Where were all of our younger pax members this morning? I know a couple are laid up with injuries. I don’t recall the last time I was the war baby…
Nice work this morning men. We made it through all 5 rounds with a few extra reps on the last set. Thanks for the suggestion, Hammer!
This workout was a Phantom special at Highlands a while ago. It looked tough, so I decided to replicate it with just a few minor modifications. I’m definitely feeling it right now and hope you are too!
Thanks for bringing us home at the end, Guinness.
Not much time for mumble chatter this morning (except for Hammer at the end). Way to work through all five sets and throw in those extra reps at the end!
Nice job Buckwheat doubling down as both War baby and Q! I liked the senior citizen’s aspect… instead of getting 10% off the bill you added 10% more reps to our final set. That’s the kind of senior citizen’s premium I like. 🙂 Much appreciated in pushing us.
