Lance Corporal Anthony Adams' Wake & TD 7

this evening was the viewing of Lance Corporal Anthony Adams which took place at Mt. Olive Baptist Church in jersey city, nj from 5-8pm.  it was good to hear his family members and friends speak about how they would remember his smile and good-natured personality, yet it hurt hearing their pain when they talked about how bad they would miss him.  it's cliche, but he's surely in a better place now.  it's a shame that his death is the reason why members of my old platoon from iraq gathered... though i think the blessing out of all this is that we got to be in each other's company- something we rarely get to do out of uniform.  so thank you Anthony, for enabling brothers to hang out with each other outside of work...  we ended up grabbing a few at 1 republik in hoboken afterward.

 earlier that morning, HD and i finally continued our TM training... the last time we had a training day was prior to my trip to las vegas.  we went pretty moderate and decided not to do cardio, thinking we'd save a little extra kick for tomorrow's team training session... so we'll see.  for this TD, we focused on chest, shoulders, and bi's... finishing off with abs:


here's an example of HD going through the ab superset:


tomorrow we bury our brother in the morning, then conduct 4TWC's 1st team training session in the evening.  7 out of 11 members are expected to attend.
