Did banded assistance work in place of partner.

Big day. Wish I could have got some running in. But that was a big session.

Thank you all! Happy rest day.

Primary conditioning:
A&B: 40:28 working by myself in my garage. Only had a 14# WB so I threw to a 12ft target.

Tried to at least do the front squats and that didn’t happen, so finished with the accessory work from conditioning session.

My body feels a little beat, so not trying to squeeze anything else in today. Running will be tomorrow!
