Gold star.
Unless you flip flopped it. Accessory work should never be the majority of your fitness routine.
Remember your roots: high intensity, power output workouts.
That’s the good stuff. The stuff that’ll get you climbing up the leaderboard.
And that’s the goal, amirite?

But what’s more important? Giving that structure some power.
Remember, high intensity THEN accessory.
