1. Thanks for posting this morning. Like most workouts, never would have pushed myself that hard without you all there.
2. The KB exercises were bad enough, but adding in the 260 Mericans was rough, at least for YHC.
3. The “psshhh” from Clueless after calling out the Single-Arm-Shoulder-Press-to-Muscle-Failure is as about as close to a BS call as you’ll get from him. I’ll take it. Ok, so he may have just been laughing about the commercial where some meathead comes into a gym, gets all set up, does one rep and yells “Done!” But still, I’ll take it.
4. When Tumbler is looking for a 30#, you know he’s been pushing himself hard up to that point with his 45#.
5. Great pairing up with Finnegan. Had the “Sanford and Son” theme song going through my head the whole time. #gottashowtoknow
6. Strong work by Helga. Not sure if it’s the time off in Germany or the haircut, but he’s been refreshed and getting after it this week.
Pax Tibi,
Gamma
Strong work by all.
Strong work and fun laughs this morning fellas! Enjoyed it!
Here’s the prevnar ‘one step’ commercial of the dude doing “one” merkin.

Strong work men! Arms are feeling it today!
Great workout today @Gamma! Agreed on #1 being inspired to work out as harder. Trying to get back in shape after my stint in Germany so #itMustBeTheHaircut!
