Contemplated going Ub, figured it would be wiser to force quick breaks to control pace. Went 25/10/8/7 on ttb's. Rested 10-15sec between sets. Hip flexors felt good on this. No pain or feeling of hip impingement. Switched every 5 reps and held across. Used that as my rest. Burpee box jumps were a nasty way to finish workout. Had to focus on maintaining cycle rate and not wanting to flop on the ground./
