Station 1: 15-20 Dumbbell or Kettlebell Push Presses

If the weight feels naturally light go up a smale step. For… Read more »

I work off of 365. The singles actually went great and felt easier than the doubles. Idk what my true max is anymore. Today I was wore out from the weekend and was honestly surprised they felt that smooth.
