With the convergence of Ascent and Olympus this Winter, the fusion of Gear and PT is now becoming reminiscent of the old days at Day Zero…an hour of pure exhaustion at it’s best. 12 men came out for The Grind...it’s name accurately describes how our bodies felt during and after this routine. Iron definitely sharpening Iron, or….maybe it was just Iron sharpening asphalt (hairburners), lol…

Moleskine,
YHC was IMPRESSED with the efforts today. You guys showed up, were told it would be a shorter routine, but even as time was going longer than planned…no one complained (accept no cheap Wine Wolfman, haha) and everyone kept going strong! My apologies as I didn’t run through this routine prior to today and those 45lbs plates were really tough to move. Sony was amazing (he was my partner) and with each round, he’d hit the ground completely exhausted…..BUT despite giving it his all, he would muster up the will power to get up and keep working #dothehardthing! Much props to him.
I’d also like to compliment everyone else as well who all did the same thing round after round. It was easy for me to notice Sony’s efforts because he was working with me, however each time I’d pick my head up, others were also digging deep and killing it out there.
Hope no one made any plans to be active today, hehe. If you noticed something out there today that you’d like to comment about or give someone you worked out with props, please use the comment box below
As always, it was an honor to lead the team today.
Respectfully,
The Hoff
