Under normal definition of the word, one might think this would be a small number, like 30? But as you all know, YHC like to go big, and that includes temporary assignment too! So after ~360 days, @Bootsie has officially taken over as the Flatline Site Q! The Torch (Pilsner) was passed. The Website was updated. And calendar permissions were granted!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/VG_Flatline_Bootsie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"932\" height=\"932\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/VG_Flatline_Bootsie.jpg 932w, https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/VG_Flatline_Bootsie-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/VG_Flatline_Bootsie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/VG_Flatline_Bootsie-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 932px) 100vw, 932px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So a simple plan was concocted&#8230; explore the AOs many amazing spots, and do 360 reps of 3 exercises! How do we do that? Simple! Every 2.5 minutes, or 18 times, stop and knock out 3 x 20 reps. 3 x 20 x 18 = 1080! Dang, math is awesome, we just figured out a fun way to knock out 1000+ reps with ease!
