Nineteen, nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh, nineteen, nineteen warriors of The Gloom stepped forth onto the frozen blacktop of Buckingham in the latest edition of The Bridge. Conditions remained steady at 70 and sunny. According to Mr. Yoder’s extended situational observation report, the following might have happened: 07:29: pre-game introductions and re-introductions. 07:30: Let’s mosey, or, as some do, mossy. 07:31: COP Circle up. Disclaimer, mangled. Purpose, mangled. First exercise, SSHs, in cadence, full-throated, no mangling. X52, 4-count. Dead man hang. Fudd’s Wife. Right leg high. Left leg high. Wilson’s wife.

a strong group of dedicated men showed up at WAWA ready to get it on. About 15 min into the trip to Buckingham a trash truck on fire blocked the entire road – dead in the water for a min. We made several attempts to get a path around but to no avail. Rudy lead the charge, got us through and we were back on our way. Coming in hot, Cookie was there and got the go ahead that we could work the men out regardless of being late for the desired length of abuse time. I was ready to…

YHC and Broadway took the banana clown truck to Buckingham to pound the pavement with 5 Bridge badasses. As usual – it was an excellent experience with an amazing group of HIMs. If you are looking for a humbling and inspiring experience, come to the Bridge!! These guys pushed it hard, and shared some really amazing personal stories. The mascot pups roaming the grounds sniffed the following beatdown. Warmarama roaming warm-up: Football drills, merkins, squats, calf raises Light Pole Suicides Run Down, Bernie Back 2 Burpees Increase a light pole each time, increase 2 reps of burpees each time (up…

Make an Impact at The Bridge

This post is about two things: Men who make an impact. Men who take the lead, not for themselves, but on behalf of others. If either of those topics interests you, read on. The Bridge is a ministry-driven school in Buckingham, Virginia, about an hour or so west of Richmond. There, men who are transitioning from being incarcerated to being free (again) spend about a year learning a variety of trades (e.g., welding, HVAC, carpentry, mechanical skills, and so forth) so that, when they are released, they have sufficient skills and structure to be (we hope) independent, well-functioning members of…

Eleven men turned the Struggle into Success at the latest edition of The Bridge. Conditions remained 70 and sunny. According to the abundant wildlife at Horsepen Lake State Park, the following might have happened: Introductions among men. Shaking of hands. Providing of names. Verbal indications of Brotherhood. Setting the state for the Beat Down to follow. Mosey around The Bridge Ministry campus before circling up at the basketball court. Disjointed disclaimer and other substandard recitations of purpose. IYAKYAK. COP: 50 SSHs, 4 countDead Man HangDownward dog (it’s The Bridge, open only to men, so Ms and their exercises did not…

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…

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 Bridge Extended

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…
