Skipped a couple of weeks for vacation, but this brought me back to the grind mentality, thanks coach

Darren

This was ROUGH. A great test of where I’m at physically after not consistently going to the gym over the last year. It kicked my ass. Can’t feel my arms and I really had to pace myself on the treadmill sprints. Really great baseline that I can grow from.

Anthony

Another day down, hard work, but feels great!

Robert
