YHC grabbed the Q early this morning with an idea to use some implements that have been taking up space in the car without much use recently. Only 2 other PAX, so we grabbed 3 of the implements of woe – jump rope, and 2 KBs, and made our way to the sidewalk of the newly lit school. That is, of course, after a proper lounge warm up in conversation.

Triple checks served up – KB swings, curls, jump rope x 50 as the timer. We were working so hard we disturbed a frenzy of early morning ants and we were forced to relocate to the front of the school. Next round – squats and press with an optional run around the loop or jump rope as the timer. YHC was the only jumper.

Move to the benches in front for 3 rounds of dips, inclines, step ups, declines, and split squats. Final triple check – longer optional run, around the world and halos. My shoulders are thanking Singer for taking the shorter run on the third round of halos.

A little bit of Mary before the buzzer.

Announcements

MEMORIAL DAY CONVERGENCE – 7am at Tredegar – volunteers to coordinate a pre-ruck? Boberrry has a pre-run; anyone feel moved to take a group to lead? Also looking for anyone (someone on the DL) to bring some post-workout food/drinks.

Prayers abound for those in hospice, sick, going through procedures, or unable to make it out in the gloom.

A good looking mixture of runners and loungers hit the pleasant temps awaiting them at Twin Team Lounge. 2 adventurers went out to explore crevasses deep while 3 stayed for a kettlebell for the ages. Here is how things went down for the bellers.

Mosey to the grassy playing fields behind the school for introductions and salutations. Warm up in conversation that included Helicopters, Dead Man Hang, Ukrainian Soldiers, Pigeon right, Pigeon left, more dead man hang and some other stretching. Mosey back around the school to collect the kettle bells.

Wosey to the black top for a triple check. Timer runs the blacktop perimeter with others performing Goblet Squats and WWII’s. Round 2 included stationary timer performing 20 single count lunges with exercises of American Hammers and Lawnmower Pulls.

Mosey to the bus loop for another triple check. Timer runs the bus circle with other performing Squat Thrusts and KB Swings.

Mosey around to the benches for a quick round of step ups, inclined merkins and dips. BTTVF for 1 minute of mary when runners returned for numbers, names, announcements/prayers. YHC took us out.

Prayers for those participating in Century Classic this evening/tomorrow morning. Best of health and good times hanging out in the van.

NMS: Been a minute since KB was called at the Lounge. It was quickly obvious that YHC had no game plan but good mumble chatter between the bellers. Not many reps when Doozy is the timer but good times were had by all. Singer and Bullseye traveled into Tarrington to the River and back up. Based on their return attire, summer humidity is upon us. Great job today fellas. Thank you for the opportunity to join you this morning.

5 HIM’s joined YHC for a little tour of Twin Team. YHC’s Q focused on conversation and camaraderie with a bit of fitness mixed in. YHC is happy to report that this objective was achieved.

Warmarama: Walk across the blacktop playground, stretching various body parts as we went.

Thang 1: Bro code 4 corners, 3 rounds. Merkins, Squats, LBC’s.

Thang 2: Triple Check: Run around the bus loop, Side Straddle Hops, APD’s/LBC’s.

Thang 3: Mozey to the benches for some step ups, dips and incline merkins.

All this fitness nonsense was wrapped up with a little Broga. What a beautiful morning to be outside.

Per usual, lots of great mumblechatter and laughter at Twin Team. Names and stories have been withheld to protect the innocent and for fear of (likely) incrementation.

Prayer Requests: DD with a bit o’ skin cancer that will get taken care of. This is the call for all of us to get out and see a dermatologist. LC’s friend who is going through a difficult separation and the life upheaval that comes with this event.

Announcements: CSAUP

YHC took us out.

YHC was staring at a solo workout when a jeep pulled into the lot with a couple minues to spare. I was happy to have a PAX to join me only to find that the Tarringtonians had rustled up 3 to make a nice even 4 at Twin Team.

Mosey to the back of the school for a warm up and a Dora w/ merkins, Squats and flutter kicks.

Mosey to the benches in front of the school for some bench work with good form – 3 rounds of dips, bulgarian split squats, incline merkins, step ups and derkins. Stay in the bus loop for a Quad check – run the loop, merkins, WWII, Lunges. Wrap up with 5 minutes of rapid fire Mary.

CSAUP coming up in 2 weeks.

Bridge – next Saturday w/ Corned Beef, 5/10 w. Hermie

Screening and panel led by OBT at the Byrd Theater on 4/28 – see Slack or OBT for free tickets for F3 men.

The perfect prime number of 7 heeded the announcement for the return of the Lounge back to Twin Team. Conditions were brisk but the mumble chatter was hot. After Rosie got some preseason training in, here is how things went down.

Mosey over to the blacktop for introductions and warm ups in conversation as always. Warmups included Helicopters, DQ’s, Dead Man Hang, Jazzercise, Imperial Walkers, Michael Phelps and other leisurely activities.

Proceed to the corner for a quick 4 corners including 10 merkins?, 20 LBC’s?, 30 Squats, and 40 monkey humpers. That was supposed to be it, but some of the PAX had to go the full 45 minutes.

Mosey across the field down to the track for 2 laps with exercises occurring at each corner. These included lunges, squats, APD’s, carolina dry docks, broga, Lt. Dans among others that can not be named.

Mosey out of the stadium and back to the black top along the road stopping along the way for arm circles and calf raises while traffic passed. Mind the hole by the gate.

Wall worm at the black top. PAX hold peoples chair while 1 person bear crawls across the parking lot and takes new position at the front of the line.

Bit of stretching at the end took us to time.

Numbers, Names, Prayers & Announcements. YHC took us out.

Prayers for current and upcoming travelers, especially OC venturing to the islands for spring break.

Announcements included upcoming Century Classic – get your team ready.

NMS: After a long week, the lounge is the perfect remedy. The exercises may not be perfect but the mumble chatter always is. Good laughs and discussions including Senior Assassin, backyard contractors, AAU basketball and pineapples. Always an eventful morning at the Lounge.

Well done fellas. Appreciate the opportunity to enjoy the morning with friends.

6 Southsiders took on Form Friday at TwinTeam. Goals for the day: low reps, good form, keep moving, limit complaints from the Lounge. We were also graced with the triumphant return of Rodeo Clown to the boot camp world after his injury at Twin Team months ago, we avoided the hill and sidewalk so he didn’t have any traumatic flashbacks. Welcome back RC.

After a warm up near the flag we headed off toward JRHS with stops along the way for various exercises – tempo merkins, low and slow Copperhead squats, lunges, and the highlight of the day Slow Count burpees. The PAX were so confused by the exercise Last Call had to watch the demonstration twice to make sure he had it right. A reminder to the Q that double digit burpees was frowned upon at the Lounge kept the first 2 rounds to 4 each.

Travel around the high school with various stops, exercises and mumblechatter. Back to BWES for a few other stops and the benches for the Pigskin favorite Bulgarian Split Squats among other things. Closed out with some Mary and 1 final slow count burpee.
