Tag: TwinTeam

After a couple days of solo posts a crowded parking lot of 4 greeted YHC. With a variety of self-quarantining, social distancing, stay at home orders and general fartsacking, SOJ AOs have been lightly attended recently. Apparently when a couple people saw a Q on the sheet they knew it meant at least on other person would be posting.

A quick greeting and we were off for a mile to start. Big plans to get to the AO early fell flat so the PAX had to tag along.

Square off for some SSH, Russian Soldiers, Shoulder Taps and APDs.

Parking lot beast – jump squats, merkins, monkey humpers, plank jacks, lunges and burpees. Parking lot crawl – bear crawl, increasing merkins at each space up to 6. Light pole 11s – merkins and squats. Close out with some plankarama. Fully Bullseye friendly workout today.

During this time of distancing and isolation keep in touch with your F3 brothers through text, slack or other social media if you can. Tclaps to Doozy and Bullseye for working out solo this week. Maybe we’ll start a text chain to try to make sure no one posts alone.

Good to be back out. Be safe gentlemen and have a great day.

Social distancing was all too easy this morning as a PAX of one hit Twin Team. Here’s what went down…

Mosey to the Swamp only to find the Swamp nicely locked up. Parking lot it is.

COP:

DQs and Russian Soldiers

BOMBS:

Burpees x 30

Overhead presses x 40

Merkins x 50

Big boy sit-ups x 60

Squats x 70

After each exercise, take a lap around the parking lot.

Lightpole Mary:

Perform 50 (single count) of an exercise at each lightpole before heading to the next. Exercises included American Hammers (at 5 light poles cause it’s my favorite), Flutter Kicks, Freddie Mercury’s, Rosalitas, Hello Dollys, etc.

Very long mosey to jungle gym.

Pull-ups: Got in a few rotations of pull-ups. Don’t remember how many…but it wasn’t that many.

Mosey back to the flag.

No numbers, no names, but YHC took himself out.

YHC has heard about solo postings but has never experienced one. This morning, with the New Market crew keeping their distance and what appears to have been a rebuke of social distancing at RAMM, YHC posted for his first solo workout. Not a fan…missed my brothers this morning.

Six brave souls tested positive for Sisyphus this morning, after nearly a year of dormancy (March 29, 2019 to be exact). Here’s how it goes:

Mosey to the top of Twin Team, dropping a few flower pots and cones along the way. COP at the summit: SSH, Imperial Walkers, helicopters, DQ, Russian Soldiers.

Sisyphus: PAX runs downhill to each of five markers, performs an exercise, then returns to the summit.
1 – bear crawl back to summit
2 – 30 derkins
3 – 30 uphill facing WWIIs
4 – 2-man triple check: one runs up to #3 and back, while the other alternates 5 merkins and 5-count plank
5 – 15 burpees

After returning to the top following round 5, collect cones & pots, mosey back to Bettie for numbers, names, ‘nouncements.

It was great to be back at my favorite AO. Moving farther north has made it a bit too long a drive on a normal work day, but work days are anything but normal these days, so YHC made the most of it! As always, Sisyphus is a real mental beatdown as well as a physical one. And, having to listen to YHC spout out Greek mythology on the downhill trips.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Mr. Holland is opening a new AO in Glen Allen next week! Come check out The Last Resort this coming Monday morning at Longdale Elementary School. Check out the pre-blast for more info. SYTIG!

YNWA,
-Mr. Holland

Five Twin Team regulars joined YHC for a warm, post-rain workout. Here’s what went down.

Mosey to back of Bettie Weaver for COP:

SSH x 25

DQ x 12

Russian Soldiers x 12

American Hammers x 25

Sugar Sticks (aka Flutter Kicks) x 25

Mosey to Playground.

Mini-Murph

5 rounds of 5 pull-ups, 10 merkins, 15 squats OYO

Mosey to the swamp

BLIMPS

15 burpees, 20 lunges (each leg), 25 imperial walkers, 30 merkins, 35 plank jacks, 40 jump squats

After each exercise is performed, run a lap around the track (6 laps total)

Bearpees

Staying on the track, Bear crawl 4 paces, perform 1 burpee, repeat until reaching the end of bleachers.

Turn around and repeat…this time bear crawl 8 paces and perform 2 burpees.

Time ran out, so audible called.

Mosey BTTF.

Numbers, Names, Announcements, Prayer Requests, YHC took us out.

NMS:

YHC awoke at 4:40 this morning to the sound of heavy rain. Brain immediately went into Q contingency plan mode. YHC also figured this might be his first solo post. But, by a stroke of Friday the 13th luck, the rain ended by the time YHC left his abode.

Bullseye arrived early this morning and got some extra credit running in and YHC could tell he was ready for more. Although Doozy figured otherwise, there was no trip to Twin Team hill this morning. YHC admits… he had big plans for it. But, the extra darkness after daylight savings time began last weekend and the chance of rain served as a deterrent. Plus, YHC really wanted to get some pull-ups in after making some recent and unfounded grand claims regarding his pull-ups ability. The BLIMPS (with running) and Bearpees are favorites of YHC and the PAX crushed it this morning. YHC had intended to do the Bearpees on the field, but it was extra swampy this morning.

A decent chunk of conversation this morning focused on the current response of the public/schools/etc to the coronavirus. Prayers for anyone affected…as well as for peace and patience as we all deal with some interruptions in our lives.

Prayers also for PeeDee and his family as they deal with the loss of his mother this week.

Have a great Friday everyone!

