Mat pulls (8)

515 x 8

* This was an interesting experience. Felt very sluggish but this load is light enough that I was still able to brute it up. Had to take rest pauses on the last 2 reps, but the effort to get them up was not grindy at all compared to usual rest pause attempts when I'm digging deep into the well.

Mat pulls (9)

515 x 8

* Getting my body used to pulling this kinda weight again. Really happy I was able to rep this out. Back feels crappy waking up and gets better throughout the day if I'm smart about sitting at work (I have a buncha lumbar health gear for sitting down I want to go over sometime in this blog).
