Scott Yard: 8 Weeks Out

Squat Pull Day

Great workout today. We went heavy on the squats; we did a shit load of speed work on the deadlifts and even finished with some front squat singles. DAMN! Tired after this one, but I feel strong. The meet is about 8 weeks out and I’m feeling optimistic. Squat
