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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lucky 7’s were tossed around at the latest installment of the award winning “Twin Team Lounge” this morning. Here is how things went down.

5.30 is called so off we mosey for bit of warm up at the blacktop. Disclosures and introductions are completed. Conversational warm up included Dead Man Hang, Ukrainian Soldiers, Helis, DQ’s, Jazzercise among others. So we begin

Mosey to the black top corner for 4 corners BroCode style. 10 merkins, 20 squats, 30 lunges and 40 shoulder taps.

Pax noticed YHC brought some coupons to be stored for future use early on. Not to disappoint as numbers were perfect, we moseyed to the bus loop for a circle jerk. 6 stations of various block exercises while timer ran the loop and back. Exercises included rows, curls, squats, squat thrusters, WWII’s, and chest press. 2 rounds were completed.

Mosey over to the benches for 2 rounds of step ups, incline merkins and dips.

MBTTVF for a bit of stretching and premature time being called to the PAX dismay. Announcements, Prayers followed by Doozy taking us out.

Tepid Triangle Ruck event happening 8 pm tonight at Alamo. Pad Thai still looking for partners for the Grow Ruck next weekend.

NMS: After a week of numerous counting exercises, YHC was interested in a more conversational beatdown. Limited running was also preferred to packing in the miles. No better answer for that then to donate some 12″ coupons to the cause. Good conversation about various topics. Great way to start the morning and the weekend. Thanks for coming out fellas.

6 regular HIM’s and 1 Downrange joined YHC for a little Lounge action at Twin Team today. Was it loungy? Sort of.

Warmarama: Various exercises called, all completed in conversation.

Thang: 4×4 basketball – regular court. The great hoopers that joined YHC today didn’t let a semi-flaccid basketball stand in their way. It was time to hoop! No score was kept and YHC would call out various exercises after a made basket or a particularly bad shot or pass.

Thang 2: 4×4 basketball – diagonal court. A bit more running on this one.

YHC’s summary of players:

Rosie quickly established himself as the basketball player in the group. Ever see one of those 1950’s videos of the white guy with perfect form holding down a solid pivot foot while protecting the ball in 3-point stance? If so, you’ve seen Rosie play basketball. Mad skills on this dude.

Pad Thai: We’re still trying to identify his range. Couldn’t seem to make a basket if he was one foot from the hoop or 20 feet away. The bottom of the net proved elusive. It’s always a good idea to try and throw the basketball as hard as you can against the backboard…so says Pad Thai.

Doozey: Ever seen Steph Curry play basketball??? Doozey is the exact opposite.

Sin bin: This F3 brother just rebounds. Does he score? No. Does he play defense, sort of. He is the Dennis Rodman of Twin Team.

Last Call: Anyone ever play basketball with an old man, and he just knew where and how to throw elbows to inflict pain? In YHC’s younger days, YHC used to play with basketball with Kelly Jones. Kelly used to elbow YHC in the kidneys on every play. Need a dirty old man trick…Last Call is your man.

Game Warden: YHC is going to go out on a limb and say that Game Warden has never played basketball before.

Wedding Singer: YHC couldn’t come up with the proper adjective to describe Singer’s game. Maybe YHC will come up with something clever and update the backblast a later date.

Mozey Lunge back to the Flag for a quick Circle Up for some Ab exercises.

During these Ab Exercises, conversation turned to Game Warden’s wedding this weekend. Various unnamed people were trying to get some intel on how good looking the bridesmaids were. Doozey reminded the group that the mother’s and aunts are more in our age range than the bridesmaids and the backblast title was born.

Name-a-rama / Announcements / YHC took us out in prayer.

A sneaky Lounge workout today! It was fun.

Bullesye chose a flat route, Singer followed. 4 miles logged around Robious Landing, River Downs North.

Bulleyes and YHC dusted off the running sneakers and logged 4 miles – Twin Team -> Ellesmere -> Mount Hill and home. The 4 miler pace is a good pace for casual conversation, we’ve been working on it for years, perfecting it one might even say.
