Finisher: 100 Med Ball Slams
It’s been said before, but that Step Up/RDL pair fries my grip like a child. I tried mixing up the workout today by removing the snatches after the C&P. I thought that I was front-loading the heavy stuff too much and that was costing me on the later exercises (namely the weighted pullups). I did set a PR with 2 reps of 145lb pullups, but didn’t really feel much different. In fact, when I got to the end I was too pooped (mostly in my grip) to add the snatches back in, so I finished with the med ball slams. That’ll teach me for messing with Ross’s plan - he’s tried it and he knows what works.
