Rx – 11:00
6 seconds better than 12/21/20. I also think this is even a bigger PR considering that in Dec I didn’t have my assault bike and I’m much quicker in the tower.

Thanx for the tip on the Charley Horse BFS. And yes I am a fellow logger! I’ve been using BTWB for a few years..as well I print the workout everyday and you guessed it…I keep them!! I have them all the way back to 2015 when I started seriously following Invictus. I also used to keep PR records written all over my garage gym walls. I am a true gym rat..lol
Nice! I had been dabbling in Competition late ’14 just cherry picking 2 or 3 of their 50 parts a day, heavily scaled, of course, before settling on Performance in March ’15. It was several years of working towards doing that Rx, still can’t Rx some but am doing so way more often than not last couple yrs amazingly
