9 Men rolled out to perfect weather and a fun new challenge.  All got better. 

Concrete Love.  Embrace it.  

Concrete never lies to you.  You can walk into the world and listen to all kinds of talk, get told you are a god or a total bastard.  But concrete will always kick you the real deal.  A 32 pound block of concrete makes a great reference point, an all-knowing perspective giver.  Always there like a beacon calling you from the dark of SVU.  You can find in it a great friend.  It never freaks out, never runs.  Friends may come and go. But a 32 pound block of concrete is always 32 pounds.

Warm-up: Small Hill Mosey.  While you’re at it, swing your arms to loosen up the shoulders.  Now back to the park to meet our new, best 32 lb friends.

Mole Skin:

  • Tough workout to forget gloves!  

  • Who knew concrete could be so much fun???
