  • The PAX: Big Bird, LIFO, FarahandFarah, Bull, Jumanji, Corleone, FNG Stan King (Snuffy) FNG Mason Navidi (WrongWay)

8 PAX including 2 FNGs posted to the new AO for some Labor Day labor.  Since YHC’s personal mission is to prevent soccer arms we focused on the upper body a bit.  Awesome to see Big Bird’s dad and LIFO’s son out for the first time.  Making #GetBetter a family affair.
