Friday....Did most of the morning boot camp class...pushes, pulls, squats, sprints, etc.It was hot and sticky, I was sweating before we even started.Finished up with clients, music work, nap time.Woke up, ate and back to the Garage for more. Finished with clients and started taking apart the beer barrel that Purdy Lounge donated to us (thanks!).After a few minutes, got it open and filled it half way with water. Lifting this thing is a whole new experience. Uneven weight provides a whole new chal...

Everything.Moved on to some trapezius work and got finished with serious bicep work, all ...
