COT: I dug this workout out of the vault after some requested a leg day workout. I hadn’t thought about this in years and as I type this – I remember why we retired it. But sometimes, it’s good to (1) revisit a classic, and (2) create the workout, and lead the workout, that really pushes you and the pax. The Pax will follow – they paid their money, drank the kool-aid. If you want to train or work on something, grab the Q and do it. My legs are going to be sore for 3 days – and I need that. We all need that. Not all the time, but some of the time. Some of the time we need to push just a little but further outside of the comfort zone.
