    MOLESKIN

    After four months of weekly to twice-weekly posts, YHC decided it was time to step up and lose his V.  After a few minor counting hiccups during the COP, YHC and VQ settled in and lead the PAX through a series of his favorite exercises from the past four months.  Some of the PAX may have noted similarities to their own workouts, only modified so YHC can take full credit.  Notable moans and groans were heard throughout the beatdown, though not sure if that was the weather or the workout.

    TYA especially enjoyed the muscle ups (thank Toga for that one) and the Toppling Dominoes may appear in a Swirly Q sometime soon.  YHC is not sure if TDs already exist in the F3 Nation, but would like credit for creating and naming an exercise if not.

    It was an honor to step out front today and look forward to doing it again.  YHC appreciates the words of encouragement and welcomes any constructive words of advice.
