12 Pains of Christmas at Tectonic

8 men showed up at Tectonic for Christmas themed beat down. YHC signed up the Q before officially going on the DL. Determined and needing a solid beat down, YHC didn’t entertain the thought of giving up the Q. Rather find a way to deliver some solid work while being a little limited. I think we found a way to get some decent work done.

Great push by the PAX. The Merkin Ring will be an exercise to remember (or forget depending on who’s asking). Highest number achieved by PAX was exercise #9. This set was brutal and guys pushed through for some serious work. Some tried to call it up to “better on paper,” but YHC sees it as achieving the goal. Setting out for some serious work and leaving others never wanting to see certain components of the workout again. Others challenged to attempt again to try and do better next time.
