Felt like a lighter speed day.

Yes, speed work DOES work when done right. Thousands of lifters and a generation (or two) of trial and error can’t be wrong.

This was lighter than usual for speed work, but I wanted it that way so I could hammer the piss out of the volume, plus I still cannot push the weight to where I want to yet, so everything is fucking light for now.
