working on raising work capacity and frequency. More time spent on the hit that matters less time on the shit that doesnt.

Quote worth reading

"Lifting for reps is boring and the product of nothing but vanity, whereas training for strength bears the fruit of utility and generates interest in the activity being conducted. Reps are something to be endured, whereas testing the limits of one's strength is something to be enjoyed."
