This is not easy. A lot of this was dialing in my form, recruiting abs and glutes properly, stopping myself from squatting and focusing on hinging. Plus my stamina went up and down because it’s a total mindfuck after the first cluster to think about doing it 4 more times. Reread the workout and I’m supposed to rest 30-60 seconds between sets and 3 min between clusters. I probably did no more than 30 seconds rest and definitely never hit the 3 minute mark between clusters. I hope I didn’t set too low of a time too soon, who knows. @dchris what was a good time for you as you progressed through these?
