May 2025 Hero Workout

The Thang: Leave No Man (or Object) Behind The premise was simple. The execution? Absolutely brutal. Mission: Transport every object from the bottom of “The Hill to Nowhere” to the top… and then back down again. No shortcuts. No skips. Every item...

8 Years of Proving Zima Wrong
