Some ab and mobility work…some.

Those are some really heavy rack pulls. What height do you do them at?

Not too impressive considering they are above the knee. Pulling from below that,including the floor, is literally a pain in the back. It does enough to strengthen my back without hurting other shit. Too old to be doing any more damage. On that note…

I know what you mean. I have to be sooo deliberate when I do them. I actually look kinda funny. However, pain free is so much more important. And besides, considering all the baggery I see going on at my gym, I don’t really look THAT silly!!!
