Bent over rear delt raise with KB's: 4 sets of 10 with 12 Kg bells.
Did a little bit of band stretching for my pecs and biceps, but that was it.

Stef and I went to the world's strongest man in Wingate NC Thursday. It was a surreal experience. I met a lot of great people and stood in the shadow of giants like Brian shaw and Thor. Even the retired world's strongest men like Kaz and phister look jacked. It was a great experience that gives perspective. It is always good for your training to be around people that make you feel Weak and Tiny!
