17 Jul Jonathan Byrd: Some pretty boring training, and some CRAZY strong squatting from a client!

Just some easy auxiliary work

4×8 kb swings
4×8 goblet squats
4×8 dumbbell shrugs
3×10 seconds static double over hand holds
3×10 lat pull down
3×10 band fly
3×20 band push downs

Nice easy day, was able to get my typical work in and then made up for some missed work on Monday.

Now for the impressive stuff! This is week 1 in gear for Jeff Frank as he prepares for the USPA Olympia. Jeff has mostly been a raw lifter and just now starting to learn his gear. I can’t wait to see how things progress over the next 10 weeks as form,depth, and weights all get adjusted!
