A pair of Brojii veterans beat back the holiday fart sack to work out the kinks before a moist No Toll beatdown. Today we worked shoulders, back, hips, glutes and quads under the foliage coverage surrounding the No Toll courts. Good to have Chaplain come out in less than ideal conditions.

Ideal Broga
A late night inquiry for Broga was what YHC needed to get the morning started right. Perfect conditions were on tap for a pair of Broga regulars to hit No Toll early. Chaplain called for hamstrings and hips to be the focus of todays’ routine and YHC happily obliged while throwing in some shoulders and back work as well. Pigeon is always a crowd favorite and no exception this morning. Thanks Chap for the encouragement to get up this morning.
