“That Custom Grind was the s#it”

Date: 2025-05-19 AO: swole Q: high_tide PAX: flipper, voodoo, Emoji, taggart, wildturkey, Unplugged FNGs: None COUNT: 7 Kicking off the final week of The Grind, YHC recognized the Pax had earned something special for our final Swole installment, This Custom Grind, if you will, was welcomed with much wonder and mumblechatter, at least until the hypoxia set in. The consensus is reflected in the workout title. (Or was it, “this custom grind is s#it.”) Read on, and judge for yourself.
