Tough workout, prowler portion got the legs lit up, the 10 rounds of squats was deceptive, I tried to do sets as quick as possible so I had long rest.  The bulgarian combo one was a great ass burner.

100 Travelling Lunges

Tough workout, the back squats felt good, with the chains it would be 271 at lockout, 5 reps wasn't entirely easy, but nothing over the top hard either.  My 5 rep max back squat is 315 at the peak of a squat strength phase, so in relation to that it's bad, but this is also my first time squatting over 225 in many months, so I'll take it!

Awesome workout.  The deadlifts felt great, even better than last time, 275 was still light and I was very tempted to go to 315 but I wanted to stay conservative.

Good workout, I didn't realize I did almost the same timed workout before, but with 8 bulgarians and in almost 12 minutes, so 30 less reps today but also quicker, I'll take it.

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.

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.

I am quite surprised with how well the hip thrusts have progressed, last time I tried them 265 felt quite heavy, 275 felt even lighter, but I have heard that weight progresses quick with this one.  First time trying bulgarians with db's for weight in a while, was quite tough.  Timed portion was good!

Holy burn, the timed portion was a killer, my legs were just done, I am quite surprised how hard single leg hip thrusts are, but it was a good one.  That's two more reps on the leg presses at 540, and also the first time I have done a deadlifting motion since my back has been bugging me.  Good but tough workout!

My back doesn't seem to be healing, it's still not injured just annoying the hell out of me as it prevents two of the best mass building exercises there is.  I'm getting it looked at Monday, till then I can still slaughter my legs by other means.

Bulgarian Split Squats - 50s (right leg)
Bulgarian Split Squats - 50s (left leg)

Single Leg Hip Thrusts - 3x8

Leg Extension - 3x10.....170

Wow, what a burner, the first part was medium, not easy but nothing over the top.  The second part killed my legs, I have done it with 95 pounds on my back, this was just as hard.  That made the single leg hip thrusts kill as well.  Fun workout!

I'm going to rest my back a little bit, it's still quite sore, but this does give me the chance to try different types of leg workouts.

Good workout, bulgarians I haven't done in a while but man do they hurt, especially my ass.  That's a pr on pause squats, it was heavy but felt great.  The glute ham raises were drop sets, the first number with the 10lbs, second just bodyweight.  First time trying cable pull throughs, as I try to find a hard replacement for hip thrusts, they hurt.

This workout was shorter, but my back was very sore.  Sometimes when I go overhead for heavier weights or higher reps my erectors get very sore, nothing too bad but sore enough that doing any kind of squat or deadlift would be a bad idea.  This time it was quite uncomfortable to went with prowler halfs, meaning one set is across the gym, not there and back.

Prowler halfs
180x1
270x1
360x1
450x1
520x1 (pr)
545x1 (pr!!)

Bulgarian Split Squats - 5x10 per leg for time
3:51

I am very happy.  Last time I tried prower pushes at 540 it was too heavy and I only made it half way across the gym and everything gave out, 500 was my personal record.  Today when I got 520 I was happy, it moved swiftly but very painful by the end.  The last set I added just 25 more pounds, plus the 360 on it, plus the 160 pound friend I had sitting on it (takes less time gathering the weights that way).  This set was incredibly painful but being how I failed last time to barely move and got it this time made me happy.  My legs were done though, had nothing left, the 50 bulgarians was for a burn out and I finished quicker than I started but it burned a lot still.  My legs have been cramping on and off since.  Fun workout, hope my back feels okay tomorrow!
