Beginning of the End

Date: 2025-05-24 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: MARTA, voodoo, The Worm, flipper, Wabbit, Emoji FNGs: None COUNT: 7 Express version of the backblast today. Solid way to wrap-up The Grind with a punishing pair of AMQRAPs. Voodoo pushed YHC to go up in weight on a few reps (YHC’s shoulders will likely not be pleased with this choice tomorrow morning). The Worm continues to inspire us by posting strong. Flipper won the prize for guessing non-Led Zeppelin bands. Wabbit’s and MARTA’s mumblechatter kept us moving. And Emoji kept us all on task with a boy band at the end (hat tip Hoover).
