The site Q for Downtown asked YHC if he’d step up and take the Q on 5/3. He’s been working the late shift at work and has realized that the testosterone levels fall off dramatically at age 45. YHC takes the Q and makes a mental Weinke that morning. As YHC arrives, the guys are rolling in. Sister Act looks like a broken old man with broken knees after he attempted to cover Wikileaks during frisbee football last night. Looks like YHC will attempt to put the final nail in his coffin today! We circle up and the the show started at 0530.
Warmup: 1 Seal Jack IC, then LET’S GO, MFR’S!
Thang:
Expedited mosey across 321 north, down the hill across 321 south, then stop at the first light pole on the corner. Once the 6 is in, we perform 5 H/R Merkins and 10 Mountain Climbers at each pole (there’s a LOT of them) until we get to Leather and Lace. YHC asked the PAX if they brought any singles, to which Wirenut replied “We’re in Gaston county. All you need is a roll of quarters!” We run up to the wall at L&L double-fisting our rolls of quarters. We performed 2 rounds of Dirty Hookups (of course) and Monkey Humpers. Figuring we got our money’s worth, we ran the rest of the way to FUSE ballpark. A train goes by, so 5 Burpees. We cross the road to set up for escalator 4 corners.
- Corner 1 – 10 Mike Tysons
- Corner 2 – 10 Mike Tysons, 20 Squats
- Corner 3 – 10 Mike Tysons, 20 Squats, 30 CDD’s
- Corner 4 – 10 Mike Tysons, 20 Squats, 30 CDD’s, 40 SSH (Single Count)
If Wirenut ever gets renamed, it has to be Pole Dancer. The mix of pre-workout and the stop at L&L got his “creative juices” flowing, or he’s practicing for his side hustle. You see, there are these baseball bat decorations that stand up on their end out in front of the ballpark. They stand roughly 4 1/2 to 5 feet tall. To our horror, Wirenut is doing his best pole dancing routine on one of the bats. YHC supposes it wasn’t that bad, since he got a couple of horn honks and cat calls from folks driving down Franklin. It seems as if power poles aren’t the only poles he climbs! He tries to throw shade YHC’s way, but no one was buying it (except for SA, and he doesn’t count). After a 10 count to get the image of Wirenut pole dancing out of heads, we de-escalated the 4 corners. We stopped for the pledge at the backside of the ball field, and headed back to base.
Once back to the pavillion, we spend the last 5 minutes performing the BEARMUDA TRIANGLE. Start with 1 burpee, bear crawl to the next corner, 2 burpees, etc. We made it to 7 burpees when time was up.

We had a lot of fun today. Everyone pushed hard even though YHC was keeping us moving the whole time. Bring some singles next Friday. Wirenut might pick up where he left off! Great work, men!
