A pre-blast promising 45 minutes of Bernie and the gifts of plagiarism brought out 15 PAX, with some making longer drives to post.

* SSH x 20 IC
* Michael Phelps x 10 IC
* Good Mornings x 5 IC

We then got started on the “Forward and Back” Q from Zook, which you can see here: https://f3churham.com/forward-and-back/

YHC quotes:
“
* Mosey down Great ridge to first intersection
* 2 merkins, lung walk across road
* 4 merkins, lung walk across road
* 6 merkins, lung walk across road
* 8 merkins, lung walk across road
* 10 merkins, lung walk across road
* Mosey down Great ridge to next intersection
* 10 dips, bear crawl across road
* 10 dips, bear crawl across road
* 10 dips, bear crawl across road
* 10 dips, bear crawl across road
“
It was here that the gift of plagiarism was revealed – YHC was cautioned by Zook that ACROSS meant the width, not the LENGTH of the road.

Oops.

YHC quotes:
“
* Mosey past dog park to fence barrier (no idea what to call this) between road and sidewalk
* step up right leg on each post, shuffle to next post doing a squat in between (20 posts)
“

YHC was running out of time thanks to misunderstanding what he was copying, plus having twice as many as the original workout…

YHC Quotes:
“
* Got to get back to AO but we are going in backward format
* On fence thing again
* step up left leg on each post, shuffle to next post doing a squat in between (20 posts)
“

YHC was really near time now, with only 10 minutes left to Bernie back to the AO, to meet the promise of excess Bernie, we skipped everything else in Zook's workout…and since strikeout formatting doesn't work in this form, you'll have to read the original to see what sort of pain Zook put Marky Mark, Bright Idea, Bump Draft, Paper Jam, Stubbs, Splashback and Duplo through on that fateful Wednesday in January 2020.

With 2 minutes to spare, YHC did an abbreviated Mary of…
* American Hammers x 20 IC
* LBCs x 15 IC

COT:
Brotox’s suggestion during last week’s COT to look at Qs of the past jived with a desire I’ve had to pull out workouts from OG’s that I haven’t met or seen recently. So I went looking for a workout and ultimately, I picked this workout from Zook even though he posts everyday for a few reasons. One, because it had a lot of Bernie, which Marky Mark had inspired me to try. Second, because I wanted to honor Zook. Not only since he’s the Site Q, but because when I first started coming regularly, he was one of the guys that made a point to always say hi to me. Working out with a bunch of dudes that have been hanging out for years can be intimidating and it can be difficult to break in, whether we want to hear that or not, but he was always purposefully welcoming. And though he didn’t know it, that’s exactly what I needed at that point in my day and it was just what I needed to keep coming back. Aye!
