Afternoon session:
2RM 1 1/4 FS 255

Comp Blog Work this AM. Had to get that 1RM back squat in! ?

Came back tonight for:
Did A: Front Racked Step Ups & L-Sit Legless + Legless (back to feeling good after feeling heavy on Saturday)

Then 100 Cal AB: 8:27 – not super impressive but my goal was sub-9:00. First time I did this last year my goal was under 10:00. Goal next time is sub-8:00. Progress! Training isn’t all about Back Squat PRs! ?
