Week 2 Day 1- ME Lower

Education, Powerlifting, Training Log, UncategorizedBy Austin ElpersNovember 6, 2017Leave a comment

I was still feeling pretty beat up from the previous week when I came in. Upper back was sore and hamstrings weren’t firing as fast either. I was kind of upset about some of the numbers that got but that’s how training goes sometimes, so I’ll take the good with the bad. A1) SSB Box…
