Moleskine:

Special thanks to Jason Rhymer of Rhymer Fitnesss who inspired us with routines like this and helped with some of the gear used today. 

Rage Against the Gear was in full effect today.  I am not sure which of the stations was the hardest because just when we thought we’d get a break, we move to the next station and tackle something even harder.  OUTSTANDING EFFORT out there this morning.  The new direction we are taking with this site is a total shock to the body as most of these movements aren’t things we usually do when training.  But that didn’t matter…The men out here today were completely owned it.

T-Claps to Mr. Hankey for doing all this with a 45lbs Ruck on his back #selectionhopeful! I even believe I heard Geraldo or Banannas say that no one from SPEARHEAD should be allowed to come out to Olympus because this guy is on a totally different level (even at SH we look at this guy like he’s Van Damme In Universal Soldier…all he needs to do is sit in a tub of ice for a little bit and he’s all charged up).  He’s like Liquor Cycle on steroids. When he took that sled Waaaaay out of the way while we were doing Burpee Squat Thrusts with KB Press, there was a diabolical look in his eye.

And how about Wolfman with that sled run?  Flashbacks of being a Safety for Pitt hunting down a WR or RB to crush his helmet into.  Nice work Wolf!

YHC has to admit, immediately after the final rep I coughed, started to cramp and dry-heaved a couple times…if there was any fluid left in my body I would have puked for sure…which would have been awesome, lol.

T-Claps all around.  Thank you for posting with us today at Olympus.  Gullah and i really appreciated your willingness to try something different.  Our goal is to bring something new each week.  We are thrilled at the new direction of Olympus and hope to see more Pax each week.

Again, Thank you for the honor of leading such a strong group of men and for making my Century Q a memorable one.

Respectfully,

The Hoff
