decent workout

I wouldn’t use a sled on a soft lawn, or any lawn for that matter, if your interested in doing some tough GPP around your house you should look into getting a 400+ lb tire. Sled work is best done on a flat concrete/ashplalt surface such as a parking lot.

Strong numbers, keep it up.

Hey I noticed a couple weeks ago you did front squats starting at the bottom, what does this focus on? Is it the opposite of a rack lockout? DOes it just focus on the bottom portion of the squat?

Edit - I know a rack lockout is a bench exercise…I was just comparing it to how it focuses on the lockout portion and not the bottom.
