Three posted to the Punisher on MLK Day under clear skies and in cold temperatures.  Turned out we had the same three gents from post from the week before – Johnsonville, Krü, and YHC. The Thang:  We triangled up under the awning adjacent to Holton Elementary for our warmup COP with Mountain Climbers, IWs, DQs, Cherry Pickers, and Arm Circles.  While warming up, we’d decided on a round robin format for the evening’s workout.  YHC led off with a Mosey to the outdoor classroom followed by 6 rounds of 11 reps each of Carolina Dry Docks and Squats followed by…

Three posted for last week’s Punisher.  We met briefly in the parking lot before hitting the grass for a the COP with Mountain Climbers, IWs, DQs, Russian Soldiers, and Arm Circles.  Comfortable there would be no late arrivers, we moved off campus, moseying south to Wilmington Avenue.  We took the opportunity to knock on the front door of a fellow we’ve been headlocking (Krü and YHC), but he could not come out and play (although the term man-shaming was mentioned). We stayed on Wilmington Avenue in continuing the workout, stopping at each large tree bordering the street’s inside grassy loop…

Six of F3RVA’s finest posted after dark (1830) at the Linwood Holton ES.  The parking lot was mostly filled, and the PTA moms streamed out of the School as we entered the gloom.  Thankfully they refrained from giving catcalls this time.  This is what went down, more or less: Warmup with 20x ssh, 20x don quiotes, 20x imperial walkers, 15x scorpion kicks, 10x merkins. Mosey around school clockwise to western side. Drop to knees for Jack Webbs (ascending ladder starting at 1 merkin, on knees 1×4 arm raisers, 2 merkins, on knees 2×4 arm raises, 3 merkins, on knees 3×4 arm raises,…

A PAX of four posted for the NYE Punisher Pub Crawl.  Quick circle and stretch in the schoolyard grass before takeoff.  Hit sidewalk adjacent to school grounds and head east along Laburnum Avenue, left on southeast bound side of Fauquier Avenue, another left on Nottoway Avenue, and a right on MacArthur Avenue to Dot’s Back Inn for one H²O, one cider, and two beers and a little fellowship. Pay up, walk out, and continue south on MacArthur to Nottoway, right on Nottoway, and left on Hermitage Road past Holton Elementary to Kitchen 64 for another round of the same. Pay…

Met up with Krü at Linwood Holton Elementary School for a Christmas Eve edition of the Punisher.  We crossed the front lawn and halted for startup activities including 50 (YHC’s age as of 12/24) x Mountain Climbers (2 count), 10 each of IWs, DQs, Russian Soldiers, Cherry Pickers, and Helicopters, and 50 x Large Arm Circles (25 forward and 25 reverse – all single count). Moved around the school for 50 x Jerkins, Merkins, Squats, and WWIIs which we completed in 5 sets of 10 reps each.  Grabbed a portable FM radio from the truck and sauntered off campus for…

YHC hit the Holton parking lot last Monday uncertain if there would be any others partaking of the evening’s Punisher.  Was pleasantly surprised to find EF Hutton, Krü, and Adderall there and ready for whatever. Mosey to the west side of the school for initial COP with SSHs, IWs, DQs, Russian Soldiers, Helicopters, and Arm Circles.  Move to the school wall, partner up, and complete a Dora taking turns completing 100 Merkins, 200 Squats, and 300 Flutter Kicks (two count) with a Bear Crawl to a nearby tree and a jog back. Saunter around the back side of the school…

Glad to see EF Hutton in the LHES parking area as YHC crossed the school yard ahead of the first Punisher in December.  We moseyed to the Hermitage Road side of the school for a startup COP with conversational offerings of most of the usual – Imaginary Jump Ropes, DQs, IWs, Russian Soldiers, Helicopters, and Arm Circles. Quick mosey to the outdoor classroom for Elevens with Derkins and Squats.  Jogged around the back to the playground for playground swing with Jerkins alternating with some Mary.  Moved to the far northeastern corner of the school ground for sidewalk square escalator alternating…

Nightcrawler and I met up for last week’s Punisher with heavy rains falling.  We took advantage of the roofed outdoor classroom completing all of the evening’s workout under shelter, including: “C”OP with mostly the usual then Attila Sequence – 20 Dips, 20 Step Ups (one leg), 20 Dips, 20 Step Ups (other leg), 20 Dips.  Eight minute squat Tabata followed by Derkins at each bolt location per small picnic table seat (12 rounds) and one round of Incline Merkins at the larger table (6 rounds). Completed several rounds of other exercises on and off of the picnic tables including Carolina…

Before the next one, here’s the last one – from the first Monday evening after the changing of the clocks with evening gloom re-emerging.  From a parking lot full of cars – primarily for parents attending parent/teacher conferences, we began the evening with some quick words and then a mosey to the grass. COP with mostly favorites – Invisible Jump Ropes, IWs, DQs, Russian Soldiers, Helicopters, and Arm Circles.  Move across the yard to the school wall for Triple Check – People’s Chair, Arm Plank, and mosey to Laburnum and back. Head around the corner of the school to the…