9 + Annie dog strong for a original route with some hill work having to run down Twin Team then turn and run back up Twin Team! We thought we would be 10 strong but original fartsacker did the normal!

Beautiful morning as the sunrise is showing it’s face before this weekends time change….
Always enjoy leading a group group of guys!

11 Chilly Pops posted to see what was on the Doozy Q board for today at Twin Team

5:29:30 YHC announces the 30 second to start mark but PAX sees lights coming in hot, YHC decides to wait for BoBerry. Rosie says he wants his moneys worth so off we go, BoBerry will find us.

Mosey to the bus loop for COP – 10 of each exercise with ascending Burpees in between

DQ’s, Helicopters, Cherry Pickers, Copperhead Squats, American Hammers, WWII, Flutter Kicks (YHC calls them Scissor Kicks) (OC hears it Sugar Socks) and it was all down hill from there. Squats (IC), Jump Squats and Calf raises. If we did the Burpees right we end with 10 and away we go.

Mosey to Twin Team for everyone’s favorite Man Killers

PAX sees glow stick along Twin Team and a medicine ball so somewhat knows what they are in for.

Find a Partner but PAX moves up the hill as a team, this is a modified triple check so using the last 6 exercises of the COP PAX starts with American Hammers while the first group of partners carries the medicine ball over head to next glow stick partners switch and back to PAX. Next set of parner carries the ball up to the next glow stick PAX does WWII’s until that set of partners returns repeat-o to the top and back.

had to end before the bottom due to time, return to the flag

Numbers/names YHC took us out

NMS:

YHC had to bring the court into order this morning as much as possible when PAX lost count because of OC’s Sugar Socks and the rabbit hole that conversation went down. Man Killers took care of most of that but about half way down the hill and after PeeDee introduced us to the aroma of last nights crab cakes, the mumble chatter about OC’s Sugar Socks and a reference to his between the sheet performance was made and all control was again lost. Tobit as always the ever persistent mathematical guru that he is made reference to the fact that the glow sticks were not evenly placed and Nancy Lopez seconded that. YHC placed the glow sticks ahead of time and did not have time to measure each distance out but never fear the next time this event is done the glow sticks will be placed every 200′ by measure. However Tobit may have to carry (the chain) every time the PAX moves.

Notes and Prayers:

Upchuck is asking for patience and prayers with kids as he and his wife deal with a strong willed child. YHC would have to ask for the same prayers for his family

Winter Tour

Eleven eager PAX made their way to Twin Team to look for some snow. A thorough investigation of the AO yielded zero snow on the ground but we found a beatdown on the way:

COP: SSH, 10 Burpees, Don Qs, Helicopters, Merkins, Flutterkicks. Down to track/stadium: DORA of 100 Merkins, 200 Jumpsquats, 300 LBCs.

Stay on field – Bear Crawl width of field, 20 Burpees, Bernie Sanders across. Pickle pounders. Mosey to stadium entrace gazebo: 3 rounds of 30 Donkey Kicks & B2W. Head up to BWES playground – 4 Rounds of 8 Pull-ups & 10 WWIIs.

Back to front of BWES under cover partner up – 2 sets of 30 PLTs. Back to flag, YHC took us out. Prayers for Wild Thing & his family, DTH mission trip, and YHC FIL.

Annoucements: Wild Thing M’s memorial service is tomorrow morning in Daville, see pre-blast. Also Poker at Orange Crush place tomorrow night.

NMS – In order to keep progress on Winter Tour going YHC signed up for Q today. Woke up early in anticipation of ice on car & nasty roads. Instead YHC found himself at AO at 5:10. Luckily Doublemint prepared for the non-existent weather as well and arrived early. Plenty others came in hot right before 5:30 and we were off.

Although there was no snow to be had the wind made this maybe the coldest morning so far in the gloom this winter, at least for YHC. Several PAX members were SOP while others were more covered up, you know who you are. Wilson appeared to be 4-5 layers in under his jacket.

Dora on the field got the pax warmed up. One team needed some help on their math in the Dora, can’t remember who that was. Donkey Kicks under the roof were nice but someone ripped one and blamed it on Cooper.

The more veteran pax members took advantage of their experience on the WWIIs on the playground as they opted for grass instead of the sand or mulch areas. Doublemint had to shake out a ton of sand on the final mosey.

YHC hopes the SOJ pax enjoyed their soft 2 hour school delay.

13 Warriors and Cooper the dog arose on the the Day of Love to better themselves in the gloom!

1 Mile out

10 Rounds – 10 Pull Ups, 10 merkins, 15 Squats

Lovely Day for the Murph gents! You all rocked it! Appreciate Tobit keeping the round count straight. Also good to see our visitor from Mobile again, Pew, join us today. If you have not heard Pew’s cadence it is a must hear!

On this day of love gents, let’s remember to love on our wives, kids, and family, but most importantly remember Gods Love for us is the precedent and he is the true meaning of LOVE.

Numbers/Names THC took us out

NMS:

The night before as YHC was thinking of what pain could be brought to the PAX at Twin Team and as YHC was listening to the rain. YHC decided to abort what he really wanted to do which was Suicides on Twin Team and last minute decided to head for cover. Little did YHC know that the rain would somewhat stop and it would be 57 degrees at 5:30 AM in February. YHC decided to stick to the plan because the last time he deviated from his original flight plan there was talk of a Q mutiny. Well now YHC has 10 unused glow sticks that will be coming to an AO near you.

5 Super Bowl ready warriors showed up to Twin Team this morning. The Q sheet had WOJO until about 2 days ago and then went blank. With no Q the hot potato was called.
