comments
- I am not a fan of banded squats. Band loses too much tension when you squat deep. Plus, there's no "set" tension on those things. I did them regardless. Worked up to just 225 because the legs were a little beat from yesterday.
- The conditioning was good. I did a version of it a few weeks ago. More cals, more toes to bar, lighter bad, and longer carry. Today I wanted sub 5 mins....finished with 5:02. It was all mental. Forcing the bike pace on the last round knowing your breathing is limited with carrying the bag. Good time for a day or two off.
