Just look at the choices. \u00a0Mayhem, with its supreme location, stalwart group of regulars, and familial attitude towards visitors, is universally known at the Premier Wednesday Workout. \u00a0The diamond in the rough though is Bells n Whistles. Tucked just on the outskirts of Winston in the unincorporated community of Pfafftown, this gem of a workout is a definite fan favorite of the locals and provides the PAX with an excellent opportunity to truly challenge themselves. \u00a0Hell, I\u2019ve even heard that shim sham, rinky dink operation that the remains of Glazer is running over there at Hanes Park occasionally gets a few PAX to attend. Anyway, the point of my rant is that due to my corporate duties at Mayhem and its near proximity to the homestead, I don\u2019t get to visit BnW as often as I would like. \u00a0That is certainly my loss. It\u2019s a fantastic workout and one that should be frequented by all of the PAX. And by venturing out, you get to reconnect with some of your buddies that you don\u2019t normally get to see. The experts agree that this morning\u2019s edition was definitely somewhere in the top 3 F3 W-S bootcamp workouts of the day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah, yeah, yeah. \u00a0It\u2019s 5:30 am.

Of course Tuco and Hoptoberfest were not about to pull their punches either. \u00a0I even recognized a few zingers from the supposed \u201cnicer\u201d guys: Land Shark, DQ, Boomerang, and was that you Light Brigade? \u00a0What did I ever do to you guys? Geez, I even think Tide Pod joined in early!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How does BAM complain so much about being tired and wiped out, yet his mouth never stops moving? \u00a0Do the jaw muscles run on a separate generator?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you absolutely loved the playlist and creativity this morning, then Thank You. \u00a0The epiphany randomly popped into my head months ago. If you hated it, blame the Nantan (\u201call hail the Nantan\u201d). \u00a0It was Bluto\u2019s idea that he concocted at Urban Assault recently.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Q was exhausted and drained this morning pre-workout. \u00a0A very late bedtime due to some forced 4th and 5th F.
