Workout Wednesday with the Universal Guys
… Last year the small gym in Miami was home to 3 US Junior National Team Members in Danell Leyva, Edward Mesa, and Max Mayr. …
This workout was filmed January 12, a few days after their home meet, the Universal Invite. Typically theses guys train twice a day, and this is footage of their morning workout.
