If Wilt Chamberlain met Nicole (well he probably did)
It was cool morning and 11 showed up for my Q at the Abyss. I gave a brief but full disclaimer. We did a fast mosey, because they don't always have to be slow (I picked this up from a Backblast where Duck Dynasty…

Bottoms Up at the Hive
About a year ago, YHC successfully evaded a request from Tesh to Q at the Hive, citing lack of experience at a kettlebell AO – and a lack of a kettlebell – as sufficient reason to decline. He never asked again. Band…
