Nice pics Rif. Wow, Mike is a total mutant.

How did those rope climbs feel on your elbows and shoulders?

my elbows and shoulders felt fine franz as I couldnt even HANG on the chin bar much less climb a rope last year when those photos were taken.

things have come a long way since then

16 kg snatch 5 x 6/6 1 x 8/8. 20 kg swings 20 sets of 5, band extensions

Better than last week, Plus used the comp bell at the end and it seemed to give me a better lockout for some reason   163.8
