Closed with some light stretching.

– 13 8-count body builders
– 13 WWIs

The Thang – Part 2
Run to the benches.
– 13 dips
– 13 incline merkins
– 13 elevated Alabama prom dates
– Run to Benson Ave and back.
– Repeat for good measure.
Finisher
Cadence 8-count body builders, mosey back to StartEx, cadence Mary, and—you guessed it—more 8-count body builders.

Grateful for another lap around the sun and for the men who showed up to start the day right.

MISCELLANY:
– Kudos to hambone who finished the exercises first — his reward? Extra Tuck jumps.

– Kudos to CubCadet who tackled Night Moves last evening and then climbed out of bed to hit Nashville’s most respected AO.
– Welcome to Grifter (Travers), who lives in the Nations and was looking for a workout group to help with accountability and provide a social outlet. He’s traveled the world from Bali to Sri Lanka to India (by motorcycle) and clearly has some interesting and enlightening tales to tell. He also is into cryptocurrency, runs a short-term rental business, and has a 2.1 due soon. Hope to see him back again soon.

Honor leading the PAX who continue to make me stronger and better. SYITG, Vector
