8 Braves souls converged on North Meck Park in the chilly Tuesday morning gloom. YHC arrived at 5am to get a "lay of the land" and visually plan the beatdown which was not completely successful as you're read later.
YHC was super excited to see Jimmy Olsen pull up around 5:21 and announce he brought along his Shield Lock, RamRod and Stray. (Wasn't sure if Hippie was part of that??) YHC super excited and humbled to finally be at the same AO with these fine men.
The workout went VERY LOOSELY as follows as Q's memory has never been good at remembering exact beatdown unless it's written down. Those who were there can make corrections as needed LOL!

YHC attempted what he though was the V-Neck but we improvised as needed
4 PAX stayed with their rocks and performed series of LBC's, Merkins, or Squats
The other 4 PAX performed the I-NECK with pairs of lunges and squats, starting with 8, then 16, then 24, and alternating upon their return with the 4 non-traveling PAX
Mosey returning to church parking lot around 6:11 and ending in MARY, including LBC's, J-LO, Pretzel Crunches (thanks Waffle House), Low Flutter
YHC continued to confuse the PAX with "5 More Reps" in the middle of cadence and was happy to draw a few laughs from the PAX by continually ending in random rep counts like 19, 7, 13, etc
