NOTES
Don’t ditch out on this workout- GO FAST! It’s easy to game this workout so make this a guns-blazing workout. Go hard the first round and hold on to dear life for the rest of it. Loading is light so it’s okay- recovery will go fine for most. Calves might be an issue for some, but only when they push it.
