In the brisk, pre-rain chill, we kicked off with a thorough warm-up, including dynamic stretches. Farmer carrying kettlebells, we tackled single-leg curb Alabama prom dates for hamstring focus, followed by sumo squats and lunges. Transitioning to the next spot, we engaged in a core-intensive sequence: 1-minute planks, LBCs, side planks, heels to heaven, and Freddie Mercury, capped off with another minute of regular plank. The mosey back featured two sets of Murican/kettlebell pull-throughs, single-arm shoulder presses, and kettlebell swings. A reflective cooldown of stretching ensued, accompanied by a gratitude-sharing session. As the cold hinted at imminent rain, Three Doors Down…

I saw NTB post a solo beat down at The Forge recently. “Pretty cool,” I thought. A different type of “test” as Rosie commented, a different mental angle on resolve and commitment. As I watched the clock inch closer to 5:30, a solo outing appeared imminent. Then headlights beamed across the asphalt and our notorious Wildcat emerged from his parked car. Who better to light the fuse of a post Yeehaw beat down? The rain had lightened up, and millions of bags of wrapped candy lay in the back of cupboards all across town. LET’S GO!
