It seems the men of the Circus have their expectations around the ways to park, the amount of running in a workout, and mumble chatter. YHC hopefully gave some disappointment and others satisfaction – but that is life. Circle up for COP. Lots of good stretching! Off to the bus loop for triple check 1. Partner 1 runs the bus loop. Partner 2 does an assortment of halos, tricep extensions behind the head, and swings. Lots of groaning. Stationary triple check 2. Partner 1 is the timer with an array of five sets each of workouts including lawnmowers, overhead presses,…

In the vibrant town of Fitville, nestled amidst rolling hills, there lived a group of nine workout warriors. Every Thursday at the crack of dawn, precisely at 5:30 AM, they converged at the outdoor gym, a rugged yet picturesque spot overlooking the town, where the ghost of Mills E. Godwin, a legendary fitness enthusiast from Fitville’s past, was said to linger, watching over their workouts with a spectral eye. Whitesnake, with his lightning-fast reflexes and unwavering determination, assumed the lead role among the warriors, his presence electrifying the air with anticipation. As they began their warm-up routine, guided by Pigskins…

Fireman Ed has done his fair share of fartsacking the last few months and so he said “If I Q I need to show up” and that he did. I couldn’t use the weather as an excuse since it was 63 at 5 a.m. With 8 in total we did the following fun activities: COP: DQs, helicopters, HRMs, MCs and LBCs (at half of Jville’s normal pace). Mosey to bus loop. Ascending exercises from 5 to 10 to 15 to 20. Went through sit and presses (Fudd and my least favorite), bench press, lawnmower pulls (which I call rows) and…

Truly, a day to celebrate! In honor of that day, I Q’d today (a month early). And we even had a visitor from Roanoke, Centrum Silver, to celebrate with us!

Once upon a time, in the heart of the enchanted woods, there lived a majestic White Deer named Ivory. Ivory was no ordinary deer; he possessed a magical aura that attracted creatures from all corners of the forest. One day, as Ivory gracefully roamed through the emerald foliage, he stumbled upon a peculiar clearing where six unique animals awaited him. These newfound friends were Whitesnake, a wise and elegant snake; Lighthouse, a luminescent firefly with a beacon-like glow; Pigskin, a playful and skinny boar; Johnsonville, a swift and spirited squirrel; Atilla, an adventurous rabbit, and Mr. Rogers, a gentle and…

Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my daughter. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way. What happened to the doll? It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born. A Festivus for the rest of us. Nine great men joined together a couple days early to celebrate. Before I went over the 5 key parts to F3, I mean Festivus, we did some warmups in honor of my favorite Seinfeld episode that featured…

5 warriors decided to embark on some muscle building/retention over at the friendly confines off Pump Road. 4 of us were ready for COP, one acted as if “COP is for wusses.” Maybe my COP is for wusses. Note for next time. COP: DQs, helicopters, merkins, LBCs, ACs. Theme was to mosey around the whole AO and if something caught my fancy we would do sets of an exercise by such landmark. Exercises included burpees, Lawnmower pulls, bear crawls/crawl bears, sit and presses, 2 count flutter kicks, dips, donkey kicks, halos, bicep curls, bench presses, derkins and a couple that…
