The Dogfather gave us a pup-date on his shoulder injury. He has a torn Rottweiler cuff and will need surgery which, if all goes according to plan, will be next Tuesday. This will de-fur-nately have an impact on him and limit his activities for approxi-muttly 4 to 6 mutts.

That’s it, I think I’ve stretched the dog puns as far as I dare. Seriously, we are wishing Tom the best and a quick recovery. We will update everyone here on the site and on Instagram.

At practice, our lifters – Luis, Ryan, Andy, Anthony, Jack, Ben and Jimmy – worked with our doggone great coaches – Anjelica and Josh – on their deadlifts and bench presses. We had a grrrreat workout concentrating on lighter lifts with more reps.

Our next Rude Rec practice will be May 6th. We hope to see you there!
