End-of-summer workout
Shorter days and a fresh chill in the air – it can only mean one thing: The end of summer is almost upon us. It has been a rough few months out in the Pacific Northwest, with tons of wildfire smoke and not enough precipitation. I’m actually looking forward to the start of fall and …

If ring dips are out of your grasp, try jumping/eccentric dips, or bench dips for a beginner option. How I did it: 185 …
