Usual warm-up type stuff. Windmills, merkins, that kind of stuff…
THE THANG:
First we pulled up behind the Greek place for a <@U01FDRQSQG3> and <@U0603USPHAS> favorite, some chair work. These freaking chairs weigh at least 55-60 pounds. And they’re awkward. Terrible. Did some overhead presses, maybe something else… I don’t really remember.
Then we ran it down to the parking deck at Red Ventures. Stopped at some light poles on the way down. Ran up and down the deck and the stairs and such. It was a real nice time.
