T-Claps to 4howa for doing a solo preruck. Typically, the M.O. at Patmos on Mondays is to not kill anyone, but with it being a holiday I figured I would push it a little.
T-Claps to Gummy for EHing and getting a FNG and Kotters. We need to continue to push each other to do the harder thing. Come out for the guys leading the workout or that need your support. Be accountable for your health and well-being.
I hope everyone has a nice day of relaxing and grilling. If you are working, I hope you have an enjoyable evening.
There are 2 beatdowns tomorrow. Hope you will be at 1 of them.

First, thanks to all the PAX for bringing more than enough sandbags so I didn’t have to improvise. Second, it’s unfortunate that Wicker is closed and that PAX must travel a little bit longer to workout, but I am super appreciative to see them. Third, thank you to everyone that has donated money towards coffeeteria for Dr. Freud’s brother’s church in NC. We have raised $148 so far and Dr. Freud will close things out in a post later today. I will still do onsite coffee for anyone Qing that wants it. No need to make any more donations. We have plenty of cups, filters, coffee grounds, etc.
T-Claps to all of the preruckers and runners. I know trader Joe hit 10K steps during the beatdown!!
I was randomly thinking about the word nightmares and thought to myself if this word exists that would be because we need to differentiate it from daymares otherwise we would just say mares. Lo and behold, I was correct! Anywho, you all know I love my themes and love to plan my Qs around them. Told Optimus before we started that I probably have only completely winged 2 Qs over my 9+ years. I can do it, but it won’t turn out as good. Props to all of you that can do that.
As always, thanks for following my lead. Continue prayer and posting physically; not Band social posting. Remember, Fe sharpens Fe. We are better and stronger together. Love you all. Be safe and stay strong.
SYITG,

This looked easier on paper, but it was not. I liked the combination of the exercises, so that was a plus. We really worked the shoulders, chest, and quads today. O.G. paced the group for both sets of elevens. What a beast! It was a small, but mighty group today. Guessing that is how it will be on Tuesdays now that folks are back to teaching and whatnot.
Be on the lookout for another VQ tomorrow with Smokey Robinson at The Dump and then a rare Saluki Q at The Hub on Thursday!
Continue to pray for all those going through difficult times. Continue to EH. Continue to post.
Love you guys,
HHH
