NMS: Just a brutal morning. Hot Potatoes are tough enough, add in a Swedish Sauna, and you had Batteau today. All I can say is, way to work men. There was no hiding today. Swirly worked us over, then we had to climb out of the bottom and work in some abs. By the time YHC handed it off to Phonics, I was done. Lack of oxygen to the brain made me forget how ruthless and demanding a Phonics lead 6MOM can be. Not only did he bang out all of those exercises, but he did so in cadence with authority! Well done Phonics. YHC is known to sweat. Today I gave back about five pounds in water weight. Add that to the five I gave on the trails yesterday, and it’s not a bad start to the week. Drink lots of water today men, and we’ll see you back out tomorrow.

Heck of a job today fellas.
Excellent backblast Vinny. Today’s workout was definitely worth the ride over. Everytime I post at Batteau I’m so tired at the end I have trouble driving home. I’m just happy that Swirly went first because if I had to do all of those merkons and burpees at the end, I would not have been able to get up all the steps to get back to the SF. Follow it up with the PLT that Vinny led and then the 6MOM, it was a brutal workout. Well done.PAX!
Brutal! Well done, men.
I decided I will spare you all from another Hot Potato in 2 weeks. Need to serve up some Gumbo at Batteau…it’s been too long.
Very well done guys – man that was a smoker !
Thanks for writing up the BB Vinny. Great to have Phonics join us this morning..
See y’all in the gloom..
