Every man busted their tails today; strong work by all! Our FNG’s pushed it today and covered some serious ground– t-claps. As always, it is an honor to lead this group of men. YHC set out to push the limits today and as always, the PAX rose to the occasion.
PS- Australian pull-ups in a fire ant nest is a terrible idea.
