Weather – 74 degrees, 94% humidity, overcast, WTF, summer is back?
Splinter was supposed to be our final Q of the month and was going to serve as the last installment of 3 straight #Reynolds Week(s) boot camps at #Hammer, but a call to the bullpen was made after his Fri football game was rescheduled for Mon night in Cheraw. YHC stepped up to take over in Splinter’s absence. Don’t worry though, Splinter will bring the madness on Thursday! T-claps to the convincing W at Cheraw for River Bluff.
Anyway, 13 faithful PAX, including 1 FNG, 1 repeat visitor from Charlotte, and the legendary Subprime, descended on the unseasonably warm and soggy gloom at #Hammer. After a little warm up in the COP that included some horrific cadence from YHC and some ridiculing from Ice 9 on a few of the exercises, the real work began. The PAX pushed through and killed it in these generally poor conditions.

Thanks to Ice 9 for coming back to #Hammer for a 2nd time in 2 weeks while he was down in Columbia for training. He definitely made his presence felt. Don’t be a stranger if you are back in town again.
Welcome to Tom Bolton (FNG Bear Back). Per Supbrime, Tom managed to block his own punter’s punt with his ass at Dreher while serving as the punter’s protector (called the bear back at Dreher) so the naming routine was short and sweet.
I’ll be sure to work on my squat cadence before my next Q…
