Sometimes in life, you find things that just seem to work.
YHC led a Follow the Ladder workout at the West Side in January, and when Belly Dancer asked YHC to Q The Rush, YHC got to thinking… Man, that workout would fit perfectly at JH Rose.
YHC even wore the same workout gear from yesterday, to smell extra manly.
Since this workout is much manlier than anything Aquaman could come up.
Heck, at the end of the 45 minute beatdown, every PAX member had grown a massive Belly Dancer sized Man-Mane on their faces.
Epic.
Enough talking, here is what went down…

After the Beatdown YHC challenged every PAX member in the circle to browse the directory & find a PAX member that is MIA, then send a quick text or email or Twitter / Facebook message to let them know that we miss them. This is a powerful thing and takes you less than 5 minutes to do. It is easy to get out of rhythm, and a simple check in can be all the difference in the world. So now, YHC challenges EVERY PAX member reading this BackBlast to do the same. Jump on the directory, right now, and find someone that you have not seen in the Gloom for a while. Drop him a quick simple line that translates “WE WANT YOU BACK”. We are all in this thing together, fellas. And it is NOT ABOUT US. It is MUCH BIGGER than that. Let’s #GiveItAway by bringing back guys that have fallen away. #LeaveNoManBehind
Love you all.
