“40,” Here I Come!

The Slammer Remixed

With The Slammer being sometimes attendance prohibitive, a makeover was in order to motivate the Shank pax. Also, YHC agrees with Uncle Ron that the original version is too rep-heavy, leading to bad form. This version of The Slammer features new exercises, more pain stations, more lunges, less reps…but the bear crawl had to stay. …

Let’s Roll!

Wander has always been one of YHCs go-to AOs. Sometimes it’s a beast of a WO, and sometimes it’s a great place to recharge the legs, mind, and heart after a long week of beat downs, busy work days, and a stressful life. YHC noticed that the AO was not as jazzed as it had …

4 pax for XL at 0545.  8 pax for regular workout at 0630.  We lost a pax from XL to the regular session because his M had texted him with the command of “You woke them (the 2.0s and the dog) up when you left.  Get home.”  In the interest of marital harmony (i.e., not …
