That's quite the personal record on the hip thrusts, last time I attempted 365 I got 4 but it felt like it was my back to stopped me, this time it was mostly glutes and my hamstrings seemed to take some of the weight, very happy with that.

Legs
7am workout, very rare for me, but made it easiest on my schedule. Groin very sore from last leg day still.
Single Leg Squats
12 reps at level 12
12 reps at level 11
12 reps at level 10
Sled Press - 3x15......300
Superset
Natural Glute Ham Raise - 3x6
Swiss Curl - 3x15
Stepups - 3x10.....95
Leg Extension - 3x15.....165
The single squats were only really tough on the last set, the lower the number the higher the height, good way to track progress. The superset really burned my hamstrings and the stepups were also tough, not used to that many reps. Good early morning leg day.
Conditioning
3 Rounds for time
250 Metre row
20 Metres on Marpo at 7
30 Double unders
Time: 8:55
Prowler Sprints (across)
180
many sets at 225
more sets 180
Overall around 8 or 9 sets
Farmers Walk - across studio 3 times
4 sets at 200 lbs
Very nice conditioning routine. The first part was a little lungs but mostly forearms. The sprints sapped my energy, very very tough. The farmers walk killed my grip, but I loved it.

The pause bulgarians is kind of new, it was tough. You pause on a pad (to protect the knees) for a second then return, 155 for 3 reps was really tough. The last two sets of the hip thrusts I held the top position for as long as possible, it burned a lot, also 345 for 10 reps was a pr. The timed portion was a decent quick burner.
