Legs


Despite only getting maybe 3 hours of sleep plus a short nap, I was heading into the gym knowing I was starting with low bar back squats.  I don't agree with going into a workout expecting a pr, you have to see how you feel.  So I started the back squats and just decided to feel them out.

LB Back Squats
warmup
135x5
135x5
185x5
185x5
work sets
225x5
275x3
315x3
335x1 (pr!!!)

Pause Front Squats
135x5
185x5
205x3
225x3

Romanian Deadlift
135x10
225x10
225x10

I am stoked about that pr, that is a lifetime pr on one of the most bang for your buck exercises on the planet.  I had Ryan spot me for the 315 for a triple, it was very tough but ties the most I have gotten with that weight, so I decided to go for an all time pr.  Brett happened to walk over right before the attempt so I had two cheering me on.  The pause front squats felt awesome too, the 225 for a triple on pause was very tough.  The romanian deadlifts almost always make my hamstrings very sore, probably will again.
