Knife Skills (& Strength Monday)

In my quest for lean superhero-ness, I’m following the Wendler 5/3/1 strength training program. Twice a week, Dave and I are hitting the craptastic gym in our Converse to lift heavy and crank through a mini-metcon.


Honing my edge.

Tonight is my knife skills class at Whole Foods. I’m wondering… should I bring my own costume for the knife throwing portion of the training, or do you think they have a trunk of costumes for us to chose from?
