Thanks for the opportunity to lead this morning, gentlemen. It was an honor!
Great work this morning everyone!
Iron Fist is my favorite workout. I was looking to provide a total body beatdown with some muscle confusion. Hopefully I accomplished the mission.
Thanks for bringing us home at the end, Sensei.

Buckwheat – good cinder workout this morn.and congrats of the VQ, great job. Look forward to many more circles of pain with you at the Q.
Somebody keep Buckwheat off YouTube! Just kidding. Great workout! I was actually going to do the cruise today but got there late, saw you guys, and decided to join. CB clean and presses are even worse without gloves. I strongly advise against it.
LOL on You Tube. There’s some crazy stuff on there! Sorry about the clean and presses tearing up your hands. I always wear gloves and it didn’t occur to me that this much cinder block work would tear up ones hands. Mental note made for the future!
Keep ’em coming brother! I usually wear gloves but planned on cruising this am. I’m pretty sure iron fists don’t have soft palms!
