That seems like a killer day of training!! I would be interested to get the thoughts of the forum regarding that session, and also how that sort of training evolved into Charlie’s more contemporary methods. Also Charlie, did you set both those sessions, or would Angella have snuck in one of those sessions by herself in an effort to work harder???
