I decided it was time to start working in gear again. I've done a little shirt work but otherwise, I've not trained in gear since December.

Saturday

box squats - box set 1/2 inch above parallel - wore Metal Ace briefs

worked up to 750 for two singles

 

GHR

3 sets of 12 reps

 

hanging leg raises

3 sets of 15 reps

 

I wasn't sitting back as far as I should with the briefs on but the weight moved well and things felt good.
