mosey slalom through the handicap signs and wait for the clown car to unload. Circle up with various non counted exercises

    Mosey to the JRHS parking lot for some more stretches

    Mosey to the benches at the school and partner up for touch a pole, Partner 1 touches 3 light poles in the parking lot while partner 2 does exercises

    Mosey to the second lot repeto with different partner and different exercises.

    Mosey to the swamp use the stands bear crawl up mosey around down, High knee lunge up mosey around and down, Crab walk up mosey around and down (Rosie is the only one that completed it correctly)

    Mosey BTTF but bear crawl up the hill before crossing the field

    Circle up for Mary (abs)

    Numbers / Names Wet Bandit took us out

    NMS:

    Watch what you wish for especially around OC. Rodeo Clown asked if we had seen the shooting stars this morning to which Boberry asked if he made a wish and with no hesitation and perfect comedic timing OC said “here I am”. Coffee was made by Last Call and a good time was had.

  • Ghost of Sisyphus

    According to the women and dogs walking up and down the namesake hill, this is what the 9 that posted may have done on a Trick or Treat version of TwinTeam. After a scramble to get the coffee maker working and a lap around the parking lot, the Q gave the PAX the semblance of a choice of a Trick or Treat workout during the conversational warm up.

    Once Last Call got his domestic duties straight, we headed to Twin Team. We dropped the first glow stick letting the PAX know that the Sisyphus workout was at hand and made our way up the hill, dropping 4 more glow sticks along the way. Mr. Holland tells the tale of Sisyphus much better than anyone so I stuck to the basics: he made some Gods angry and he spent his eternal days pushing a rock up a hill only to have it roll back and start over.

    Start pushing that rock – run to the first glow stick, bear crawl back. Run to the second, 30 WWII facing uphill, run to the top. Run to the 3rd glow stick, 30 HRM facing downhill, back to the top. Run to the 4th, partner up – P1 runs to the 3rd glow stick while P2 does flutter kicks for 2 rounds. Back to the top. 5th glow stick, 10 burpees then back to the top, stopping for 20 FK, 20 merkins, 20 WWII, 20 bear crawl steps along the way. Back to the VSF.

    Great work men, almost 3 miles covered, most of it going up or down the hill. Apologies to those seeking the Lounge this morning. My name may mysteriously get erased from the Q sheet when an attempting to sign up for TwinTeam again. When I first signed up I had the Murph in mind for the end of the month but changed it to bring Sisyphus back to haunt the PAX. Either way it was going to be a tough one, thanks for letting me lead, sticking it out, and putting up with the whims of the Q at a Haunted Lounge version of Twin Team.

    If you can have a day of Creating something, Appreciating something someone else does, Moving your body, and Communing with others, that’s a solid day. With F3 we get at least 2 if not more before most people are awake. Let’s give it away to others so they can get the positive energy that we get to start the day.

  • A boy undertakes to put something in a playmate’s left hand which the playmate cannot possibly take in his right. What is this?

    The playmate’s right elbow.

    Six decided to end the week with YHC at the Twin Team Lounge. This is a possible version of what was accomplished.

    Mosey around the parking lot to Señor frogs work truck to pick up some CR Coupons.

    Mosey across the soggy soccer field to JR High School Track for Introductions, Disclaimers, waivers and the meeting of FNG- Wes Becker. Welcome Wes! Standard, Lounge Style, COP warm up.

    Mosey to the track for a mile of WW2’s, Squats and Lieutenant Dan’s.

    Mosey to the track brick wall for some Balls to the wall, Shoulders, heads and toes with some deep squats for good measure.

    Long mosey back to BW Elementary front benches for some dips.

    Mosey to the missing flag for a minute of burpee Mary.

    YHC took us out with a deeply intellectual all inspiring thought provoking prayer.

    Please keep prayer requests on your minds and in your hearts for the rest of the day.

    Boot Leg is Q’ing the Bridge tomorrow if anyone is interested in a mini road trip.

    Handshake is camping. I suspect he is thankful for Last Calls sleeping arrangements.

    Have a great weekend and thank you for letting me lead.

    PS: Welcome FNG- Wes Becker. He was invited by Pad Thai. He will be forever known as UGGS.

  • Moans or Groans

    7 loungey veterans were joined by an FNG and a 4 legged companion for a casual beatdown followed by a flavor infused coffeeteria. After cafe set up and turning on the pot, we ventured out into the darkness towards the High School. Here is where we circled up for introductions and disclaimers. Warm Ups included invisible jump ropes, dead man hang, helis, DQ’s, Imperial Walkers and maybe a few other erect exercises. YHC was humbly reminded that there is not counting in the lounge and quickly pivoted to conversational warm ups.

    Mosey to the front of the school for triple checks. Timer runs the loop while partners perform hoedowns and balls to the wall. 3 rounds completed so we mosey on to the football stadium entrance. Singer and his K-9 Ruby found us here bringing ideal numbers for a quadruple check. Timer runs out into the parking lot and around the vehicle while partners perform pole smokers, squats and carolina dry docks. 3 rounds completed.

