That was challenging! The transition from front squat to back squat was the toughest part for me.

Great to see Erin M again.

Aloha,

It is amazing how high your heart rate gets doing this. Grip and shoulders are definately the limiting factors.

Wow. That was a beastly one. Last push press after the back squat was killer.

Great to be back!

@Adam - agreed, the transition to the back squat was tough.

It was interesting working without a time component/constraint. That would have seriously changed my loads.

65, 75, 95....realized the bar was bent...., 115, 125


i put the bent bar in the corner with a spring collar on it. It is really badly bent to the point where it will roll on you at the worst possible moment.
