Outstanding Site-Qs Lightweight and Right-Swipe reached out to YHC to get back in the fold at Kenan, where YHC had served as the Site Q prior to these two outstanding HIMs taking over.
Working with Carolina Athletics and working out in Kenan Stadium on 1.23.23, we had to have a Jordan theme – or as Shooter suggested, should we have paid homage to the original 23 – 2 time ACC Football Player of the Year, 1971 ACC Athlete of the Year award, broke many records, including besting OJ Simpson's all time rushing mark and College Football Hall of Famer – Don McCauley. There was a reason Don McCauley was given jersey 23 when he enrolled at North Carolina. It was next to Charlie Justice's famous number 22. The number 23 would be a motif in today's workout.

Short warmup, to have time to compete the ambitous plan to do 23 reps, of 23 exercises, including a run between 23 yard marks on each side. (YHC was originally planning on doing full field runs, but audibled to the 23 yard lines – which is a nice tribute to Michael Jordan, Don McCauley, and right next to the Carolina Blue hashmark at the 22 yard line (a tribute to Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice.
