Not the best workout I've ever had, but far from the worst. I'll take it! I like the idea of a pyramid workout, but I feel like doing one rep of something is stupid, thus the half-pyramid. It's a bit of a cop-out, I guess, but I did do 5 rounds so that helps? Maybe next time I'll start at 12 reps and work my way down. I also feel like I got zero ab work in, so I'll focus on that tomorrow. Hope it stops raining soon...
