28 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Back felt off on squats today. Upper back was absolutely not cooperating with me. Ssb squats didn't feel solid at all. Got pitched forward by the bar a lot. Knew I had to get my head in gear when I almost got folded by 425lbs. Guess I need more work with this for squatting. I forget I haven't been using it for squats and just gms. Point is, really had to grind to get a 5lbs PR and I barely got it. So close to missing it. Literally had nothing left for the down set and only got a double. Not a lower body issue as I absolutely crushed my csb gm PR. Finished up with some tough pulldowns and stretching.
