Sumo Deadlift (touch and go)

short rest, then 5 conventional deadlifts with same weight, resetting
Superset
Leg Extension - 3x12.....165
Travelling Lunges - 3x12
Good workout, the deadlifts mostly, my back is finally starting to loosen up, 225 for sets of 12 is tough on any day, my back felt a little tight but expected after being away from them for so long. The conventional deadlifts, they felt great, at times I wonder if better than sumo, which they normally do not. Pleased with workout!

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.

I am very pleased with that pr, 315 for 5 reps was a goal of mine for a while, it was flipping heavy though. The single squats are an exercise that are surprisingly hard, felt good though. 100 squats burned, legs were hurting pretty good after this.
