Slower than last time by 8 bj’s (chins made it longer than rows) but I also started already still aching from my last wod so overall not too bad.
I obviously had a brain fart when i wrote this wod down because I had already done the 23rd and I did again today - including the same 26kg front squat - what a muppet!
Might have to change schedule to tue - wed - fri - sun but we will see how it goes.
