Moleskin:

Great work today men. This workout was thrown together at the last hour due to Hoff injuring his back and not being able to Q so YHC and Pele jumped in. Pele then had to endure sick kids all of Friday night so he was unable to make it, although he did send YHC his plan so I was thankful for not having to come up with 30 minutes on the fly. Thanks to Goon for stepping in for the last 10 minutes to break things up a little. Cindy is always great to do, but I think the guys had had enough of merkins and merkin related movements.  Everyone really pushed it out there, and word is Low Tide woke up Sunday with soreness in multiple areas so YHC must have done something right if I can get a young man to feel it. Us old guys do no matter what.  Pleasure to lead you men.

Hope Hoff’s back feels better

Hope Pele’s kids are well soon

Thanks to High Tide for the prayer to take us out.
