  • Welcome Brian Backoffner (sorry if I butchered that) for his first post. Now come back again to get named. It won't get any easier, but you will get stronger.
  • Several pax crushed this beatdown with #Ruckson…TClaps…now go knock out Mr. Burns daily beatdown, must be arms day.
  • Bear crawls and partner carries always bring the BS calls early and often
  • I didn't hear much mumblechatter (mostly due to the inability to hear over my own heavy breathing) so sound off if there was anything worthwhile
  • Jolly didn't call BS on the "Ruck Friendly" workout until the J Lo…go figure
  • The pax crushed this workout…Bam Bam looked ready for me to call "Repeato" at 0615…must be time to grab a ruck. We could use several of you in April.
  • Lots of 2nd F events going down, check the website.
  • #Gladiator is moving from 131 Main over to St. Marks AO on March 22
  • Thanks to Ditka for the opportunity to Q at #TheMightyOak. It's always a pleasure to lead such a great group of men. As always, thanks to the Lake Forest Men's Ministry for the EH (Email Headlock) and to the pax for the constant encouragement and motivation. Until the next time…
