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.
