16 men gathered for this weeks episode of The Forge. After a brief disclaimer and description of YHC’s SOJ-ness we began with a COP.

A hilly neighborhood street can be its own AO. Mosey across Forest Hill Avenue and down Lansbury to the intersection of Lansbury and Stratford Road. Partner up for a Dora.

Five right minded gents rose early enough for some stretching and relaxation tactics to ease their troubled thoughts. Some came with the appropriate floor coverings, one brave soul chose to go natural. Here is how things went as caught on camera. Areas of emphasis included shoulders, backs, hammys and hips. Extended stays in pigeon and shavasana are always appreciated by the group. Ideal conditions for good broga. Thank you gents for the opportunity.

A squad of six SOJ ruck maniacs took to the Stratford Hills for a few laps around the hood, and to assist YHC in shifting the GTE logs closer to the load & launch area. Only 17 days remain until GTE #47 and conversation abounded with log lifting strategies, footwear and sock tips, knot tying methods, and other useful preparedness knowledge.

Immanuel Kant was a German philosopher and one of the central Enlightenment thinkers. Born in Königsberg, Kant’s comprehensive and systematic works in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics have made him one of the most influential and controversial figures in modern Western philosophy, being called the “father of modern ethics”, “father of modern aesthetics” and, by bringing together rationalism and empiricism, the “father of modern philosophy”. (source: Wikepedia) I remember him from college mostly because of the high respect he got in the Philosophy department, although I never really studied him. Below are a couple of terms you may not be…

Four Star Gazing Hardwoods escaped the clutches of the fart sack to the warm embrace and ideal conditions on the hard courts of No Toll. Shoulders, hammys and hips were the requested target areas by the ruckers recovering from the weekend 10 miler. Some back and calves were worked in as well with the Shavasana on top. Great showing this morning in preparation of the ensuing House Party beatdown.
