Lower Body - Max Strength
A) Wide Stance Box Squats 6x1 @ 175, 175, 180, 185, 190, 190
Felt nice getting the weight back up a bit higher. Form felt really, really good. Theres a few keys that, when done right, make everything click.
B) Barbell Reverse Lunge - Front Foot Elevated (4.5") 3x5/side @ 55, 75, 95
Started out a bit lower on the weight to see how the elevation would affect it. My best set was the last. I really felt the lunges and my form was steadier with the heavier weight.
C) Stiff-Legged Deadlifts 3x6 @ 155, 185, 185
Same old, same old
D) Med Ball Floor Rotations 3x til it hurt
I don't know if I have the name right for these. Sit on the floor, raise your feet so they're a few inches off the ground, grab a med ball and touch it from one side to another, picking up speed. These are fun, until you smash a finger in between the med ball and the concrete floor. That's happened in the past, and I've been ever wary of them since. :p
Nixed the DB Windmills because my right tricep is feeling funky. 3x6 of an accessory lift is not enough to risk screwing something up. I'll see how it feels in a few days.
Peace out for now
