“BRAINIAC”

1. With a partner, one does 62 wall balls (20/14#) while the other hangs from the pullup bar. If partner drops from the pullup bar, person doing wall balls must stop until the other is back up on the bar. Each bar drop results in 5 burpees for both partners. Then the exercise rolls are switched and repeated by the other.

(In 1962, Two members of the Flying Wallendas high-wire act were killed when their seven-person pyramid collapsed during a performance in Detroit.)

2. One partner must answer 50 math addition questions as the other holds a handstand against a wall. If partner must come down from the handstand hold, the answering of the math questions must be  paused. Each fall from the hold results in 5 burpees for both partners. In addition, each math question that is answered incorrectly results in the addition of 10 seconds to the team’s final time.

3. One partner executes 79 ball slams while the other does the pullup bar hang again. Same rules apply. Each drop equals 5 burpees for both members.

(1979 The civilian government of Iran announced it had decided to allow Ayatollah Khomeini to return from exile in France.)

4. One member must write down the 50 United States while the other holds a handstand. Same rules apply and 10 seconds added to the final time for each state that is incorrect or missing.

5. One partner does 72 Medicine ball thrusters as the other hangs from the pullup bar.

(1972 Thirteen Roman Catholic civil rights marchers were shot to death by British soldiers in Northern Ireland on what became known as “Bloody Sunday.”)
