As YHC described tomorrow's WO to a coworker, the sad clown asked the question: "You will still workout even if it snows?" Of course the easy and proper response is "Yea come on out!" But, for some reason I replied with "Of course we will, this ain't the Garden! Be there at 5am." No Coupons.Continue reading "4.21.21 PB – The Escalator @ The Abyss"

It’s hard to argue. The weather and timing of sunrise at this time of year is some of the best for getting out to the gloom. Which is exactly what HIMs did at the County this past Saturday.

Got a minute? Leading up to this, I really needed to run. No better spot than North Posh for a run heavy weinke.

For a minute,Continue reading "4.19.21 – Backblast w/ Jewel"

Holy Roller decided to give up his site Q duties on the day I was Qing. Which either meant he wanted to go out with a bang or he thought it was going to be a complete shit show and he wanted to quit before he was fired. You can decide that for yourself.

11 fine HIMs came out in the misty morning for a nice, little heavy beatdown. I love the HEAVY as it is great change-up into a more strengthening sort of session with a touch of cardio.
