YHC was originally supposed to Q #Purgatory back on January 25 to celebrate his 52nd trip around the sun.\u00a0 However, #Caviar’s basketball team ended up playing over in Asheville that day so YHC had to be replaced by @Burlap for that Q.\u00a0 @GreenAcres needed a sub for today, so #YHC felt that it was his duty to step up and give back.\u00a0 Unfortunately, #AmericanAirlines decided to make that a bit more challenging by trying their best to not do their jobs by not getting me home last night in a timely manner from #ATX.\u00a0 On the bright side, the delay in #CLT enabled me to spend time with @Butter and @Butter’sHair who were both also stuck in #CLT on the way home.\u00a0 (Side note:\u00a0 1 of the 3 of us still posted this morning…)\u00a0 Anyhow, once we got in the airplane (@Butter was in first class, YHC was relegated to the bulkhead row of coach where he had an unfortunate run in with safety monitor power tripping Bobby Brady of a flight attendant), YHC was able to collect all of the requests that had come in via the twitter to build a rather eclectic playlist and workout based upon the various “requests” that came in as replies to the preblast tweets announcing the aforementioned substi-Q at #Purgatory this fine 28 degree morning.<\/p>\n
First to reply was @F3Metro\/@F3Gastonia’s @Tesla who gave us permission to wear gloves this morning.\u00a0 So, per his request, during Warm-O-Rama<\/strong>:<\/p>\n SSH x20 IC<\/p>\n IW x15 IC<\/p>\n Windmill, Godfather Abe Vigoda Style x10 IC<\/p>\n Whirly Has The Clap x10 IC<\/p>\n Copperhead Squats x20 IC<\/p>\n Copperhead Merkins x10 IC (long distance dedication from @Plunger via text last night), hold it<\/p>\n Peter Parker x10 IC, hold it<\/p>\n Parker Peter x10 IC<\/p>\n Austin Batwings:<\/p>\n Mosey across parking lot to the field\/track.<\/p>\n The Thang, Part 1:\u00a0 Catch Me If You Can<\/strong><\/p>\n Partner Up.\u00a0 Size and Fitness Goals do not matter.\u00a0 Partner 1 stays and performs 10 Hand Release Merkins while Partner 2 lunge walks around the track.\u00a0 After the HR merkins, Partner 1 runs to catch Partner 2 and switches places.\u00a0 Partner 2 then performs 10 Hand Release Merkins while Partner 1 lunge walks around the track.\u00a0 After the HR merkins, Partner 2 runs to catch Partner 1 and so forth and so on.\u00a0 At the tennis court turn, switch directions and replace Hand Release Merkins with Sumo Squat [Jumps] and replace lunge walk with bear crawl (#crowdpleaser).<\/p>\n The Thang, Part 2:\u00a0 Turkish Folsom Prison Blues<\/strong><\/p>\n @DramaQueen requested a replay of the infamous #Purgatory Johnny Cash workout, so:<\/p>\n 1 Turkish Get Up OYO;
