25 men of questionable judgement posted at the most hilarious Friday workout around. Some exercised, some rolled over and died.
THE PF CHANG
Mosey (entering the exit mind you, to avoid the #secretstuff hiding on the other side) to the track, continuing for the better part of a lap
COP
Slap yo Grandma
Line up on 50 yd line, Bear Crawl race to end zone. Requested 10 yd head start from DK and Lobster Roll to see if anyone could take them. Complete chaos – everyone left at random times. Saw guys walking, running, skipping, prancercising, and one guy riding a camel.

Mosey back to the side parking lot. Some confusion, i.e. “why are we leaving the fancy private school field that I pay for and/or attempt to relive my failed high school athletic dreams on”, but we eventually made it.
20 mins of Hairburners, 3-man grinder teams, rotating exercises while you “rest”.
Final set was “inchworm style”. Extremely popular.

DONE
THE FRIED PORKSKIN
Wanted to bring out some Fun Friday as some of us continue to mourn for the hilarious days of Kevlar past – hope you boys had a good time out there.
As I continue to go through the list of body parts that I have injured, maimed, or tweaked as I rocket my fitness to stratospheric levels – this week is left foot week. Slightly hobbled, the hairburners were mostly an effective crutch so that I could bring a difficult workout without having to run the track a lot. From the carnage I saw, looks like it delivered.
It was noted post-workout while scarfing down fried chicken at 6:30AM the reaction of our wives as we make loud painful grunting, moaning, and popping sounds while moving from chair to floor after these workouts. They truly do not understand the way of the #eliteatheletes that we are all becoming.
As for the title, it is in tribute to Richard Pryor who once (famously) set himself on fire after freebasing cocaine and drinking 151-proof rum. Although there were no confirmed self-conflagrations, we were getting some pretty distinct burning smells from the parking lot towards the end. I think I also saw Header snorting some unsugared orange Kool Aid mix with a Capri Sun chaser (ripped the top right off, no straw). Things were getting little dangerous out there.
Some of the newer guys had not done the plates before. Saw BOGO, Bounce, and Beaufort T. have a fantastic time out there.
Cobains to Icicle for having to endure a very similar workout on Monday in Mint Hill. Hey, I did it too.
