🚨 First Train Hard Men’s Club meetup in Sunnyside Queens is in the books!
It started with a few guys ready to show up. No excuses. No agenda. Just men training hard, shoulder to shoulder.
We pushed through the work, sweat it out, and left stronger.
This is just the beginning.

TRAIN HARD. 💪
Thank you Aubergine Cafe for keeping us caffeinated post ruck.

Partner Kalsu – Breathe & Burn 🔥

150 Thrusters
EMOM: 5 Burpees (every minute on the minute)
This one hurts, but you’ve got a partner for a reason!

Strategy & Briefing: Move at a steady pace on the Burpees every minute and keep breathing continuous. Alternate who works on the Thrusters each minute — that way someone is always fresh and you can get into a rhythm.

This will keep you on track and (hopefully) out of Burpee jail. Push it a bit towards the end to save a set or two of Burpees, and finish strong together! 💪
Partners = built-in relief… but pacing is still everything.
Drop a 🔥 if you’re in!
