Where u training brah?

I coach at my old high school which has a weight room. Since it’s a school facility, we technically don’t have to close.

That said, school is closing at the end of next week which leaves me out of options

Rent gear. Shady business deals will boost the economy

Hahah. We’ll probably start running bootcamp-style sessions for the boys on the forty fields
