That looks super yummy! I’ll have to try that out this weekend.
Daniel as Rx’d - 18:56. It took me 4 minutes to do the last 50 pull ups! But it’s a 1:22 PR from last time 2 years ago!

There happens to be a cake that looks exactly like that on my kitchen counter…and it also happens to be my birthday…hmmmm…..i mean yummmmmmm
Daniel scaled to 35 Pullups and 75# thrusters…18:59. Still a doozie…I would say not bad for 42, but Amy beat me by 3 seconds and did it RX…anyway…better than basically anybody else I know who is my age and doesn’t workout with us. This year, I gave myself the gift of scaling, which I didn’t do last year (Angie RX) on my birthday and I think this one will end up being a better idea. age=wisdom
