Re: Phoenix WOD
Phillip,
I'll keep it in mind for when I'm up in the Phoenix area. I went to my USAW Club Coach cert at MCC years ago, it was a nice functional gym. Definitely lacked the globo "fluff".

I can back and front squat close to my "normal" max weights B-squat style.
If you want to be more functional and athletic, add it in your repertoire. If you only want to increase your back squat,...
