Conditioning, Triple G Chipper: 19:23 – GHDs killed me. Can’t remember the last time I did them nevertheless in a met con and that many… pistols were fast which was surprising after the GHDs. Row was a little slow. But… silver lining: I was super happy with the SA DB overheads. Did 2x 5R, 5L. Solid push presses all the way.
