Lots of stuff today. Time to get into some real, focused/hard training.
You also got some leg presses in. My only issue with them is I have messed my knees up a couple times doing them. It comes from going too heavy. I see the benefit of going light and doing a bunch of reps.
Agreed; same with the Belt SQ machine we have. Although, loading 700+ on it is kinda fun now the then.
