Moderate Squatting and the Return of the Saxon Bar

September 24, 2012
Before Supper

Got some work in, enough for a sweat but not enough to kill myself as it's the first week back since peaking last week. Time to get work in again for another ramp up! I also pulled out the Saxon bar for the first time since last winter. Today was also my first time doing any sort of two hand pinch in months and I got a 5# PR and a pretty decent hop with an extra 15#.
