  • The Venus de Milo of Workouts

    Introduction. Disclaimer. Announcement that this workout would have no arms (savin’ em for Circus). Pigskin made the witty comment, “like Venus de Milo”, and the title was solidified.

    COP done surrounding an intersection in West Broad Village with everyone on a different corner. That was a first. SSHs, DQs, Cherry Pickers, jump 1x, 2xs, and 3xs as high as you can. Recover. Done recovering. Let’s mosey to the Gazebo.

    The thang: 5 Imperial Squat Walkers, 10 Heals to Heaven, 10 single-count lunges, 10 crunchy frogs at the Gazebo and then run around the lake – rinse and repeat.

    BTTF w/ 5 min to spare: Mary was the call (LBCs, FMs, Peter Parkers, 30-sec leg hold). Recover. Mission Accomplished: No arm work at all. Nice work men!

    Numbers. Names.

    Announcements: 1.) There is no set amount of time you must be in F3 before Qing. If you haven’t Q’ed before, give it a go. Ask someone about it and get signed up. You won’t regret it. 2.) Plus One’s band, Heaviside, who rock btw, and can be found on Spotify and Apple Music, will be playing this Sat, 9/27, at Basic City Beer Co (Plus One, if i got that wrong, please correct me in the comments). First band is at 7pm. His band goes on 2nd: Not too bad for any old fogies considering going. 3.) Green Hornet, Gold Digger and Borat know how to drive. They arrived today without Roger Roger’s Clown Car.

    Prayer Requests: Prayers for Roger Roger’s FIL who is currently in the hospital. We missed you today RR – hope to see you at Circus.

    YHC took us out.

    Do something for someone else today! SYITG!

  • Lick my love pump

    This group went to eleven, including two drummers who may have combusted. Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It’s just not really widely reported.

    We started by chasing Pigskin to Short Pump Park and then hit the pavilion for some additional warmups. Lighthouse requested 10 burpees and I obliged. After that start, we did helicopters and then arm circles (aka Green Hornet helicopters), then some heals to heaven, hammers and merkins.

    11 people partnered up somehow and we did 6 rounds of one partner doing a lap (without running into the repair fence) and the other doing an exercise: the 6 exercises were: dips, step-ups, LBCs, derkins, squats and dollies.

    We made it back to Poca, did 1-2 laps of the bus circle to hit 3 miles and then some Copperhead Squats and a ring of fire. Thanks for reading this far. It’s such a fine line between stupid, and uh…clever.

  • Whoopsie Q

    16 warriors braved the morning dew and embarked on a 3.3 journey which took us through the enchanted forest to soak city and the short pump orbital. The temperature was 70 and sunny and it went something like this-

    Thanks for letting me host this beatdown!

  • Wally Got A Haircut

    After Wally was complimented for going to the groomer and I was told I probably should go too, we were off. Pigskin left a little early to arrive on time and Roger Roger and Green Hornet left a little late to arrive a little late, but we all made it – except for Professor X and Tool Time and Blackout – where are those dudes?!?

    COP at West Broad Village: Introduction, totally forgot the disclaimer (send me your medical bills), arm circles, DQs, cherry pickers, recover.

    The Thang: The Pax was informed that we’d randomly stop and perform MICS (10 Merkins, 10 Imperial Squat Walkers, 10 Crab Cakes & 10 SSHs). MICS were supposed to be the main event. As a little fun aside, I declared that everyone had Executive Burpee Power and could randomly stop the Pax and demand 5 burpees. If these powers were not exercised, then all remaining burpees would need to be completed by all once BTTF. I thought it was implied that everyone could use this awesome power once. Apparently not. I believe it was Pinto that threw his weight around before leaving COP, then Tater started double dipping, it was burpee madness, I only got about 2 MICS in, my bad shoulder starting hurting, Executive Powers had to be revoked, leaving Plus One without even having used his. Roger Roger said we stopped for burpees 15 times (there were 13 of us). 5 burpees each time. Tater did some quick number crunching and let us know we did exactly 437 burpees. Job well done men!

    BTTF: Numbers. Names. Announcements: You are allowed to sign up to Q WTH. Party at Taters for Pinto and Gypsy on Sat, 9/6, starting around 4pm. Bring a side or dessert. Left of July (Whitesnake’s band) plays at Brambly Park (I googled it, this place looks cool) at 8pm also on 9/6. 2nd F at Firehouse Subs in Innsbrook on Tues, 9/9 at 12pm. No prayer requests today. YHC took us out.

    Special shout out to the still friendly but no longer new guys: Full House and Fortran, way to keep showing up and getting after it. Great to have you guys joining us!

    Moleskin: Look for a chance to be helpful today. Try to think about others a little more and yourself a little less.

    Thx for letting me lead today gents. SYITG!

  • Mountain Sunrise

    12 warriors embraced the gloom for a nice 58 degree workout! One out of town guest joined us as an FNG. Welcome Fortran!

