I went for max reps instead of going for 20 bc I knew if I used the 100# D-Ball it wouldn’t have been as challenging. Also bc you literally told me I should be using the 150# sandbag LOL @tinomarini:disqus Didn’t have too much time because I had an exam today so after I got out of class I did a modified version of the class workout at my gym 2 Rounds: 30 Cal AB 15 Box Jumps 30″… Read more »

My back started to tighten up, so I was struggling with DB snatch. My hamstrings have been tighter from the extra running with track team. I think I’ll be adjusted to it by next week.

The more exposure you have to the assault bike the better. You’ll learn your paces from being on it a lot so don’t be scared to push and experiment. You will get better but unfortunately it will continue to hurt just the same 🙂

Oh and theres no excuse to break up air squats. Its like saying I lay on the floor and failed to get back up again. You can always do another rep! 🙂

Hahah. Thanks Tino. By break up I mean legs literally wouldn’t stand back up. Took a breath. And pushed up after a second as opposed to one after another. No more than 1 second break but still pissed that I had to take that second.
