14 faithful men pried their fartsacks off their backs not knowing they were coming to a picnic. Normally, picnics involve good food, relaxation, and laughing with friends, but today it involved doing strange things with concrete blocks and picnic tables. Pretty sure there was some grunting with friends though.
Conditions: 72 degrees, pleasant, and a bit humid.

T-claps to everyone today! Tough but fun workout, and my first one without a “Weinke”. That being said, there is a decent chance I forgot something. If so, please forgive me. Also, I want to wish Happy Birthday to Queenie and thank him for coming to Speedtrap to hang out with us.
