I think it was a good change of pace. I wouldn't make it my go-to for the whole year. I use Operator and a conventional or sumo DL 3x a week would be too punishing.

To take it back to the TB mindset...I have a the hardest time convincing others to try it. People feel like every workout has to be a soul crushing event. TB seems too easy and simple to work. It doesn't help when they see me resting 2-3 minutes a set. Yet, it's been nearly 2 years and I'm still mak...
