YHC has completed maybe a hundred or more workouts at this AO throughout the years. Today we remembered one of my first posts here that was delivered by Brett Michaels…”The Michigan”. It was super tough back then and still can be today depending on how much you push yourself. Anyway, here is the workout we did.
