So, I got up at 5:30 this morning to lift at the shed. It, of course, was rad. First iron is always rad. You need to be pretty committed to be the first dude to handle the weights in the morning. Same old thing today – bench, close-grip bench, incline bench. And I finished with… Continue reading first iron
