Glassups 3/side w/44

C+P 3/side w/ 97

Pretty happy, last time I tried to clean this thing was a couple months ago and it almost knocked me over. No problems 3x in a row now.

Goblet squat 3x5@97

Chris said...: Nice to see the "side effects" of other strength training.

I watched Mel knock out a set of near perfect push ups last night. Her form and ROM was an order of magnitude better than approximately 45d of burpee challenge ago.; March 4, 2009 at 12:57 PM
