Small preparations ensued prior to YHC announcing the commencement of a plethora of activity. Here is how things went down. Mosey down the drive to the cul-de-sac. Stopping off at various light poles for burpees and squats to allow for some of the PAX attend to minor detours. Circle up for introductions and disclaimers. Warm ups included: SSH, Jazzercise, Deadman Hang, Cherry Pickers, Helis?, Merkins with a touch of DQ’s. All seemed right with the world, so…

It was all a blur of raw manliness and heavy music, and no I’m not talking about Snuff’s late night escapes into the underbelly of Richmond’s Euro goth S&M scene. Nope, it was just 8 Forge veterans swallowing hard on the DRP and conquering the jester one more time, as follows: The THANG:  WARMERAMA: Mosey loops for 3 latecomers then circle up in front of the High School Welcome & Disclaimer Variable IC Reps to get the muscles warm top to bottom, with a few bus loop runs and Bernie’s mixed in) COP #1: Mosey over to the mini loop…

8 studs hit some track work for the win in the balmy spring weather. WARMERAMA: Mosey to turf field and circle up on 50 yard line. YHC led PAX through SSHs, Dead Man Hangs, Cherry pickers, ‘Mericans, planks, LBCs, and a smidgen of Broga to tickle Last Call’s fancy.  COP #1 (and only) Affectionately called “Don’t Let Doozy Lap Ya,” all but one of us (shout out to DTH) succumbed.

All but one of the PAX got the pre-pre-blast memo to bring their pickup truck to the inaugural NTB beatdown of 2024. Hoping to shake-off the “bum” label given out by Dr. Try Hard in last week’s backblast, YHC was ready to bring the pain. In between the parking lot pre-huddle and the post-COT shooting crossbows at Dealer, the school security system captured footage of something like this: WARMARAMA Mosey down hill to the next parking lot to circle up for the welcome/disclaimer/core principles. Begin with IC SSH while the stragglers catch up to the PAX and continue on with…

The fiery Forge welcomed 8 blades ready for hammering, including 7 SOJ regulars and 1 WestHo escapee. It seems a hostage exchange with FW may be in order to get NTB back to home turf… JK, we’ll keep Lockjaw and ya’ll can have that bum NTB. Here’s how these 8 HIM’s got after it: The THANG:  LOVE HILL WARMERAMA:  Mosey to the bottom of Love Hill and circle up Welcome & Disclaimer Variable IC Reps with a run up and down the hill between sets COP #1:  BATTAN DEATH MARCH  Line up at bottom of handicap ramp, Lunge walk length…
