Eleven of the faithful posted at Grid Iron on a chilly February morning, YHC having filled the minds and hearts of the faithful with promises of an FNG. The FNG was a no-show, but we had work to do. The Q started off by calling merkins but doing side straddle hops just to see who would brought the right level of obeisance to the workout. We then moved on to the actual merkins, followed by hillbillies, LBCs, and some other things. The PAX was led to grassy knoll behind the schoolhouse, and YHC kicked off “ten minutes of whatever” with…
12 mostly middle-aged warriors awaited a workout in the somewhat mild confines of Short Pump north. Fireman Ed had the idea of using cards from a game called Crowns. Was it seamless? Heck no but the last 30 minutes was a pretty dam% good workout. COP: DQs, Helicopters, merkins, FMs, ACs. Mosey with cards. Cards ranged from 4 to 10 with a few jokers that are 15 of the drawer’s choice. Red – burpees, green – 2 count mountain climbers, yellow – WWIIS, blue – squats, black – jump squats. At first we were running a lot and doing all…

Circle Of Pain In reflection of it being both my VQ and BQ as well as the start of the magnificent 6-Nations Rugby Championship we started this weeks COP with an introduction to the principles of the game of rugby and linked it to one of our key guiding lights of “Leave no man behind; but leave no man where you find him”. There was a big focus on working together as a team and encouraging the hares to run back for the tortoises. Pre workout warmers and post workout refreshments had a 6-Nations (English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, French and…
