A PAX eclipsing 40 ditched all common sense for about 18 hours to receive a plentiful helping of each of the three Fs. This was the F3RVA Century Classic. YHC has conversed with a number of individual PAX members about their experience, taking notes during the event and thinking about how to transcribe all of these memories into a backblast. There is no way YHC could do the stories justice by attempting to capture them for the collective PAX. Then, after chatting with Lockjaw and the (sober) Ronnie, it became clear. Treat the backblast as a living backblast. YHC will…

Four of the faithful posted at TwinTeam on a gusty, cool spring morning. YHC (Johnsonville) took Q, and this is what went down, more or less: 50x SSH to warm things up Mosey down to track (about 1/4 mi. away). Commence repeats consisting of 1 ten-rep set — escalating to, and holding at, 5 ten-rep sets — of exercises, immediately followed by a brisk 1/4 mi. repeat around the track, followed by 30 seconds of recovery. Rinso y repita. The exercises included merkins, jump squats, monkey humpers, scorpian Carolina drydocks, diamond merkins, plank jacks, ‘Merican hammers, WWII situps, and imperial…
5 PAX, and at least 1 deer, ignored the forecast of rain to take on Twin Team. Rain actually held off until the very end and weather was a glorious 64 degrees. Spring is now in the gloom: COP – Invisible Jumprope, Don Qs, Merkins, Flutterkicks, Scorpion Kicks, & Hillbillies Mosey to field behind BW, partner up. Partner 1 does Pull-ups while other runs field and back. Switch and repeat. Then head to short side of rectangle (or Square??) for Partner bear crawl. 1st man starts crawling field while other does 10 hand release merkins then runs and switches. Way…
A lucky 7 posted to Twin Team on this sunny and 70 morning that was sneaky cold. YHC pulled in a little before 0515 to see Rosie preparing to get some pre-game miles…SURE, I’m in, let’s go. Well with YHC throttling down the pace, we arrived back at the flag about 30 seconds after the Bell rang — no fear, with DK being the wily veteran that he is, he got COP started with SSHs near the cars in the fresh diesel-fume-filled air…Thanks DK. YHC claimed the Q and we mosey to the side of the school for some fresher…

3 strong posted for a windy morning at Twin Team and spent some time on the hill. Winklevoss and YHC exited the cars thinking it was just the two of us when Mr. Holland rolled in right on time. A lap around the parking lot to collect him and we were off. THANG Head out of the parking lot and up the sidewalk over to TwinTeam. Stop in the cul-de-sac for a warm up of SSH, DQ, Copperhead squats, Merkins and Flutter kicks. Mosey up the road to the third driveway for instructions. Jacobs Ladder – run 10 strides uphill,…
YHC signed up for the Q weeks ago and life throws curve balls, so in bound I had time to reflect on YHC’s dad and think of a workout. Decision made-Hot Potato Q. 6 regular SOJ men and 1 regular West Ender posted this morning to finish the work week! 0530…Mosey to parking lot near JRHS football field! COP- arm circles x 10 small, x 5 big..forward than backward. Copperhead Squat x 15, SSH x 15, Box Cutters x 15, Leg Lifts x 15 and x10 Booyah Merkins. Mosey to track for Merkin Mile. Partner up. As one partner runs one…
YHC was joined by 2 powerful men to greet this warm February morning. Honeymoon was promised some mileage if he posted at TwinTeam instead of RAMM so off we went, need to get those CSAUP miles in. Mosey across the wet field to the front of the track entrance. Stop for a quick warm-up, YHC tried Shakedown’s method of just starting cadence without naming the exercise and Gumbo nailed SSH to start, not much mystery there. Add some DQ and IW To the track for the Mega Beast – run 100 yds – 6 reps, another 100 – 6 reps,…
A PAX of 3 SOJ faithful arrived to a cool frosty morning at TwinTeam ready to see if we could warm up the AO to the proverbial “sunny and 70”. COP: SSH x 20 Copperhead Squats x 15 Imperial Walkers x 20 Merkins x 10 Freddie Mercuries x 20 Mosey to the elementary basketball courts Bear/Lunge 4 Corners – bear crawl from corner 1 – 2 and 3-4, lunge between corner 2-3 and 4-1 Round 1: 10 merkins, 10 jump squats, 10 Mountain climbers, 10 Freddie Mercuries Round 2: 10 Carolina Dry Docks, 20 Copperhead Squats, 30 Mountain Climbers, 40…
Can 1 person be a team? Well, YHC posted solo to Twin Team this morning (as he feared might be the case), but I soldiered on and delivered/received a hearty beatdown that is stuff of legend. It went something like this: Mosey to covered area near parking lot (in case of LIFOs) for the Disclaimer, which was long, detailed and heavily debated. COP, including SSHs, DQs, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, LBCs, and Flutter Kicks. Ok, no LIFOs, so a run was in order — 40 minutes – up hills, down hills, and something in between. Pace varied, mumblechatter SUCKED, enthusiasm waned, but…
