Moleskin:
- Big thanks to Harley and TR for allowing me to take on this time honored tradition.
- It truly was an honor to lead you men today. Although the weather conditions were not ideal you still came out in force and made this one of the most memorable downpainments. I had been looking forward to this for awhile but as it neared I started feeling the pressure to deliver up to the expectations of previous years. From the lack of mumble chatter, the grunts, and the refusnik on the last call for swings it appeared the workout delivered.
- Note to all PAX, avoid hanging out with Radar the night before you Q #mindgames
- Good to have Butter Maker back out for his 3rd workout within a week. Good work out there brother.
- Unfortunately I was too smoked, the voice of “if you can’t do it, don’t Q it” on repeat, to focus on any of the good banter of the PAX. Sound off below on any quality gems that were missed.

– missing TR
– several Larry Birds swinging ornaments
– Brown’s hat looks like a purple _____
– Radar was doing what looked like the chicken dance during the last call for swings
– Watch the form during the end of these smoker KB workouts – one hunched over swing away from catapulting a kidney
– tried this in the hotel gym last week and I forgot how important the snot rockets and foamy lougies were
