When YHC Q’d Heavy Metal a few weeks back, I had to improvise a rather unusual workout for HM due to the unexpected lack of access to all our weights. With all our gear available this morning (save for Mama Junk being sequestered by some strange contraption), YHC promised and 11 PAX delivered on a…
The “metal” is a key piece of the great, unique F3 workout that is Heavy Metal. Fortunately, the only thing more important are the PAX, and those were in good supply with 13 strong men as we found ourselves unexpectedly without access to any weights and made our way through an audibled workout. We’re appreciative…
9 Pax stepped into the gloom for some heavy metal this morning. No rest in between the work and a burst of grumbling from Wendell Gee right out of the gate. Way to set the tone. warm up – SSH x 25, Fazio Arm Circles – 15 each way, World’s Greatest Stretch (ask Box Jump).…
Chris Chelios was one of the longest serving players in the NHL playing in 26 seasons and retiring at the young age of 48. He was known to be freakishly fit. A few years ago, someone gave me one of his circuit weight training routines to try called Hour of Power. I did 20 minutes and almost…
13 PAX came out for a solid no frills morning. No FNGs. Limited cadence counts. Other than the first two stations, all exercises were kept in a small, tight circle.

It was a great mix of Pax: some Heavy Metal originals, some recent additions, new faces (Tongue & Groove), as well as Kotters (Flatline). One of the first rules in sales is to know your…
I know it’s well past the several day requested time to deliver a BB, but better late than never (Captain Kangaroo, I’ll get to that KK Challenge one from Feb eventually). Think I owe 5-6 from the last 2 weeks so here goes #1: Warm-up: SSH x 20; good mornings x 10; std merkins x…
The Heavy Metal haters weren’t there. Most never have been. Many have never stepped foot in Roanoke Park. But they love to talk about us. And they’re here to read about our workout. Glad we have your attention. Come join us sometime! WARM-UP: Jog > SSH x 25 > Imperial Walkers x 25 > Good…
