Samson Arms

The pax were intrigued about the #pb’s promise of arms day (Phoenix opined that this was a good way to kidnap a lot of men – beware when he’s ready to Q and posts about an arms day), but The Force was also skeptical about whether the #pb was a lie, considering my penchant for sprints.  However, I kept my promise and only moseyed a limited amount with absolutely no sprinting.

I was at a work event in the Charlotte FC Gallery Suites last night where the beer flows like wine and the food was unending (and free).  I also ran into Crocs, Walkie-Talkie, and another Pax (I’m sorry, I forget his name, but I met him at the Polar Bear for his first post).  Despite the sushi, wings, cookies, dessert bar, and drinks, I somehow made it out of bed to Q.

I don’t recall what Bob Ross picked because my arms were still burning

The Force picked Penguins (touch them heels)

Phoenix picked 6-inch leg-lift holds

And I picked LBCs

Moleskin:

You see… YHC can Q without sprints!  It’s great seeing Phoenix posting at more workouts and becoming a regular from Croc’s Cedarfield Clan.  Bob Ross is always pushing hard and in good spirits which keeps this Q motivated.  The Force was also there with his usual and much appreciated humor and inappropriate comments, but with much support, also keeping this Q motivated.

We were all made better by getting up this morning and I certainly felt better after putting in the work.  Now on to prepare my arms for the inevitable soreness that I will awake with tomorrow for the jiu jitsu AO.

Until next time…
