SSHX20
Copperhead Squat (like a real squat, but done correctly) X20

Gather the PAX and head to the rock pile (Does this even have a nickname yet? It should)
Carefully select & grab your rock
CurlsX20
SquatsX20
Rinse & repeat

Great crowd out today with a lot of repeat customers (who did not want their money returned). 2 FNG’s, PointBreak (from Florida) and Coco-Nut (also from Florida). Both hung with us well, welcome guys. Speaking of which, the entire PAX pushed hard Saturday and as a result YHC was extremely sore Sunday. Heck, sore even this Monday. Does anyone else think Token and Burbank are twins? YHC got them slightly mixed up. They must go to the same barber. #brotherfromanothermother . Always amazed at Kroptonite‘s X2Respect, keep it up. How did Monkeyfeet get his name? I can only surmise it’s the monkeyfeet shoes some runner’s wear, but YHC has never seen him wear them. Got to talk to Sparkleberry during our grinders, found out he’s a UNCC student and studying Accounting/Finance…#dryastoast but #successful.
Thanks so much to Carrier and Beaver for the take out. Thanks to [Exxon] Valdez and Beaver for the opportunity to lead and learn.
PS…did YHC get everyone listed? Sound off in the comments if YHC missed someone, sorry didn’t have my phone.
