37 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: I woke up around noon and started laughing when I looked outside. Not a single speck of snow. Everyone else I knew had been hit with snow except for me. I went over to the gym to pick up the Swiss bar and took it to Max Fitness. A friend wanted to try it out and I'll be picking it back up on Tuesday when I lift there. Sounds like they are doing alright over there as they just got a new ssb and will be getting a new ghr soon for cheap (around $200). Might add that back in but I think reverse hypers are better for me. Went over to workout a little later and got things set up. Speed pressing is starting all over again with a new band tension setup. Did my working sets in under 5 minutes so good pace. Double overhand axle power shrugs were pretty good. Went with lazy strength and added 5lbs to my working sets rather than use the smaller plate combo. 395lbs was tough. First rep was just so-so, second one I lost my grip after the shrug but the last rep was picture perfect. I filmed these since a friend was curious as to how I did them. Finished up with face pulls, which felt light and strong, and then stretching. Maybe the snow storm will come tonight for me?
