31 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Hard to stay motivated with these easy, light workouts. Allergies (itchy eyes) on top of the heat wave makes for an unmotivated Craig. I did finally go to the gym. Entire back is still beat from the contest, especially my mid back. Crowded at the gym so I couldn't use most of my favorite things (like the power rack) for this workout but since it was light, it didn't matter. I hang power cleaned the weights for push press from bench stands. I used the same bench for my other pressing. Stuck having to take the weight from the unadjustable rack (like, 4-board starting height) but it was light day and I just wanted to be done with it. Rows were the hardest on my mid back (besides cleaning the weight). The rope attachment broke so I had to find another one for face pulls. Finished up with some stretching.
