Crushing Leg Day in the Humidity

We had the good fortune of receiving a good soaking monsoon rain in the northeastern side of Tucson. It did make the afternoon lifting session a bit swampy and the sled drag through the wet sand in our wash was especially taxing. There were three of us to lift today which I often times think is the perfect number of workout partners. Lift and then you are forced to rest while two other people complete the exercise. Folks worked hard and kept on trying. Kept on pushing themselves and did not give up. Great workout!

Today's quote is from Bear Grylls:

"Survival can be summed up in three words- never give up. That is the heart of it really. Just keep trying."
