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.

Short lifts this week. Still nursing along my Adductor issue; no squat PR’s for awhile ::(( Keep it moving, mostly pain free, and keep on rolling.

We had a VIP training with the AM crowd Thurs/Fri. It’s amazing how a Powerful Woman, carrying 400+ lbs, and cranking out pull-ups will fire up a gym !!!
