YHC had the honor of leading 9 PAX in a beatdown this morning.  The weather forecast earlier in the week was rain but instead we were met with a crisp, beautiful Spring morning.

YHC led the workout below something like as follows.  As was noted during the workout we did lots of pull-ups to respect that this was Tradition pull-up month and a certain Q did not do any pull-ups the day before.  We needed to make up for that and we did with 50 partner assisted pull-ups/person.  It was noted that the way to be able to do more pullups (get stronger) is to do more pull-ups. YHC alluded to a main event coming up at the end of the workout (read below) and @dingo started to prepare for this, as at one point he threw down his cinder block and before our very eyes it broke into many pieces.  Never seen before!  @Dingo and several PAX cleared away the broken pieces so the beatdown could continue.

then came the MAIN EVENT;  THE TRADITION STRONGEST MAN CINDER BLOCK TOSS CONTEST

Each Pax member threw the cinder block twice (once from a standing start and then from a 3 step running start) as far as they could with the longest throws noted.  @Dingo had the furthest throw both times with @Triple threat and @smokey finishing second on the throws.  YHC noted this was the qualifying round and now @Dingo, @Triple Threat and @Smokey would throw the cinderblock one last time for a winner take all title of the strongest man at Tradition.  Once again the great @dingo outdistanced the competition and proved he is not only the AO but the strongest man at Tradition!  Congratulations @dingo!
