Man… this was… nothing. Granted, as Strong-15 progress you are supposed to ramp down on the assistance work. But man, there’s almost nothing today. I was in and out quickly and felt like I was just warmed up when it was all done. Ah well, it’s how it goes.

That said, I noticed all week as I worked on assistance stuff that I found myself putting more effort into what I did do. I made sure every rep counted, good tempo, good form, really feel and work everything. It showed me that I’m not always putting everything in that I could and should… something it’s just crankin’ out the reps. A good learning point.
