The last exercise was/is a favorite of Hoedown, an F3 guy I used to work out with frequently back in Charlotte. Very strange but at Starbucks after the workout, he texted me. Completely out of the blue. After trading the usual insults, I told him I used the Brazilian Mindbender today; and I didn’t give him credit. So if you ever run into Hoedown, don’t spoil it by telling him I gave him credit. He’ll understand.

Eleven of the faithful posted at Grid Iron on a chilly February morning, YHC having filled the minds and hearts of the faithful with promises of an FNG. The FNG was a no-show, but we had work to do. The Q started off by calling merkins but doing side straddle hops just to see who would brought the right level of obeisance to the workout. We then moved on to the actual merkins, followed by hillbillies, LBCs, and some other things. The PAX was led to grassy knoll behind the schoolhouse, and YHC kicked off “ten minutes of whatever” with…
