Ultimately 6 men crawled out of their fartsacks in and around the Mint Hill area to stand around under the ShovelFlag and listen to YHC dish out ridiculous prescriptions for metal, sweat, and pain.

WARMUP

YHC hasn’t served up a canned warmup in a while so this one tasted a little rusty

• SSH x 20 IC
• Merkins x 10 IC
• IW x 20 IC
• Merkins x 10 IC

Done with that we moved over to pick up our bells, partner up, and carry on. Time to Grow.

THE MAIN THANG

• Partner 1 does called exercise
• Partner 2 carries the bells across the parking lot in the called fashion
• Flapjack partners till the team-up has completed the required repetitions
• Larry Bird Teams Swing their bells till all teams complete the round
• Round 1 – 300 Air Squats / Double Bell Farmer Carry with a 5 merkin grip check penalty
• Round 2 – 200 Belled Crunches / Single Bell Waiter’s Carry (RS then LS)
• Round 3 – 100 Hand Release Merkins / Double Bell Rack & Carry

DESSERT COURSE

• Partner Pair Up for 3 rounds of 10 double bell lying chest press

BELL MARY

• American Hammer x 20 IC
• Luganis x 20 IC

COT

NOTES

• It was AWESOME having 2 new guys on site this morning; Site FNG MoTown from East Charlotte, and FNG Wedding Singer! Both the new guys took their metal filled pills of pain this morning and were able to keep it down!
• YHC audibled this whole complex this morning when he saw the even numbers and couldn’t pass up the chance for some partner work. Partner work = Double Bell Pleasure ????
• The pax should be ignorantly glad for the audible. What you don’t yet know can’t hurt you, yet.
• The awesomeness that is Hand Release Merkins paired up with Rack & Carry is beyond YHC ability to describe in words. Just. Think. Pain. Lots of pain. Like Wat to Chaucer in Knight’s Tale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6e5E20k9jY
• Everyone seemed to scratch their heads while naming the new guy. Who can pass up a chance reference to such awesome Hollywood pair ups such as Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler!
• TCLAPS to MoTown! He brought more respect into the Mint Hill Gloom and showed just how strong the men from East Charlotte can be.
• For the rest of the Mint Hill pax who’ve been to metal but weren’t there this morning, you gotta post to grow.