    Mosey into the parking lot for brocode exercises to the grassy area. Bearcrawl to the 1st light and perform 1 burpee. Lunge to the 2nd light and perform 1 squat. Reverse lunge to the 3rd light where Singer abided by the social contract of cleaning up after Ruby.

    Mosey back to the school for some bench work in close proximity so we could all share our feelings along with dips, step ups and incline merkins.

    BTTVF for quick stretching, numbers, names and announcements. Welcome Rousey, hope to see you back out in the future. Originally Baby Billy but given the connection to MMA, was later changed to Rousey.

    Announcements: see slack for Machismos Burger Night and fill up Breaking Bread.

    NMS: Great turn out this brisk morning. Always nice to have Handshake enjoy a true lounge beatdown. Much mumblechatter including Froggys vacation attire and grooming habits, Rosie is renting a 40 person compound on the lake, Chaplain gets the weekend of no basketball gyms, while Handshake, Doozy and YHC continue to work on “projects” to limited success. Great work today fellas. Thank you for the opportunity to lead. Flavored coffee afterwards looked well received.

  • Carries and Coffee

    It was an exciting day at Twin Team Lounge! 11 men arrived to a new flag location and fully functioning coffee stand. Here is a brief summary for your viewing pleasure:

    Mosey to back of BWES for warmup: No counting or cadence – just move across the bus loop. Ukranian Soldiers, Forward Straddle Hops, Hillbillies, Knee Pulls, Karoake, Bernie Sanders, Mummy Kicks, Raise the Roofs. I might have missed a couple.

    Exercise One: 4 Corners, Wall Work Edition. We used the school as our square: 10 Chicken Peckers, 20 Donkey Kicks, 30 Wall World II Sit ups, 40 Hoe Downs. Take it back with 10 Dirty Hookups, 20 Wall Slaps, 30 WallAbama Prom Dates, 40 Bruce Lee Punches. Mosey back to the bus loop.

    Exercise Two: Grow Ruck Carries
    4 man teams: One person is lifted up with their feet on someone’s shoulders. 2 carriers grab the arms and support the back. Walk to the end of the road. Best way I can describe it! We did several rounds with people rotating in and out.

    Mosey to the playground for Exercise Three: Grip Strength Challenge.
    Everyone hangs on the pull up bars until a winner is declared. Doozy won easily and looked like he could keep hanging if needed.

    to the basketball court for Exercise Four: Assorted exercised picked by the PAX. WWII sit ups, Pickle Pounders, LBC’s, Freddy Mercuries, and a few others. Back to the Flag for Numbers, Names, Announcements, etc.

    YHC took us out.

    Final Thoughts: Strong work by the PAX this morning. Enjoyed honoring the grow ruckers with a little blast from the past. Apparently Doozy is the fastest and strongest man at Twin Team. Coffee afterwards was excellent courtesy of Last Call. The rumor is that he may bring homemade baked goods in the future. This workout was Lounge Approved!

  • Coffee at the Lounge

    The 5 studs that were obviously the targets of the orbiting satellites thought they had a Chaplain Q to look forward to but got sucked into a Rosie time warp while waiting for coffee to brew.

    Standard lounge warmup in conversation while Doozy told stories of a Radford parent weekend. He found a college party for his M and daughter, saw the sign that said “Hot Moms Enter Here”, dropped his M off, yada, yada, yada, he picked them up later in the day. If you are in a college acapella group on parent weekend – the obvious choice of song to sing is “Stacey’s Mom” – no one in the audience will feel uncomfortable, especially if the lead singer is obviously scanning the crowd for eye contact during the performance.

    Doors – various exercises at each numbered door looking for alternative outlets for coffee makers. 3 total burpees were performed, staying withing the threshold set for the lounge. Kubota would have appreciated the pace of the first loop around the school. Mosey to the playground for 3 mini-Murph rounds – 5 pullups, 10 merkins, 15 squats – run the loop. At this point YHC realized we had entered the time warp as these men blew through the exercises and still had over half the time left to fill.

    Round of various Mary through the mumble chatter on the basketball courts. Another round of doors, this time OYO, increasing merkins. Good thing there are only 10 doors at this school and not 20+ like the original SOT (Lugnut remembers). Random bench work – step ups, dips, inclines, squats. Finish off with another round of Mary. YHC fought off the encouragement to end early to check the coffee and filled the entire 45 minutes.

    NMM

    Good times and discussion at the DTH firepit last night – good things to come. Machismo found out that he can work out on Saturdays too and is making the official launch of Bon Iron on Saturdays. A new KB workout possibly coming to RVA soon. New CSAUPs discussed – many options on the table – some good ideas, the stupider the better.

    Highlight discussion topic – COFFETERIA – trying to piggy back on the success of the Circus Maximus onsite brewing extravaganza, YHC encouraged trying onsite coffee at other AOs. The Lounge at Twin Team has been kicking around the idea since the summer when Last Call found an outlet nearby. Finally the crew was able to make it happen today, Last Call brought the coffee maker, YHC brought some fixings, and 3 non-coffee drinkers and 1 caffeine aficionado stuck around for some high quality 2nd F. Now that the coffee is flowing, expect it at Twin Team on a regular basis.
