sprints 2x an easy 100

nice active recovery day after yesterdays zerchers and friends

Any thoughts about the vest? I’m thinking about one. Just thinking.

I like it, I have used off and on for years…Mine has removable 3lb blocks and maxes out at 36lbs…For my use there really isn’t a need to go higher in weight as I use to add a small amount work effort…makes breathing a little harder , helps with posture and pulls my traps down which tend to get over tight…Obviously you can use with push ups, pull ups and anywhere actually other than bench. If you plan on multiple uses I would look at MiR short vest.

Hmmmm… Boy! This could go a couple of different directions here. Better just keep quiet🤣 Nice work oldergoat!

I’ve met you and you didn’t seem that dense. Nice volume with the zerchers. I tend to do a lot of sets with one or two exercises. Just seems like the right thing to do.

Nice work on the zerchers

CL- should have taken the opening !
Steve- you could have left out the word “that”…hahaha
Harry- I actually like zerchers and thanks but I’m disappointed I didn’t get an adequate!

Okay. The last pic I saw of you on here, you looked very dense. Pretty much pure muscle and no fluff! Dense!

Zerchers are awesome. I like the idea of the pause.

Crippler…the pause really makes you work.

best day sprinting yet. stride felt spot on…for someone slightly beyond teenage years

I’ve been doing sprints everyday after work. I found some how over the years, I lost anything close to speed.
