Great ‘get back in the gym’ session.  Supinated pull ups- I feel a bit of ‘heat’ strain in the elbows, backed the weight off a bit but they were still hard at 7.5.  30# devils press were heavy for me, never been a movement I’m super efficient at but I do enjoy them.  Felt good to ‘breathe’ a bit.  Thanks!

Still shaking from the bike sprints :).  Gave it my all.  Amazing how my right calf is still so much weaker than my left.  By 13 or so reps on the right the height drops of quite quickly.   Swivel hips harder to the right.  Everything else about the same, set glutes on fire :).  Thanks!

This all felt better than last week as last week my back was recovering from manual labor.  The weather was super bad so I biked instead of sled.  Stretching felt great!  Lots of ab burn on the hollow body and v-ups.  Thanks!

This could not have been a better workout for how my body was feeling.   I pruned everything the day before, about 8 hours of work that had my back super tired and tight.  This cyclical work felt great and the stretching made me feel back to normal the next day.  Loved all the core work too.  Thanks!

Right calf still struggles to get fully onto toes after about rep 8.  Left can totallly handle it.  Last rep on the Cossacks was challenging.  Swivel hips were sooo much harder to extend on the right.  That hip is just more locked up.  Everything else was great.  Big pump and burn after the 1’ bike.  Thanks!
