Moleskin:

Proper execution of the LCPs was elusive – with some more reps we’ll master this compound movement that promises to pair nicely with TGUs.

*We fell short on 24 L KB Snatches today – homework for the amusement of your neighbors.

Unspoken were the thoughts that EMOMs are the stock and trade of the unimaginative Q – mea culpa.

Great to have Kru out for his sophomore showing at the CM – even brought two KBs. Those Gloucester boys are strong.

Speculation was rampant concerning WhiteDeer’s impressive punch at the top of each snatch: was he one of those kids constantly raising his hand in class to the annoyance of his less eager classmates? Johnsonville’s conversion to a heavier KB is a success based on his strong efforts today. FlipPhone ripped through the EMOMs begging the question: does he need a heavier KB? ChumBucket stepped out from the protection of the bus lane cover and commanded the rain to stop – and it did, with the rain yielding to a dry and pleasant morning.

Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. Let all that you do be done with love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14
