2025 Two Fisted Challenge

Despite my better judgement, I went ahead and competed in the Two Fisted Challenge hosted by Clark's Gym.  It was nice to have Jarrod, Elijah and Karena join me for some lifting.  So far so good, my fingers do not seem too much worse for the wear, but I will certainly know more tomorrow.
