Introduction

🔥🛠🔥 PREBLAST – La Luz – 4/12/22 5:15 🔥🛠🔥

@channel Join YHC at La Luz for a Tuesday Pax-Pick-It Eggs-travaganza.  Drop your HC below.  Come get stronger, get faster, get better…Come Get Some!  Bring your Coupons and be ready to work.

Being it was Easter week, I decided to reach into my Easter basket and pull out a similar Q I did in years past at The Citadel.  My workout was pretty much set, as the PAX would be drawing an egg to determine the exercise and the number of reps.  I just needed to make sure I had everything loaded in the car.  I was excited to head back for my Sophomore Q at La Luz and see some guys I typically don’t see.

The morning of the workout, I got up and headed out, but after a mile into my route, I realized I forgot my hat and gloves, so I went back to the house, grabbed them and headed back toward La Luz.  I pulled in and there were a few PAX already there getting in their EC.  I got the cones set up, the speaker and Pax-Pick-It board out and we were ready to go.

It was a lively crowd (La Luz boys always bring the energy).  I circled the men up and off we went.

Closing Remarks and Prayer:

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear, action breeds confidence and courage.”

“We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.”  

Keep moving, keep learning, keep trying different things, keep growing.  Take a chance on yourself.  Don’t be afraid of failure.  This is how you grow and stretch yourself.

Do something out of your comfort zone this week.  Stretch yourself.  Stay young!

La Luz is a fun AO.  The energy and mumbblechatter is second to none.  I need to get back there more often.

Everyone crushed the workout today and there was no shortage of motivation offered up, by Start Up and others, to help push our FNG, Garth Brooks, over the finish line.  For this beatdown, Damage Goods and Road Trip were the top dogs setting the pace.  I propose we change Road Trip’s name to the Energizer Bunny as this guy does not quit.

I would like to thank Wedding Planner for picking Merkins on his Wild Card draw and for Clearcoat for picking the 30 OH press egg.  After multiple rounds of those, I was feeling it (and continue to feel it a day later as I write this).   Hopefully everyone got a little stronger with this one.

I appreciate everyone coming out and pushing hard to help each one of us push harder and get better.

Until next time.  Keep pushing and make it happen!
