No Bricks, No Blocks and No Jump Ropes at #TheCastle

Five (5) PAX started their week off right by beating the Fartsack. Since this was a switcheroo Q, YHC blames the low numbers on the anticipated Special K run the loop and the terrible Special K Crunch. Don’t fret, Special K will be on the Q Wednesday, so the PAX can toughen up and enjoy the unpleasantries then. YHC wanted this workout to be different – no bricks and no blocks. Both the bricks and blocks have been getting significant work lately, so a rest was needed. What surprised the PAX though – there were no jump ropes. Armed with rifles (thanks Grilz) and extra weekend/vacation body weight, work was done.
