YHC and Nightcrawler posted for the first February Punisher.  We left the parking lot for the gym-side school yard for the COP, completing some of the usual with SSHs, Russian Soldiers, DQs, IWs, and Arm Circles. We headed around the school to the end of the bus loop for several Tabata/EMOM-style rounds.  For the first round, we completed 25 x LBC varieties, including the usual, right leg straight, left leg straight, right leg crossover, left leg crossover, both legs straight, reverse crunch, and usual again.  For the second round, we completed 15 x each of Merkins and Slow Squats.  For…

A PAX of three assembled on Monday night for The Punisher.  We said hello to one another in the parking lot and sauntered to the edge of the lot for the initial COP with Jump Ropes, IWs, DQs, Russian Soldiers, and Arm Circles.  We splashed through several puddles around the back of LHES to the pavilion for the Attila sequence with Dips x 20, Step Ups x 20 per leg, Dips, Step Ups, and one more round of Dips. We moved off campus moseying north on Hermitage Road completing 20 Squats at Clarement Avenue and 20 Merkins at Nottoway Avenue. …

Pleasant temperatures and breeze from the west made posting easier for three of us at this week’s Punisher.  Change Order opted out although YHC briefly entertained an offsite mosey to the Hermitage Road renovation he is overseeing.  Sonny finished run prior to the workout and arrived at the site just before the start. We stuck to the school site and went at it like so:  COP with SSHs, Hillbillies, IWs, DQs, LBCs, APDs, and Arm Circles. Mosey to the blacktop behind the school for 4 corners with 10 x 2 Count Mountain Climbers, 20 x Carolina Dry Docks, 30 x…

A PAX four strong posted for last week’s Punisher.  We assembled in the Linwood Holton Elementary School parking lot and headed to the grass for the initial COP with SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Don Quixotes, and Arm Circles. We moved a short distance to the school wall for a Quadruple Check – yes, like the other, but with 4 of things instead of 3 – People’s Chair, Plank, 6 Inches, and a mosey to Laburnum and back.  We headed around the back of the property to the playground and completed alternating exercises at the benches circling the playground area.  On the…

Two posted for the after-snow, rainy Punisher last week.  YHC met Nightcrawler in the Holton parking lot and we did a short mosey to the Laburnum-facing school yard for a COP with Invisible Jump Ropes, Imperial Walkers, Don Quixotes, Russian Soldiers, and Arm Circles. We moved to the covered porch outside the school gym for LBCs x 200 and APDs x 100.  We then began a jog through the Laburnum Park neighborhood stopping near the beginning and end of the grassy median strips along our route for 15 x various chest/arm exercises (including Merkins, Wide Grip Merkins, and Carolina Dry…

A PAX of three posted for the third F3RVA workout of 2018.  A benefit of the evening start was the positively balmy 21 degree temperature at game time.  We went at it like so: YHC and J’ville started with Invisible Jumpropes, SSHs, Invisible Jump Ropes, SSHs, Don Quixotes, Russian Soldiers, and Merkins.  We kept an eye out for E.C., an FNG and neighbor of YNC, who, following some mild headlocking, agreed to post.  After finding E.C. at the Holton bus loop, we completed another brief round of warm-ups with more Invisible Jump Ropes, SSHs, and Don Quixotes followed by Imperial…

Merry Christmas all.  There was no Christmas Day Punisher. YHC apologizes to my brothers for breaking convention, but this post includes details on two past Punisher offerings – from December 11th and December 18th. A PAX of two posted for the December 11th version of The Punisher.  Sonny and I left our houses and arrived separately at the AO.  Mosey to the front of the school for the initial COP with SSHs, Don Quixotes, Imperial Walkers, and Arm Circles.  Head around the school to the bus loop for a Dora 1-2-3, taking turns completing 100 x Incline Merkins, 200 x…

Social events and sickness limited attendance at The Punisher to one this week.  After a little warmup in the school yard, YHC completed a mosey around southern Ginter Park and ended with some exercises on the playground equipment behind the school.  Expect attendance to at least double for next week.

Two of us posted for The Punisher this week under dry conditions and temperatures in the mid-50s, surely warmer than for Monday’s morning workouts.  We set out from the parking lot at 6:30 PM and moseyed to the Laburnum Avenue side of Holton Elementary and began this Thang:  Startup COP with 20 x Invisible Jump Ropes, 15 x Imperial Walkers, 15 x Don Quixotes, 15 x Hillbillies, and Arm Circles as per usual. Began variation of 4 corners from the same side of the school.  Jog to the school wall for 5 Mountain Climbers.  Move to the edge of the…

Three of the faithful and one FNG posted for an evening edition of the Punisher.
