Introduction

“Yeah we need to do …”
“You’re right we really should do more of …”

This is a common thread I here from PAX, so come out to DT tomorrow to do something about it

Not too much Moseying, but we’ll do some traditional BC work, then we’re working on lifting with form and control, followed by Mary and flexibility.  You will work muscles to failure, you will be tired, you will be stronger, and you will be better.

Drop your HC in the :thread: and when you do, vote for Metallica or 80s-2000s Rap

Circle of Trust

Often we discuss pushing ourselves everyday, and while obviously has value for HIMs like us, we also need to know when to take a step back and re-assess what we’re doing.  “Challenging” and “Hard” are not the same as “Miserable”.  If it’s always “Miserable”, then give yourself a break and figure out what needs to be fixed.

Prayers for HotBox, Bob Ross, Brooks’s friend Brian, and Dabo’s son; finished with a moment of silence to honor them and all prayers unspoken.

Naked Man Moleskin

I’m glad the beatdown paced well, and I appreciate all of you for coming out on a rainy day.  I had more to get to, but we’ll save that for next time.
