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.

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.

-Singer

Three regulars and one close by newbie joined up for a lounge-esque Friday morning workout at Twin Team.

Warm up while the pax awaits OC’s arrival – Don Q, SSH

Mosey over to JRHS track. Beast – PAX choices – merkins, squats, SSH, flutters, etc.

one round of blimp on the track

mosey to bleachers, one round of love hill, abort to field, complete love hill (merkins, freddies)

mosey back to BWE, wall squats with various wall workouts, one person LARPs a basketball shot and returns.

mosey to point of beginning, various ab exercises.

Fun workout this morning gents. YHC tried to maintain the spirit of the lounge while covering some ground, keeping most paces at a mosey with plenty of chatter. OC arrived early to ruck off some steam. Rosie kept us in check and Pad Thai found a new workout location 10 minutes from his house.

-Singer

YHC was thrilled to see 7 HIMs in attendance this morning at the Twin Team Lounge this morning. Temperatures and attitudes were near perfection as always.

Warm-a-rama: Back and forth across the blacktop. In conversation warmup with Ukranian soldiers, walking high knees, quad stretch, jogs, etc. Then circle up for some stretching to get those muscles loose. You can’t rush perfection at the Lounge.

Thang 1: Quad-check. Run, Squats, Merkins, LBC’s.

Thang 2: Ascending 4 corners. YHC pulled a fast one on the group and went to 50, 60, 70 and 80 on the corners vs. starting over. The PAX rallied and rebelled appropriately. We ended with 80 monkey humpers which was an appropriate transition to the weekend activity that we’re all sure to have.

Number-a-rama / Prayer Requests and YHC took us out.

Credit to Rosie for the joke of the day. YHC apologies to Last Call for making him sweat in the Lounge. Great to have Bullseye back with the group.