    Warma-Rama

    First we did a half mile mosey to the pad where we it went like this:

    20 SSH

    10 Don Qs

    Stretch 🦋 

    Right leg out

    Left leg out

    10 merkins

    25 LBCs 

    Let’s mosey-

    We head over to the parking deck where we do 10 merkins at each level to the back! Mosey dow And repeat back up to the top this time 20 mountain climbers. The sun was starting to peak through for a moment of silence for those not with us. Mosey down to the bottom and pick up the 6. 

    We then mosey to the gazebo where we do 20 dips, 10 squats, 20 dips. We then loop the lake and head to the start of in which it was exactly 45 mins and 3.45 miles. Thanks for letting me host! Welcome Fortran from Harrisonburg!

  • Took the long way home

    We ran through the Wellesley tunnel to the courts and did two rounds of 25 merkins, squats, WW2 and dips with 2 burpees between each exercise (20 total). Then Roger Roger led us the long way home. We did 4 miles (min) and went almost ten minutes over. Long way added about 0.8 miles—oops. Extra credit for everyone and ten demerits for me as Q.

  • Saltlick just wants the Tip…..

    A group of five gathered in the humid gloom to enjoy starting the morning with accountability. We kicked off with the crowd favorite beach body shaper —cul-de-sacs. At each stop along the way down, we did 15 Merkins and 15 LBCs. 10 Cul-De-Sacs. You can do the math! Smaller group than we have seen lately with several of our regulars missing today. Two young bucks have become regulars now and the Q was the War Daddy, odd experience. With a recent injury to my right wrist my merkins had to be modified to finger tip merkins on my right side, Salt lick decided that should be the title. We covered 3.6 miles. Fantastic effort all around! Nice mumble chatter today learning more about Bango and Plus One, AI and coding, quickbooks and churches…. Make the week great. Prayers for Jordan and his service to our country and the sense of isolation he is battling. Reach out to your brothers! Blessed to be able to lead today.

  • WTH was wet & bussin’

    With Pax from the last four decades, this Q with no rizz took us down to the Wells Fargo for some warmups and then down Park Terrace for some neighborhood work. “Yeet” went Pinto as we hit four cul-de-sacs down Waycross and did 15 merkins, 15 jump squats and 15 heels to heaven at each. After Pinto’s weird flex we ran down Park Terrace some more and look a left down Huntwick Ct. After partnering up, one partner ran around a sus circle while the other did lunges and monkey humpers and at the time to switch, the other partner ran around a different sus circle (yes, there are two different circles here). We did two rounds of this and then a third round where we switched directions and did one round of your partner doing shoulder taps and plank jacks. I was shook watching Salt Lick re-enact how we got his name.

    We headed back and got to the flag on time with exactly 3 miles. No cap!

    No noob’s today and it is great to have pax in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. Everyone accepted the wetness and ate today. Pigskin and Lighthouse are in Europe and we still had ten. WTH used to be so basic but now it is fire!

  • WTH Convergence….at least it felt that way

    After a hot potato of whose turn it was to Q, YHL took the lead and we headed west. Stop off at Wells Fargo lot for warm up. 15 side straddle hop, 15 Ukrainian soldiers, 10 Dan ques, 10 Merkins, 20 LBC‘s, recover and back headed west towards the retirement community. Stop off at vacant office parking lot for a triple check: pacer to the third light pole with Merkins and WW2s as the exercises. Once completed, get moving west again. We make it to the retirement home and We do another triple check with pacer running around the carport, the other two exercises of reverse crunches and squats. Once completed time to head east back to the flag. Stop off at our office parking lot: 10 quick Burpee’s(lighthouse and whitesnake love them), head back to the flag. Pulled up a little bit after time but got 3.5 miles of run in and a good bit of exercise. The pack seem seemed happy that they got their moneys worth this morning. Nice to have a large group with us on our Wednesday workout today. Several prayer concerns lifted up, homegrown half and 10 K coming up August 16.. reach out to somebody who may need to hear a friendly voice that you haven’t seen in a while. Thanks for letting me lead

  • Just another brick in the village

    Seven supreme athletes not named Brick went to West Broad Village in search of brick.

    We ran to the entrance off Three Chopt and did some warmups and then went exploring for brick intersections, many with circles in the middle. There were ten. We celebrated 5 of them with 10 burpees each, 1 with 20 monkey humpers, 1 with 25 WWII, 1 with 20 two count flutters, 1 with 20 jump squats and 1 with 20 HRM. The Pax were not as impressed as I was with the beauty of these intersections. I will need to take them back there again.

    After that fun we ran north to Broad street and took the nice path in front of Trader Joes. We then went South on John Rolfe and took the path to Short Pump Park. Ran to end of the path, took a nice whiff of dog piss and shit and then turned back. Headed to the flag for roughly 3 miles total.

    We found lots of brick but no Brick. But it did get me to text him when I got home.

    Hope to see you. Yes you, at the Bridge on Saturday. Reach out to me for a ride!
