Winter’s last call

Date: 2025-04-09 AO: anvil Q: lex_luthor PAX: Point Break, Rousey, lex_luthor FNGs: None COUNT: 3 There were some concerns that it was going to be a “no gear” workout when we started. These concerns were put to rest as we made our way to the library and proceeded to pull tires, swing kb’s, and deadlift sandbags. The winter weather was back this morning but that did not deter Point Break and Rousey from coming out and moving around for a full body beatdown. Side note – the boys from Meathead were happy to share coffee with the crew. All around a great morning
