Gettin' down and dirty in the back alley behind the gym. That's how Hulk gets down!
I’m expecting some SORE Hulkamaniacs this morning my friends! Last night was definitive brutal, and I’m proud to say that you guys brought it to another level last night. I’m not sure how many of you remember me saying (screaming) “I can see the transition!” last night near the end, but the cohesiveness was palpable. It happened at about 6:47 (I remember because I looked up to see how far along we were) and I could FEEL everybody take it to another level. Worries, frustrations, and insecurities were pushed aside and everyone just SWEAT. Definitely gave me something to clean up!
One of my favorite moments last night was when Chris and Tye got to their ropes and Chris looks over at Tye and says “You ready to do this?” and Tye doesn’t skip a beat when he says “Yup.” This was their first workout together (Tye had been in Hawaii) and none of that mattered when it came down to it. It said “we’re in the trenches together, let’s fight our way out together.”
Another favorite moment was seeing Chenoa fight every urge to drop her arms on the isometric flexes (Bathroom mirror pose) and keep those babies up for the reminder. Chenoa, you truly are a soldier.
ANOTHER favorite moment was Jessica saying “I need to leave for Spanish now, but don’t worry… I’ll be late.” I don’t HOPE for that, but her instant willingness meant a lot. Thank you Jessica. Also, the look in your eye on those ropes got me all KINDS of fired up!!!
Yet another favorite moment was walking by when we were in the back alley and hearing Art chanting to himself during the resistance band curls “I’m not going to stop, I’m not going to stop, I’m not going to stop.” It’s that quiet lightning that turns into Hulk Thunder!!
Kima, thank you for pushing through a tough upper body workout when your elbows bug you as much as they do.
Bobbi, I hope you got those covers on alright!
Meghan, thank you for giving as much as you gave even with a migraine and rough week. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Kristina, I didn’t say it out loud, but you looked like you wanted to legitimately and intensely cry after the last set of Isometric flexes, and I couldn’t have been more proud of that effort. You don’t look the way you looked without giving your absolute all.
Ruben, that pec grab after the “Team Hulk on 3!” didn’t go unnoticed! Neither did your insane effort… I look forward to cleaning your sweat off the floor multiple times a week ;).
Chris, welcome back from the midwest! Hulk missed you. Way to jump right into the deep end my brotha!
Krista, Vegas was kind to you because you destroyed this workout. You’ve got this animalistic look when you’re gettin’ down with the get down that rivals Tug’s war face!
Tug, I hope that you were able to relax your stress ball of a body after that workout! You were red, shaking, and contracting every muscle you had. You, are HULK.
Amanda Martin, you have so many reasons not to give 110%, and none of them ever show. You are so magical, keep it up!
Bud, I NEVER doubt the fact you’re going to give your all whether you need to leave 15 minutes early or not. Last night was no exception.
Kathi, I LOVE hearing you call everybody’s name out and counting down with me. Please don’t ever stop, k?
Cheryl, you are a beacon when people are looking for inspiration. That, and you laugh at my jokes harder than most. Let’s keep that last part up shall we? 😉
I’m flyin’ off the top of my head here, so anybody I miss, it’s not because I don’t love you, more because I’m scattered!
