Building Muscle to Back that Chatter

Welcomed by chants of “SIDE EFFECTS…SIDE EFFECTS!” YHC jogged into the waiting circle of the PAX giving high fives and fist bumps to the masses until the clock struck 4:45am on this not so gloomy Saturday in SE Louisiana. YHC would once again have the pleasure…nay, the honor to lead the NOLA PAX after a 4 month hiatus, but it wouldn’t quite go as dreamt. While driving the hour and 15 minutes to the Mothership, YHC once again worried that 4 months without the Creatine Q led to disastrous effects on the NOLA PAX, YHC could just picture a bunch of skinny Uptowners preparing for their next marathon. Welcomed by a few handshakes from F3 brothers, and introductions to yet unknown brothers, the disclaimer and then the mumble chatter rained down like a bunch of R. Kelly wanna-bes. Time to pack some muscle on… to back that chatter.

Mosey toward the Flag

Pause for time on the ledge for:
Dips (IC) x 20
Incline Merkins (IC) x 15
Dips (IC) x 18 (YHC actually correctly executed the proper Q pre-exercise etiquette thanks to Boogey’s and Hawg’s mumble chatter reminders of my subpar Q’ing skills – so much forgotten in 4 months it’s sad)

Finish Mosey to the Flag

Miss and love you brothers!

Thanks for representing The Hood!
