As difficult as the BSS are, I'm finding the lateral rolls to be as difficult or more so. Plus they take so long to do - they're rapidly becoming the most hated exercise in this program (front runner for now is BSS). I was surprised at my deadlift performance - I'd not tried going over 10 lbs from previous workout but turned in some good numbers. I felt really worked today, which is what you want in a workout - may try to get some cardio in later.
I really hate the lateral rolls as well.

Don't add weight on the split squats because you feel like you have to. Get the exercise down and keep working on your form. You may need to adjust how wide apart your feet are. Here's the thread up in the training section that I asked my questions in. There are several good points and tips!
