Circuit 3/6/9/12 @ 100/BW/40

Why do I ask for this?

Actually felt pretty good. A little niggle in the hip still and a knot in my left trap as I was starting the last round but not too bad overall.

Post work session again.
Failing a fair bit today.
Hip still feeling odd. Still not sure on what’s going on here.
