20261111 Training Session - Ya Think 26.3 Couldn’t Get Any Worse?

I got a pretty solid training session for you today - 26.3 variations, heavy back squats, 30 rope climbs, and ... ring rows? Different than usual, but I start by training to explain the method behind the madness - namely, the rationale for performing versions of 26.3 nearly every week and the massive gains I've seen from how I've structured this block. Then, I take you through my PM training pieces. They were a DOOZEY!
