Handshake put out a signal, YHC answered. Can’t have Canseco without McGwire or the one guy from Mighty Ducks 2 without the other depending how old you are. Twelve guys wondered which Bash Bros would show. Here’s what transpired: Handshake Q Mosey down the street from the clubhouse to a cul-de-sac COP SSHs Imperial Squats Ukranian Soldiers Don Quixotes Hand Release Merkins Inverted Scorpion Kicks Pencil Roll WWIIs Probably something else Mosey back to clubhouse lot With Partner, run to other side of lot and do 10 Jump Squats, run back for 10 Boxing Cockroaches, 10 Booyah Merkins, and 10…
Thirteen tough taxpayers came out to Hoedown on tax day. We went off campus to pay our fair share, the Westhoe way:. COP: SSH, Don Qs, Imperial Walkers, Helicopters, Merkins, Flutterkicks, LBCs. Mosey down to Spottswood for a marginal rate escalator: 10% Bracket – 10 Merkins, 12% – 12 LBCs, 22% – 22 Jump Squats, 24% – 24 Box Cutters, 32% – 32 Carolina Dry Docks, 35% – 35 WWIIS, 37% – 37 Burpees. Each bracket was a higher spot up Spottswood hill. Start at bottom and repeat exercises going into the higher bracket. After 37 Burpees were done we…
4 pax met at 8pm tonight to test the legs and the gear for 10 miles of rucking. Thanks to YHC’s impeccable route and mostly successful navigation of said route, we got the 10 miles in and went by the Swift Creek Resevoir at least twice. That hurt. TCLAPS to Rosie for completing the training at 1 percent personal battery according to his watch. Lessons learned: bring water and snacks, wear comfortable shoes, give your shoulders a break so your hands don’t go numb. Also Tobit has more AKAs than Old Dirty Bastard (RIP).
A notorious nine launched from Dogpile at 0400 for a walking tour of Richmond. Conditions were 70 and sunny, perfect for a 10-mile CSAUP. From Dogpile we trekked north to The Diamond for our first pit stop. YHC attempted to demonstrate how to tie a bowline knot, but it was rope-master Machismo who educated the PAX. We headed south down Hermitage into the heart of the Fan and lost Big Rig somewhere in the neighborhood as his time with us was also planned to be medium and sweet. Eastbound down Monument/Franklin to Monroe Park for pitstop #2. Continue south to…
COP: I tried to mosey to the bottom of the Amphitheater. The gate was closed. I hopped over a railing and then F3RVA’s lone Harvard grad showed me that you can just open it. Onward to the bottom for arm circles, cherry pickers, DQs, SSHs, Mt Climbers, WWIIs, Merkins. Mosey to the typical warm-up circle for The Downward Spiral: 10 burpees, 10 Merkins, 10 WWIIs and 10 Jump Squats, run the circle and do 30 SSHs at the other side. Back to the place you started for 9 of everything w/ another helping of 30 SSHs on the side. Then…
13 SOJ gloom bangers circled up at Rockwood and were immediately inspired and vitalized by the groovy moves of their Q shaking hips to La Bouche’s “Be My Lover” – YES, it’s back to the 90’s night club for these lucky MC Hammer wannabe’s. Here’s why they kept singing “don’t hurt me”… 😎🎸🎤 The THANG: Moseyrama lap around the lot and circle up in a grassy area for the Welcome & Disclaimer A few stretching reps IC with A-ha’s “Take Me On” WHAT IS LOVE, by Haddaway Squats to the beat Burpees for every “Don’t Hurt Me” (total of x20…
6 men showed up to challenge themselves to ruck 10 miles this morning. Many of the world’s problems were solved as we rucked throughout Rockwood Park and North Chesterfield. More details to come on that. Thanks to the crew for the company and the conversation!
10 Morning Wood ruckers burdened with over 400 pounds of steel and sand embraced a beautiful morning on the Rockwood back trails. Big Rig forgot his ruck and opted (like the warrior he is!) to carry all 60 pounds of Sandy for the 55 minute, 2.8 miles. Mudslide was kind enough to lead the PAX along a quaint lakeside trail and we enjoyed deep conversation and a purple orange sunrise over the misted lake. Many MANY reasons to be thankful. 🙏 Yours, DTH
4 Early Risers made it out for what will now be known as Premature Acceleration. Starting at 5am, we hit the streets of Mayfair Estates. Lots of chatter on many topics this morning. Consensus of the group was PapaJohns is the best national pizza chain. YHC likes Marco’s out of the chains, but was told they are regional. The book 1984 makes Heist cringe. YHC’s leading of the group across the streets reminded Heist to give the PSA to the group to get enough life insurance, after our near death experience crossing Hull Street. YHC reminded everyone to pack baby…
