Four men demonstrating a classic clinical case of elephantitis of the biceps made it out on a 34 degree April morning to expand both their physical and mental fitness for One To Grow On. It got prehensile.

One to Grow On was an educational public service announcement (PSA) that broadcast during NBC's Saturday morning line-up from 1983 to 1989, when the network ran cartoons. The name is taken from the custom of putting an extra candle on a birthday cake as "one to grow on". One to Grow On focused on ethical and personal safety dilemmas and attempts to teach viewers how to solve them.

Two cops were in the back of the parking lot when we rolled up. Be cool man. Any concerns they may have had with our early morning presence on school grounds were allayed once they saw us skipping. No need to call in any backup
-
There were some views shown during the exercise demonstrations that cannot be unseen
-
Pax curious on how pre blast is incorporated into today’s workout. Q prehensile challenge was to see if anyone could pick up a glove on the ground with their unit. Alas, more practice (and much better form) is needed before this can be properly executed

There is definitely a podium opportunity for those entering in the “Masters Clydesdale” division in an upcoming triathlon

Another fun sport at triathlons is determining who the “undeclared” Athena’s are during the race (female participants weighing over 165lbs)
-
Upon reflection, spin class may be having too much of an input on the Ab station routines
-
That was definitely One to Grow On. On many levels

Great work men!
