"You know it’s gotta be freezing cold for me to be working out in a full sweatsuit. This had to be the coldest night ever in Metroflex gym. It was 12 degrees outside and about 20 degrees inside the gym. No matter what I did I could not get my hands to thaw out. They were numb the entire time of the workout. Oh well, once again it’s on, ain’t no freezing temperatures stopping no workout for BigRon. #yeahbuddylightweightbaby."
