Mid-week and following a complete thrashing, let’s be honest. Potentially anyway.

Luckily tomorrow you will all be dry at least, battered legs again but they need to be strong so we’re all good. Summer’s coming after all, and this time it really is!

Mid-week and time to completely smash those legs of yours… if you haven’t done so already!

Back squats after a shit ton of wall balls (MORE SQUATS), yep and why? The stimulus is entirely different. The function of the squat the same, I get it. But there is a huge difference to having to squat heavy and low reps vs light and high reps. It is more real world.
