030 Tempo GHR - BWX6, 6, 6 @6/7

Was out of the gym for 10 days after contracting Covid.  Between that and still being focused on reversing my Diabetes diagnosis, I decided to out-source my programming.

I've been a long-time follower of the Barbell Medicine crew and their content, and thought their new-ish, Low Fatigue program might be just the thing.  

After 10 days off, this session was pretty hard, and I was very tired at the end.  It's a lower average RPE, and and only a few total work reps more than what I was doing pre-COVID, but is 50% more work sets.  Hopefully, my conditioning etc. bounces back / catches up fairly quickly.

The tempo GHRs with a hold under tension at the top are new to me.  The hold is MUCH more challenging than I expected.
