Trying to take it slow but man is it addicting. Need to pick up some Ironmind pads soon, the timber ties I have are way too easy in suede. Also did quite a bit of upper body band work; pullaparts, curls, tricep extensions, straight arm pull downs, etc Edited September 2, 2019 by FrankSobotka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will stick with strict presses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
