32 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: I felt good going in so I figured I could do the full stack for the pulldowns for 60 reps total. I was right. Gun to my head, I think 20 reps would have been a possibility on that first set. Remembering my first week, I knew that doing this much would make rows tough. I also remembered that heavier weight on the chest supported row with dumbbells makes it harder to breath so I did as many as I could in a clip took a deep breath and finished up the set. Went home for sled dragging. I remembered that I have a hand-truck so I used that to bring out all the plates and the sandbags. 350lbs was pretty darn tough right off the bat but I knew that wasn't good enough. 400lbs made me feel like I was going to vomit up breakfast. Then the sandbags betrayed me. The idea was to keep adding 50lbs a set but 450lbs became 400lbs after about 10' and the same thing happened with 500lbs on the last set. Oh well, I got some good work in regardless of backstabbing sandbags. Lots of stretching to cool down.
