13 PAX ventured over the Bridge and into the gloom. We were blessed with a (relatively) cool and dewy morning to share with the men at the Bridge. YHC got a taste of this AO last month and couldn’t wait to come back. With Shakedown on partial I.R. (BMX is a young man’s game apparently…) and TYA still partially cyborg, the Q was up for grabs – how could one resist!? After donning some new gloves and giving the house mascot (Lucy the dog) a quick scratch – the team got after it. Here’s what happened… THE THANG WARMERAMA: Mosy…
Browsing: The Bridge
13 indomitable spirits, some on their natural legs and some on walking sticks, rose into the post dawn sun to face the challenges The Bridge had on offer. Conditions were, yet again, 70 and sunny. According to the ants crawling up YHC’s shoe, the following might have happened: COP: Introductions, refresh relationships with old friends, and onto the exercising…slow mosey around the outer driveway. Rotation of exercises on the mosey…slide feet side to side, then into a karaoke, the flip to karaoke on the other side, then slide feet the other way. Easy to understand in person. Finish with a…
A dozen men posted for the Saturday beatdown and fellowship at the Bridge Ministries in Cumberland county. YHC has never experienced quite a large group at this AO, and to say it was uplifting is an understatement. Men with varying backgrounds, stories of adversity, redemption and hardship, coming together with one common purpose…. Saab took the Q today while TYA provided his usual commentary, which reminded the PAX what F3 is really about. Saab abides
A band of 6 pulled each other up and worked as a team in the latest edition of The Bridge. Conditions remained 70 and sunny. According to the puppy who loved TYA, the following might have happened: Warm up loop around campus. Bro-code. Circle up. TYA led us in the COP. First rule broken 90 seconds in. No matter. Onward. Cherry pickers, Don Quixotes (perhaps at your own pace), Imperial Walkers, LBCs, flutter kicks. Try not to sit in the poop. Partner up for a triple check. Timer runs to the gate, but don’t leave. Really. Other fellas do pole…
Eleven men of purpose assembled just after The Gloom to conduct the latest version of The Bridge. With temperatures soaring to 70 and conditions sunny, 8 PAX started on-time and were joined shortly by 3 more. According to the three dogs running and jumping to stay warm, the following likely happened: COP Mixture of SSHs, Don Quixotes, Helicopters, LBC’s, WWII’s, and TYA’s version of a merkin (like a flip-side version of Vinny’s flutter kicks). Or, something like that. 12 Days of Christmas Surely, you all know this starts with 1 burpee. Two WWIIs, 3 of something else, and so on…
0729 and a crew of 3 rolled out of the bunk house to see what YHC had in store. COP- SSH, Arm Circles, Ukrainian Soldiers, LBC, Flutter Kicks. Triple Check- partner 1 runs to black top, partner 2 squats, partner 3 merkins. YHC paired and kept workout in sync. Upon finishing, time to grab coupons and head to the entrance. The Bridge has an awesome track within the compound. Everyone knows YHC likes to cover miles! 50 reps of arm curls with coupon, run 1 lap. 50 reps of overhead presses with coupon, run 1 lap. 50 squats with coupon,…
YHC drove up to serve up a beat down for 5 pax at the Bridge. COP: Ssh, DonQs, IWs, Mertens, Flutterkicks. With 6 we did extensive partner work: Catch me if you can, PLTs, Dora, then some block work, including Block the Plank. Finish with some sprints and Ring of Fire. NMS: Solid pax and morning at the Bridge. Highly recommend taking a Q.
