A strong mix of regions at Downtown, with 9 men putting in strong work. Burpees were done for trains that weren’t there, and the distance from the parking lot to the flag got a whole lot longer. No frogs were squished in the execution of this bootcamp.
The Thang:
At this time, Purple Haze and Wirenut joined us, so we blessed them with

Pledge and Mosey to South & Second for
Since the Sizzle Suicide is such a hit at The Goat, YHC brought it to a new crowd at a different AO. We ran suicides up South with between Second and Franklin with telephone poles as the mark, stopping for LBC’s along the way as follows:
- Run 1 pole – 10 LBCs
- Run back – 10 LBCs
- Run 2 poles – 20 LBCs
- Run back – 20 LBCs
- Run 3 poles – 30 LBCs
- Run Back – 30 LBCs
- Run 4 poles – 40 LBCs
During the last run, a truck turned down South and our game of Frogger got a little dicey, but a countoff afterwards confirmed that we were all accounted for.
We moseyed from Franklin back to the parking lot side of the Gaston County Administration Building, where a train inspired another round of
And then we started a workout that probably already has a name, but YHC doesn’t know it, so we called it the Cyclone Stacker. It went something like this:
- 5 Burpees
- Run a lap around the building
- 10 Squats, 5 Burpees
- Run a lap around the building
- 15 Crunchy Frogs, 10 Squats, 5 Burpees
- Run a lap
- 20 Pseudo Planche Merkins, 15 Crunchy Frogs, 10 Squats, 5 Burpees
- Run a lap

HIPAA told me about the Pseudo Planche Merkins while I was prepping for a different Q a while back and I thought this was a good spot to bring them out. The PAX disagreed, and there was a good amount of modifying. They’re really not as bad as you’d think. They’ll probably make a return to the Weinke in the near future.
Inside of 10 minutes to go, and looking for for some lunge work without a lot of instructions, YHC omahaed to a simple instruction
- Lunge Walk back to the flags
On a Downtown post years ago, Whoopee had us lunging all over that parking lot, so I knew it’d been done before, and then some. In the end, it seemed like the right amount – exhausting with the need to shake the legs out a couple times, but not impossible.
We were back at the flag with a couple minutes to spare, so it was time for some Mary that went down like this:
- 20 x Mountain Climbers (IC – Wirenut)
- 20 x Flutter Kicks with Arms Back (IC – EZ Rider)
- 20 x American Hammers (IC – Purple Haze)
- 10 x Crab Crunches (IC – Linus)
- 20 x SSH (IC – Folgers)
Folgers wrapped up the SSH and the clock ticked 6:15.
