Marco and Polo Thank the Creators of IcyHot

In case you haven't caught on we are crazy, as such a couple of weeks ago we decided to have one of our signature 'death' workouts.  a death workout is a day for us to go to the rec and see how far we can push our bodies, this means working out for hours, switching between muscle groups, consuming protein bars, and lots and lots of water (and power drinks).  We know, we know, this cannot be healthy, especially since we only do it about once every 6 months.  But we don't do it for the physical health, we do it for the mental health.  The incredible 'high' we get out of pushing ourselves into our chemical homeostasis is so off balance that we can't stop trembling, and the relaxing calm we receive as a result.  So what do these insane work outs of death look like?
