MARY: Plank ANNOUNCEMENTS: COT: Eight Meatheads were treated to Week 3 Day 2 of the Joe Daniels KB program, aka the latest rainbow spreadsheet. Nothing fancy about this workout, but the race against the clock to complete all the sets provided a good mix of cardio and strength building. And speaking of good mixes, how do you beat a playlist that includes the likes of Crash Test Dummies, Airborne Toxic Event, Rusted Root and The Darkness? Perhaps we’ll find out next week when Ickey plays DJ.
