The hold for as long as possible after the last set is great for mindset. Knowing I could have carried it farther carries positivity over to the next workout.

So this isn’t exactly what Mike’s program calls for, but I decided it would be fun to change it up. I took the same bag as last time, but I added about 30 more pounds of sand to it. So, it’s a victory in that I got 1 rep for a personal record. But, I had some technique breakdown and failed to get the second attempt over the bar. Same technique issues as I had week 3 day 3.
