- Notes: Step ups felt really good. Trying a slightly different technique, more in the power athlete repertoire: wide stance, lower box, starting at least 1 foot away from the box and really pulling up and thru with my hammies. High kick thru w. balance at the top. Definitely is more of a posterior chain model of stepping. The upper body circuit was crushing me for some reason today.
- Body: Upper back is sore here and there, generally tight and needs some massage up there.
