Shout Outs!

šŸ“£ Shout Out to PorkRoll on his 3rd Manniversary and thank you for delivering a burner of a beatdown at The Rising this Saturday. He left us with this…

This workout was a masterclass in full-body punishment. By the end, the hill had claimed its victims, the weights felt 50% heavier, and the PAX smelled like victory (and probably wet socks). The Disrupter ensured no one could ever relax, because nothing says ā€œbrotherhoodā€ like making your friends do burpees at the worst possible time.
