This session was done late at night after an 8 hour final, and it's the best session I've had in a while! Almost wasn't able to get it in because the gym closes at 6pm on weekends, but Murph (love of my life!) is an incredible teammate and friend and let me train after hours. Really lucky to have people like him in my life (once you get past the profanities, and shenanigans, he's a sweetheart/ one of the most loyal friends you could ask for).
