I am a Tough Mudder

Yesterday, I participated in the Tough Mudder. If was a 12.5 mile adventure race that included 23 total obstacles that tested every kind of strength you have. From 50lb log carrying, to monkey bars, freezing cold water, 12 foot wall climbs and electric shocks this race offered the full spectrum of tests. I can honestly say that my brother and I were well prepared for each obstacle and completed the course in an impressive 2 hours and 47 minutes. Not to toot my own horn, but these workouts I have been posting positioned me beautifully for success. So it seems there is a method to this madness. With all that in mind, we will continue on with the training for the next event.... The GORUCK Challenge!!

This workout is to bring some mass back since we have done a lot of cardio routines lately. Enjoy!
