Damn good PR on the reverse band. How tall is your rack, BTW?

it’s the commercial 3x3 elite rack, 7.5ft tall. Def taller than the last rack I used it on which was a 2x2 that we choked the bands around the cross brace, so I’m not sure how the weight plays out at the bottom, but it was definitely heavy haha.

things have been crazy and have had a hard time keeping my log updated on here. Sorry for those who follow, but my personal life has been nuts and it’s effected a lot of my life. My training has been very good, as I have been able to focus my aggressions that way, and I’m back to training with my old training partner Juan, which let’s me feel a lot better about pushing myself since I now have a competent spotter. Will do my best to keep updating, thanks!
