When your mind is spinning out of control, thoughts of fear and anxiety running through it, all the…

Workout with some new personal records (PRs) on back squat and bench
Today I got video of me squating 325lbsx2 in the bench station (no squat rack at this gym 🙁 ) and of me benching 225lbs. I am not upping my squat max because it might as well be a box squat – can’t quite hit parallel with the bench in the way. FitNotes Workout – Thursday 25th February 2016 **…
